Michael Moore Throws Another Tantrum About Bush On Film

Michael Moore is getting ready to make another film about his favourite subject - no not cake, you horribly offensive fool, we mean President Bush.

According to reports, Michael Moore is preparing ground to make a sequel to his 2004 anti-George Bush documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. The new movie has a working title of Fahrenheit 9/11 1/2, although it’s expected that Michael Moore will formally change it to Fahrenheit 9/11: Nyer Nyer Nyer I Was Right All Along Let’s Hear It For Michael Moore I’m The Best I’m The Best nearer the release date.

Anyway, will this new Michael Moore documentary succeed where Fahrenheit 9/11 failed and push George Bush out of office for good? Even better than that - George Bush is going to stop being president about six months before Moore’s film is released. Hooray! Another righteous victory for Michael Moore!

You might think that this is a good time to be Michael Moore what with the impending election and the ongoing Iraq war and whatnot, but it really isn’t. There’s a fairly strong chance that either a woman or a black man will become the next president of America, bringing with them a sweeping agenda of Democrat-based reform. And the second that happens, Michael Moore is effed.

Michael Moore has made a career out of ranting at the American government, about everything from gun control to its lack of universal healthcare to what a shit George Bush is. But if a Democrat is elected president in November, all the things Michael Moore likes to bitch about might just be fixed. It’s a scary prospect, and it leaves Michael Moore with two options:

1) He could start making bombastic, suspiciously-edited, simultaneously doomy and patronising documentaries about whatever irks him the most in a post-Bush world, like Is It Me Or Did Cadbury’s Creme Eggs Used To Be Bigger? and The Woman In Front Of Me In The Post Office Queue Smells Vaguely Like Dog Food, or

2) He could just keep making films about what a crap president George Bush was.

Guess which one he’s going to do. Go on, guess. OK, here’s the Los Angeles Times to tell you:

Michael Moore is plotting a follow-up to his 2004 documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Although the film is being kept under wraps, it is said that Moore plans to pick up where he left off four years ago, to examine the fallout from  eight years of the  Bush administration’s policies. Moore is beginning production on the documentary “immediately,” according to studio reps. Moore’s follow-up to “Fahrenheit 9/11,” referred to informally in some circles as “Fahrenheit 9/11 1/2,” is expected to be released in mid-2009.

What with Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 sequel and Oliver Stone’s George Bush biopic, it seems like we’re going to be inundated with movies showing us all the ways that George Bush messed everything up pretty soon. Which is more than Jimmy Carter ever got. Eat that, Carter.

Of course, what’ll be most interesting to see is what Michael Moore does after this Fahrenheit 9/11 sequel. George Bush has been good business for him, so it hardly makes economic sense for Michael Moore to shut down that avenue entirely - especially when Bush looks set to leave such a suspect legacy behind him.

So here’s to Michael Moore quickly making Fahrenheit 9/11 2, Fahrenheit 9/11 3 and the direct-to-DVD Fahrenheit 9/11 4: He Never Even Rinsed Out The Sink After Shaving Either, The Bastard as soon as possible.
