How would the media have reacted if Ah-nold had won the Palme d'or?
"A brilliant coup for this singular American who won over the French and the film world"...or something like that.

How would the media have reacted if crowds thronged to a documentary on "The Life of Ronald Reagan?"

"America loved this most republican of presidents, and they still do"...or something to that effect.

How would the media have reacted if a movie featuring Bill Clinton was greeted by theatre goers with epithets shouted at the screen and tears of sorrow flowing uncontrollably in response to his policies and actions?

"American audiences have finally found a vehicle to vent their righteous spleen at this wildly unpopular president who has destroyed America's standing in the world and become a laughing stock both here and abroad."...you get the idea.

And, finally, how would the media have reported on a right-wing film maker who had to fight for his film and beat the odds getting it to the screen and made a killing at the box office in the process?

"Mel Gibson's singular vision of the Passion of The Christ gives an earthy verisimilitude to the factual, historic death of Jesus, converting new disciples to His cause while strengthening the deep and heartfelt faith of true believers worldwide."

So, when does our liberal media start showering praises on F 911 and Michael Moore?

4. Ah-nold comments on MM's film "Roger & Me":
"Ya, you remember in dat film when the lady sells the rabbits? Ya, you could either buy them for pets for da kids, or you could have her club them to death and take them home for dinner, ya? Well, dats what I want to do in Cauli-forn-nia wid da other pets, like cats and dogs and, ya, even wid da bunnies, too. Only we need to remove da microchips first from da pets and place them in da socialists and communists and Democrats so we know where to hell dey are, ya?

"So, like Maria always says, 'give da credit where da credit is due,' ya. So, I want to thank Michael Moore for giving me dat great idea on how to save da moneys for Cauli-forn-nia while still buying da Cuban cigars and running the state audits like I promised and investigating whether or not I was a groper like I promised and emptying out da animal shelters and all da other tings, too."
