That's how I see Cindy Sheehan's meeting with Bush going, if she gets it.

8. he did eventually meet him at the end, but
it was very anticlimatic...iirc, Moore only got to ask hime one question, which Smith shrugged off and walked away

2. That whole movie showed how coldhearted their type is
I agree - it will be a farce.

5. I don't remember that he ever actually met Smith -
didn't the security thugs just keep sluffing him off until one underling finally gave him the Bum's Rush? The guy with the lint remover?

9. That's how I remember it but it's been awhile
since I've seen it. Maybe the OP can help us out he seems to remember Moore finally getting a meeting or maybe he ambushed the guy, I forget. I remember the movie was more about how Flint was devastated by the plant closing then the meeting itself.

6. Michael Moore is such a brilliant interviewer. He is just absolutely
outstanding when he talks with people. He plays the dissevled, passive, investigator as well as Columbo.
