I only saw him (Reagan) once up close. I was looking at a cruel and stupid lizard.

He sounds a touch jealous, as if he's angry because Moore beat him to the muck-raking.

Yeah, well, I have myself written and presented about a
dozen low-budget made-for-TV documentaries, on subjects as various as Mother Teresa and Bill Clinton and the Cyprus crisis, and I also helped produce a slightly more polished one on Henry Kissinger that was shown in movie theaters. So I know, thanks, before you tell me...

Hitchens should talk about lying. Wasn't he the #1 champion of the WMD's in Iraq reason for going to war?

Sure Moore took a few snickering liberties in his film. But the large parts of the film that he did not in any way spin or fake are still powerful stuff, and the fact is Bush and his friends did have longterm relationships involving over a billion dollars with the Bin Laudens and Saudis.

Also interesting to see Bush just sitting there while the WTC's were being attacked, after he KNEW they had been attacked. Just sitting there. Amazing.
