Yes, he was just being himself. That's correct. No wonder the idiot doesn't address any town hall meeting and say to the questioners to "bring it on!".

56 Deceits of Fahrenheit 9-11 davekopel.com Fahrenheit presents a powerful segment on the September 11 attacks. There is no narration, and the music is dramatic yet tasteful. Instead of the oft-played images of planes hitting their targets, the visuals are reaction shots from pedestrians, as they gasp with horrified astonishment. Moore effectively evokes the horror that every decent human being felt on September 11. But remember, Moore does not necessarily feel the same way. As New York’s former Mayor Edward Koch reported, Moore later said, “I don’t know why we are making so much of an act of terror. It is three times more likely that you will be struck by lightening than die from an act of terror.” Lightning, a natural event, is compared to intentional murder...maybe Moore is contending murder by airplane should be considered a natural event? Fahrenheit mocks President Bush for continuing to read a story to a classroom of elementary school children after he was told about the September 11 attacks. What Moore did not tell you: Gwendolyn Tose’-Rigell, the principal of Emma E. Booker Elementary School, praised Bush’s action: “I don’t think anyone could have handled it better.” “What would it have served if he had jumped out of his chair and ran out of the room?”… She said the video doesn’t convey all that was going on in the classroom, but Bush’s presence had a calming effect and “helped us get through a very difficult day.” “Sarasota principal defends Bush from ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ portrayal ,” Associated Press, June 24, 2004.
