Will Michael Moore turn his cameras on Katrina?

The controversial filmmaker is “seriously considering” turning the devastating storm and its aftermath into a documentary, says a source. “It has all the elements that made ‘Fahrenheit 911’ such a powerful film,” says a source. “The political outrage, the human suffering, and the incredible footage.”

Moore’s rep didn’t have a comment by press time, but Moore certainly isn’t being silent about Katrina on his Web site. “There is much to be said and done about the manmade annihilation of New Orleans, caused NOT by a hurricane but by the very specific decisions made by the Bush administration in the past four and a half years,” he wrote. “Do not listen to anyone who says we can discuss all this later. No, we can’t. Our country is in an immediate state of vulnerability. More hurricanes, wars, and other disasters are on the way, and a lazy bunch of self-satisfied lunatics are still running the show.”

You can understand it though, can't you? He is a filmmaker that uses that medium to express his anger, frustration, etc. He did a good job with Roger and Me ages ago and it is obviously part of his therapy (like we all need..not insulting him) and what could be more upsetting and frustratiing than what has happened with Katrina?

Personally I think he's ( Moore ) a bit one dimensional, anything for a chance to attack Bush.

I hate bush as much as anyone. But its a bad thing because, all one dimensional attacks accomplish is to make your supporters support you even more, but it does nothing to persuade others if they think all you can do is attack and exploit all circumstances
