Based on Friday's numbers, "Fahrenheit 9/11" was on track for an opening weekend that would surpass the $21.6 million total gross of Moore's "Bowling for Columbine," his 2002 film that earned him an Academy Award for best documentary.

Of course, they go on to compare it to "Passion," which as others have pointed out, is a way of pitting the Evil Ones who dare tell the truth about Bush against Jesus and His Republican supporters... I think this is going to be their angle.

1. Why? Have they got Bush and Jesus confused?

That comparison makes no sense -- dramatic movie about Jesus vs documentary film about Iraq War. . .somebody at AP needs to go back to school.

on edit - change word for more accurate meaning

2. Yes.

When we were protesting before the war began, we had a freeper's kid come by and tell us "How dare you protest! Bush is the Second Coming of Christ!"

3. Too bad Moore just crucified him.

Hey, maybe F-9/11 is the anti-Passion, after all!
