4. But....in a week or so some DU'ers will be gushing about Tweety..
Figure it out folks,Tweety is a puppet just like Scarborough and the rest. He works both sides of the streets every once in a while when he ratings slip.

He's a used to be Dem now a full blown Repuke. He gets paid by the RW,nothing will change that....

5. Sad to see he is such a jackass about this
You can't copyright a title, and he knows it. What an ass.

Oh, and Bill Shakespeare called, he wants Ray to return "Something Wicked This Way Comes"

7. ....and Shakespeare's MacBeth quote....


.....by the way I prick my thumb; SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES.

Although Shakespeare stole...I mean borrowed Hamlet from the story Amleth.

As for Bradbury.....I couldn't give a flying "Cheney".

Cheers,
Kim

25. May I suggest an "enhancement" of "Cheney".
How about saying "I don't give a flying Dick"?

10. how utterly SAD
they CAN'T attack the movie on it's facts and they can't attack it because it's a HUGE success...so they bring out Bradbury to complain... about the TITLE.

and, they KNOW he has NO case.

12. Bradbury is the ONLY person actually threatening Moore....
with legal action. And anyone can see he's ridiculous. Does he think
he has a patent on the word 'farenheit'?

I think you are allowed to steal from Shakespeare cause he's been dead
for......awhile. His works are public, or whatever the term is.

13. it's not the law,
it's the hypocrisy. of course Shakespeare is public domain now.

Bradbury has been an author long enough to know that titles are not subject to copyright...

21. Yeah, I know. I was just trying to be informative...
I agree, its totally ridiculous for him to be freaking when he has pilfered
Shakespeare. :)

If his book is getting a free ride out of this, he should be grateful!
Maybe that's what the judge will tell him.....

14. "I Sing the Body Electric"
Bradbury used the same exact title for a short story as a Walt Whitman poem, while Michael Moore changed the title to make it a takeoff.

17. you can't steal a title, they can't be protected
this is an outrage that it's discussed without a correction on the facts like this. Now they're going on to trash the movie itself. Andrea can't bring herself to call it a documentary, because it's more of a propoganda piece. Then Fineman continues about how it's just a cheeleading piece and has no facts to offer.

I'm so sick of this twisted version of America I've been dropped into without my permission. Someone take me back to the real America, where free speech is protected PLEASE!

18. What a pathetic whiner he is!
His title is Different than MM's movie..What the hell's his problem? But, he DID say he's going to see the movie..
This whacked out chic, Andrea Mitchell, isn't she Alan Greenspan's wife? What a POOR choice Chris Matthews has as a replacement! But am not surprised since it's apparent she's a repuke, and I wouldn't doubt that she was put up to get this whiner on the show!

19. NEXT: Bradbury on Dennis Miller
To complain about those horrible fucks over at the Weather Channel that keep insisting on stealing his shit, too. It's "Fahrenheit this" and "Fahrenheit that" over at that goddamned Weather Channel.

22. Chris Matthews and his ilk gave the world George W. Bush
Of all the whores, Matthews is the one who most contributed to the atmosphere that lead to the destruction of Al Gore. He should be sent to Iraq.

34. so true
you should read about him in David Brock's Republican Noise Machine.

He's a loathsome bastard, always was. Even when he worked for Congressional Dems, he was best described as a libertarian. And he only went to work for others in Congress cause his sorry ass couldn't get elected. It was the next best thing to get a sense of power. What a POS!

30. Ashcroft, singing When Eagles Soar while they put "drapes on the
naked Justice statue".... that would make a good clip.

In the Meantime, Hardball is getting desperate indeed what with their tired take on 9/11
