I have mixed feelings about Michael Moore.

While I broadly share his political outlook, I find some of his work clumsy and weak. "Dude, Where's My Country?" for example was a terrible book that seemed like it'd been written in a hurry without sufficient thought, reflection or research.

Even so, it's fantastic news that Moore has scooped the Palme D'Or at Cannes for Fahrenheit 9/11.

The movie will put much-needed pressure on President Bush during his re-election campaign and as he tries to salvage his Iraq policy -- and that can only be a good thing.
