To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9<br>11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness.
A political candidacy built around hope and change and compromise would eventually become a presidency of crisis and confrontation.
