'Fahrenheit' has elder Bush boiling

New York Daily News - News & Views - Rush & Molloy: 'Fahrenheit' has elder Bush boiling: "The 41st President of the United States has stepped up to defend his son, the 43rd President of the United States, against 'slimeball' filmmaker Michael Moore.
'I have total disdain for Moore,' George H.W. Bush told us when we saw him at the T.J. Martell Foundation Awards gala, where he was honored along with Stevie Wonder and Dr. Daniel Vasella the other night.
'41' has heard enough about 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' Moore's documentary indictment of President Bush, to know 'it's a vicious attack on our son.
'It's a free country, so he's free to say whatever he wants,' the former Oval Officer went on. 'But I don't appreciate it. I don't like it.
'[My son] served with honor, and to get knocked down by this guy, ' he huffed. 'But you got to put up with it. That's what I'd say to [my son].'
We asked what he thought of Moore's use of the comment Barbara Bush made at the start of the Iraq war: 'Why should we hear about body bags, and deaths? ... Why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? And watch [my son] suffer.'"
