Oscar-winning US film director Michael Moore publicly invited US President George W. Bush on Tuesday to attend the screening of his Bush-bashing documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" in Bush's hometown in Texas.
Moore issued his invitation to Bush on his Web site, saying he wanted a chance to thank Bush personally for starring in the film,which will be screened Wednesday night in Crawford, where Bush hashis ranch.
"And let's face it, you've got some of the funniest lines in the film!" Moore wrote.
Moore also offered to come to Crawford to introduce his movie and discuss it afterward at the Crawford Peace House, a facility for seminars, meetings, or workshops dedicated to peace.
Organizers expected about 1,000 people to attend the show at a football stadium parking lot. But police said demonstrators against the film were also expected.
Moore's anti-Bush and anti-war documentary has become the firstdocumentary to top the 100-million-dollar mark domestically.
"Fahrenheit 9/11" created controversy in an election year because of its strong criticism of Bush's handling of the Sept. 11terror attacks in 2001, Bush family's dubious relations with No.1 Saudi terrorist Osama Bin Laden's family and Bush's oil-motivated launching of Iraqi war. Enditem
