Spike Lee joins the Bush bashing bandwagon (Go

Washington:
After Michael Moore, afro-American director Spike Lee
is releasing a movie that hopes to inspire people to vote
against President Bush in the coming elections. According
to Zap2it, Lee claims that his latest film 'She Hates Me,'
which deals with the issue of corporate corruption, is 'anti-Bush,'
because of the fact that Bush has the largest number of
corporate honchos in his team. He is now hoping that the
film, which stars Woody Harrelson and Ellen Barkin, and
showcases the rampant racism in the corporate world, will
at least make the Afro-American community go against Bush.
However, he also admits that his film is not as influential
as Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11." "If you are indicting
big business, automatically, it's indicting George Bush.
George Bush, he has more CEOs in his administration than
any other president in the history of the United States
of America," the report quoted Lee as saying. "I'm very
nervous about this election, because we're all going to
go to hell if George Bush wins," he added.

Bush and Hitler. The video is part of a musical performance
