Watching Michael Moore invest all of his time proving our president is an idiot is like watching a documentary bent on proving McDonald's is bad for you. (Oh, wait…) But documentarian swipes aside, Fahrenheit 9/11 does provide an interesting look at what's wrong with our current commander in chief, and the DVD comes packed with plenty more to help hammer Moore's point home. "The Release of Fahrenheit 9/11" ventures outside New York to examine the difficulty in getting the flick into theaters across the nation, featuring interviews with angry supporters, positive theatergoers, and frustrated theater owners. Deleted scenes offer more footage from Iraq: prisoners being released from Abu Ghraib, Iraqi towns before the bombings, and a Swedish journalist narrating his footage amid a messy raid in Samara. Other extras include Arab-American comedians and their post-9/11 material (think Seinfeld, but with angrier airplane bits) and Condoleezza Rice stuttering through her 9/11 Commission Testimony. The remaining extras consist of Dubya stumbling through press conferences and speeches, the most uncomfortable coming after his meeting with the 9/11 Commission, though it's nothing you haven't already seen employed in his debate technique.
