Fahrenheit 9/11 - A Comedy

I finally got around to reading this article in Slate by Jack Shafer from June of this year.  In it are the threats and bullying tactics everyone has come to expect from Michael Moore, as he claims that he will sue anyone who "maligns his film or damages his reputation".
 
Now, that fat man who is NOT from Flint, Michigan, claimed from the very beginning that his "film" (for lack of a better word) was a documentary.  He did the same with "Roger and Me" and "Bowling for Columbine".  I fully realize that I am not the most intelligent person in the world.  I'm not even in the top billion or so.  But the word documentary has always held a very specific meaning to me - that what was presented were facts, and that any variation from the facts was noted as such.
 
On reading Mr. Shafer's article, I see where Mr. Moore has described his "work" variously as "an op-ed piece" and "a comedy".
 
Does this mean that he has disqualified himself from the Documentary category of the Academy Awards?  Will he go back to Cannes and return their Palme d'Merde?
 
And to think - many politicians from the left side of the aisles have given this sterling reviews, raving about it magnificent portrayal of the facts.
 
If only Mr. Moore could have come up with a catchy tune, like "Springtime for Hitler".  I gotta go puke now.
