3. question

could it be someone bought it and re-directed it to Bush's site?

7. That's exactly what happened.....

.....however it's illegal. If Michael Moore decides to press the issue in court he will be awarded the rights to the name at whatever it cost the currant owner.
FWIW. :evilgrin:

6. Doesn't matter.... Michael Moore can link always link from his site....

no matter what domain they end up with.... But, are related names taken up, too?

8. Looks like fahrenheight911.com is safely redirected to Moore's site

and the common misspelling, farenheight911.com, goes to a recently-started movie forum.
