Did you watch Scarborough last night? Richard Walter, UCLA film professor (and quite liberal I believe) stated he was not going to defend Moore's film.

Some of his comments on Moore and his film:

I said to you, Pat, on Alan‘s show, on “Capital Report,” just a few weeks ago that I think with Moore is a bloated, overfed, underloved narcissist with a real clinical disorder.

I‘ve told you again and I‘ll tell you before, I think Michael Moore is over the top. He is a flamboyant man who takes too much of the attention off the issues. His films are provocative and engaging, but they are dishonest.

None of us has seen this movie. I liked his other movies as entertainment, but I thought they were both dishonest. I‘m not going to defend that statement that he just made. I agree with you. I think it‘s ridiculous and it‘s a distraction. It‘s a distraction from the war.

FWIW, Walter was highly critical of the administration and the issue of WMD in his comments.

Your slavish devotion to Michael Moore and his mocumentaries is comical.
