There's one place he won't be filming

UPDATE: See end of item.

I BET MICHAEL MOORE asked the DNC nicely, but according to the Flint Journal, Democrats still denied him credentials to the Convention:

The famed filmmaker who delivered a major assault on the Bush administration in his blockbuster film "Fahrenheit 9/11" was declined credentials to the Democratic National Convention in Boston next week, according to Sam Riddle, a longtime political consultant and friend of Moore.

...

Riddle released to The Flint Journal on Friday portions of an e-mail Moore sent him about the snub.

"Can you believe the Dems are not going to give me credentials?!" Moore said in the e-mail signed "mm."

...

He will speak and sometimes screen his latest film at receptions for the Congressional Black Caucus, union leaders and a rally dubbed "Take Back America" in Boston next week. Those events are all separate from the actual convention, however.

Hat tip: Michele.

UPDATE: Michele sends word that Moore's whining has now paid off: He has been invited to the convention after all. Guess the DNC missed this open letter from Moore trashing the 2000 Demo convention.
