Well, as usual, longnshort fudged a lot, making up stuff. Here's what happened: Senator John McCain referred to a certain "disingenuous film-maker who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq was an oasis of peace," and seemed to glance at Moore above him. Much of the audience erupted in boos and then, turning to Moore, many delegates chanted "Four more years!" Moore exclaimed, "Two more months!" He also said, "I can't believe they'd mention the film and help the box office." A short while later Moore exited, accompanied by heavy security. He told E & P on the way out that he was not fleeing: He had to speak to a Planned Parenthood gathering at a theater uptown. About this time, his first USA Today column, for Tuesday's edition, appeared online, titled "The GOP Doesn't Reflect America." Earlier, Moore had received more hassling than usual over press credentials on his way upstairs to his seat. Then it took 20 minutes for him to get from the hallway just outside to the seat, as he was stopped by security two more times. Informed by a reporter that this was highly unusual, Moore quipped: "How well is YOUR movie doing?" When he finally reached his seat, so many cameramen gathered that reporters already seated complained that the crush was disturbing their work. 199.249.170.220 Another irony for the evening...McCain calling Moore disingenuous. Take a look in the mirror, McCain. Also interesting is the fact that Moore's appearance was the only interesting thing going on at the RNC. I can't wait until Bush shows up and starts talking. LOLOLOL
