Hugh Hewitt - Michael Moore sends a letter to Kerry supporters telling them to cheer up! Hilarious stuff. My favorite line from the ever charming Moore: "The polls are wrong. They are all over the map like diarrhea." Kerrry-Moore. Kerry-Moore. Kerrry-Moore. Keep helping Michael, keep helping. The last paragraph: "Just for me, please? Buck up. The country is almost back in our hands. Not another negative word until Nov. 3rd! Then you can bitch all you want about how you wish Kerry was still that long-haired kid who once had the courage to stand up for something. Personally, I think that kid is still inside him. Instead of the wailing and gnashing of your teeth, why not hold out a hand to him and help the inner soldier/protester come out and defeat the forces of evil we now so desperately face. Do we have any other choice? Yours, Michael Moore" The inner soldier/protestor? Yeah, that's what America wants. Again, thank you Michael. Thank you. You help keep it clear for everyone. hughhewitt.com

story.news.yahoo.com MRL commentary: Chaffee decides that he never wishes to become President. Republican Senator Says He May Not Support Bush By Thomas Ferraro WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee (news, bio, voting record), a Republican moderate from Rhode Island, said on Monday he might not vote for President Bush (news - web sites) in the Nov. 2 election. Chafee stressed, however, that he has no plans to bolt his party, and that if he does not back Bush he will write in the name of another Republican. His spokesman Stephen Hourahan said afterward that if Chafee does write in a name it would be that of Bush's father, former President Bush. "I'll look at my options," Chafee said in a brief interview on Capitol Hill after discussing his indecision about the current president earlier in the day with reporters in his home state. Asked if he might not vote for the president, Chafee said: "That's accurate." His office said this has been his position for months, though it has gotten little, if any, attention in Washington. "There is no secret that on some very important issues I have difference with the current administration," Chafee said, listing abortion rights, the environment and war in Iraq (news - web sites). "Like all Americans we are looking for some answers to key questions in the weeks ahead," Chafee said. "You wait until November 2 and make your choices." On the other side of the aisle in the Senate, Democratic Sen. Zell Miller (news, bio, voting record) of Georgia has long backed Bush over his own party's nominee, Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) of Massachusetts. Chafee's comments on Monday drew mixed reaction from fellow senators. "It's unfortunate," said Sen. Kit Bond, a Missouri Republican. "He is a gutsy and principled guy," said Sen. Thomas Carper (news, bio, voting record), a Delaware Democrat. "He marches to his own drummer." "He is a good fiscal conservative," Sen. Lindsey Graham (news, bio, voting record), a South Carolina Republican, said with a chuckle. "What I like about him is that he can be a Republican senator and at the same time say he is unsure about a Republican president," Graham said. "He is a breath of fresh air in politics."
