Radioblogger - I get to say I told you so twice in one night

Just finished watching Michael Moore, clean-shaven and in a suit, on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He was subdued, and actually told a few amusing jokes to break the ice. He said he was dressing up in a suit to get ready for the IRS audit he was sure was coming. Not bad.

Then he said he had just come from CBS, where he was auditioning for the anchor job. He said CBS wanted someone a little less controversial, and without as much of a personal agenda. Pretty good.

Then the money question and quote. Jay asked why Michael thought Kerry didn't win. Michael said, "I think Bush got more votes, but there's another game in four years, and we'll do the best we can."

He admitted that the election process is just a game. If you go back to the radioblogger archives all the way back to October 8, or here for the rest of you lazy people, I mentioned that politics was like this country's real national pastime, except that after 9/11, the playing field had changed. The Democrats still thought of the election as the "big game", while the Republicans realized that it wasn't a game anymore. The election really meant something this time.

Michael just proved my point.
