Moore Is Out

It is now being reported that Michael Moore will not attend any more days of the GOP Convention. While some would choose to see this as evidence of cowardice, I would rather say it is a desire on his part not to provide a rallying point for his "enemies." The prime-time speech of John McCain certainly showed that Mr. Moore is an effective... uh... "foil" to the policies of President Bush. And I doubt he wants to do anything that will strengthen the GOP, or its base.



Who wants to bet that Dan Rather critizes this as "another sign of the articifical nature of the modern political convention"?
