Reply to "Michael Moore"

Slate's film critic, David Edelstein, writes (at http://slate.msn.com/id/2080447/entry/2080601/):

quote:
My anti-war friends thought that Moore was great while those in my own"”feverishly ambivalent"”camp weren't so convinced. It would have been different, I think, if a non-blowhard had gotten up there and bellowed, "Shame on you!""”had put his or her career on the line to say that Bush was a liar. But that kind of boorish grandstanding comes too naturally to Moore, a man who didn't have the intellectual honesty to add that Saddam Hussein is a "fictitious president," too"”and one who has killed a lot more people than George W. Bush and his father combined. Nothing has ever shaken my faith in my own politics like having Michael Moore in the same camp. When he invoked the Dixie Chicks, I'll bet they wanted to stick their heads in an oven.
