Lumpy Riefenstahl Invades Convention, Brings Heavy Security
Michael Moore is so threatened by those warlike Republicans that he is hanging out at the GOP convention with a bevy of security guards. Editor & Publisher reported that "the biggest commotion at the Republican National Convention Monday night occurred just before 10 pm with the entrance of anti-Bush filmmaker Michael Moore, who was repeatedly halted by security attempting to reach his reserved press seat in section #340 near the side of the stage. Moore is writing a daily column this week for USA Today." Are Lumpy's goons unarmed? If not, where do they get their guns? Self-defense for me, but not for thee. I resent that, I am only half as thick as Lumpy, if that much (6'2" 194), and proportionally more vulnerable to gunfire. He could have the courage of his convictions, leave the guns, and wear body armor instead. We could strip a couple of surplus M-113s for the material. Moore's timing could not have been better. Soon after arriving, Sen. John McCain mentioned Moore in his speech as the "disingenuous filmmaker who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq was an oasis of peace." After McCain's remarks, the audience booed — then began chanting, "Four more years!" E&P reported that when Moore left soon after, he was "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." [No word yet if Moore has agreed to be the organization's poster child.] (That last sardonicism is the source's, not mine) "What a hero!" LLLs will say. "Did Saddam's opponents have the courage to crash a Baathist Convention?" "Do Castro's critics invade the commie conferences?" "NO! Michael is twice the man they are!"
