USA Today has hired Michael Moore to cover the RNC convention?

This is called "fair and balanced"??!?!?

Unbelieveable.

Yes, he has a column in USA today, at least I saw one last night with
his usual hate fest in it. Why they would do this is beyond me.
He is not just ugly, his soul is ugly.
I will not be going back to read more. Wink

USA Today and "fair and balanced" do not go together in the same sentence.

Michael Moore is a cheap hack writer, so he is emminently qualified to be a reporter for that Gannett rag.

He may be a bit over-qualified.

They hired Ann Coulter to cover the DNC, but didn't understand her so fired her. I "got" everything she wrote and thought it was hilarious.

Hired him to cover the RNC and Ann Coulter to cover the DNC conventions.

Ann Coulter was fired after her first column.

Too sarcastic, not funny enough.

Any bets on the likelihood of the mooooooore-on being fired?

He flashed the L for loser sign when MCain called him a disingenuous filmmaker.

USA Today abuses the Letters USA...I will be emailing
them if Moore goes to print...USA doesn't talk about
the America I know! Nothing like encouraging a
socialist to spew his garbarge. Wonder what the
fee for a socialist viewpoint is?

I read that column, and thought it was not only funny, but typical Ann Coulter. Makes you wonder what they thought they were getting when they hired her. FAT CHANCE of Moore getting the sack, birds of a feather hang together.

McCain ripped moore a new one and the fact that he called McCain a loser, a Vietnam Vet and POW, won't win him any points. I thought liberals were into respecting those who served in Vietnam? What happened? Guess it's just respecting LIBERALS that served in Vietnam. But that's okay. moore is such a slob looking hack fat boy, he needs to just be put in a museum with a case of twinkies and pink koolaid stuck in every few hours so we can keep him alive to remember what socialists are like, and make sure to keep them where they belong. In cages and out of power. The opening speeches tonight were AWESOME!

The 9-11 families were SOOOOOOOOOOOO amazingly touching and powerful. Any kerry people who whine about 9-11 being abused at the convention they will be taking a dangerous risk I think. Those women lost their most precious things on 9-11 and they have the RIGHT to speak at the convention about that, and support President Bush! That's THEIR freedom of speech.

The Iraqi woman was amazing too! I almost fell off the couch when she said so plainly that "America has given my people the greatest gift that ANYONE can EVER give someone. The gift of freedom and the gift of Democracy. The ability to worship God as we see fit." WOW! That blew me away because you NEVER hear muslims say that! And she VERY passionately thanked all the parents of the troops who have died in Iraq for their sacrifice and thanked them and promised them it wouldn't be in vain. It was really amazing. You could almost hear the democrats and the kerry people beating their heads against the walls! "An Iraqi woman talking about the freedom in Iraq, and the moderate Republicans McCain and Giuliani who many independants really like and listen to, bashing kerry and coming out with nothing but total support for Bush! NOOOOO!" Sad string of speeches for the democrats.

Especially when Giuliani mentined kerry's sevice in Vietnam and called it brave and the Delegates applauded and many stood. That must have REALLY killed the kerry people. You just know that they were hoping that when that came up, the delegates would boo him. Didn't give them that weapon either! It was GREAT! Again, I can almost hear the kerry people saying "NO! They're applauding kerry's service in Vietnam! NOOOO! BOO HIM!!! BOO HIM!!! D****T!" Hahahahahahah!!!!!!!! Very Happy

Navy, back in the far away day, WWI there was a SUPER GUN, a 200 some odd MM cannon that was transported by rail. The biggest gun ever made to date. But still. I don't think they could squeeze his fat twinkee butt in there. It would jam and blow up all over the place. Though that too would be okay. It would be a mess though. LIke when the Stay Puft Marshmallo Man blows to smitherines in Ghost Busters. That would be the mess I believe. Heh heh heh. Smile
