Apparently, George Mason University has decided NOT to pay that "fine maker of objective documentary films" Michael Moore $35,000 to speak on campus on October 28.

Took a bit of prodding from one conservative VA lawmaker, though.

And here is a typical Michael Moore Reaction:



Quote:
George Mason didn't notify Moore before making the decision public, Walsch said.

A message left seeking comment from Moore wasn't immediately returned to The Associated Press, but he told The Washington Post he plans to come and speak anyway.

"I'm going to show up in support of free speech and free expression," he said.



Security! Take this man out of here!
