Olbermann on McCain vs Moore

Moore’s big smile tonight wasn’t defensive, nor pasted on, nor panicky. He shouldn’t have just smiled, he should’ve sent John McCain a check.

For the thousands inside Madison Square Garden and the millions of Republican faithful watching on television, John McCain's skewering of Moore tonight was a moment of revenge, served per the old Italian saying— the dish that is best enjoyed cold.

And it just sent another weekend-full of movie-goers to see “Fahrenheit 9/11,” put another million or two into Moore’s pockets, and revivified a controversy that had begun to deflate behind the Swift Boat ads and the President’s sudden reversal of field towards the impossibility of “winning” a war on terror.

It is a lesson unlearned by generation after generation of politicians of all stripes, religious leaders of every denomination, and moralists of any other field: If you want to belittle something in the media, ignore it.

1. Maybe McCain's revenge is against the SBVFT

Hard to believe someone who has been in politics that long hasn't learned that lesson yet....

2. Replay Of McCain's Remarks...MSNBC 2:12 CDT

At first I saw the DU string here that Moore had been escorted out of MSG (any credibility to that?) and laughed at the thought of him punking the whole convention...getting kicked out with a camera crew or twenty filming the whole thing.

He's filming his next movie and looks like Mr. McCain just got a starring role! LOL. There's an adage that goes: "Say good, say bad...just say". Let's hope we start hearing more about F911 than Slimeboats!
