How the hell did Michael Moore get into the RNC?

[Kid_A]

I knew he was in New York, but I didn't realize until the Daily Show last night that he was actually INSIDE the convention hall. :wtf:

1. USA Today

gave him a press pass.

3. USA Today

He got press credentials from USA Today. He's writing an editorial column for them every day of the RNC. They did the same thing for the DNC with a conservative opinionist.

8. The difference between the two columns:

Michael Moore = genius
Ann Coulter = talentless hack

[Democrat 4 Ever]

11. USA Today had Coulter at Dem's convention

USA Today gave Coulter press credentials for the Dem convention to provide another point of view of Philadelphia. Of course, they refused to run some of her columns because of the vitriolic nature of her writings. She then ran straight to Faux News and whined about censorship, yadda, yadda, yadda and promptly posted the trash to her web site. This shill is a pencil thin penis with buck teeth. She can't write either. But she is loud, very loud.

Michael Moore handled himself Monday with good grace and humor - and will laugh all the way to the bank.

One thing I can't understand - how do you dismiss a product you have never seen? I can understand not liking it after you have viewed a movie but what is up with putting your head in the sand and saying, "Bad, bad, bad - my masters have told me it is bad."? McCain has not seen the movie. I'm betting 95% of the cheering repug clones Monday night haven't seen it either. Guess avoidance is a good defense for ignorance.

6. Why do you ask as though you're completely shocked?

Do you have a problem with him being there?
