"What have you done with this pent up, passionate anger? Indeed, what has HE done?"

This from a guy who's regaled us endlessly with the bling he's stuffed into his computer. Let's have it, what have you done? It'd better be good.

Like Rush, all he does is talk and get others riled up.

So, you discount Rush's impact? S'funny, Rush was made an honorary member of Congress for being instrumental in the 1994 Republican rout. Republicans recognize his practical value, even if you don't.

Moore provides narrative, which DOES get people riled up. Which is GOOD. People get stirred to action by the likes of The Jungle or Uncle Tom's Cabin (or Fahrenheit 911). Despite their yeoman efforts and piercing analysis, how far has work from Naomi Klein or Noam Chomsky settled into popular consciousness? You saw Johnny Cochran demolish the LA county prosecutors with "if the glove don't fit, you must acquit", which was banal, but devastating. Republicans have long understood this. You still don't. And apparently won't.
