#1 "Look at what's happening in the US, where the press is notoriously unenthusiastic about leftwing dissent."

I'm speechless.

#2 All such statements are relative. What the Guardian is saying is American media is not as left wing as we are.

Also note the manufactured news item. Guardian gets x hits from the USA hence Americans are 'hungry' for left wing news. An equally plausible hypothesis is that educated right wingers like myself are just checking out news items.

#3 Ok. So now we know of one person (the author of this piece, Jackie Ashley) who wants to bear Moore's love child.

(Sorry about the disturbing image...)

#4 The only way I'll sign up for this club is if we put muck4doo in charge of re-spelling *HEART* into something I can live with. And shame on you CF for causing me to lose my appetite for breakfast.

#5 CF-I thought Michael Moore "came out" yesterday. He is then alledgedly not interested in Jackie Ashley, no matter how politically sympathetic.

But they might go to a local Starbucks, and have a good cry together about how misogynystic GWB is.

#6 Is this the same writer who analysed the whole of America after visiting an Olive Garden??

If nothing else, this artice shows how clueless the Euro's are at understanding Americans.

Tip to Guardian - if the Sundance Festival gives someone a 20 minute standing ovation - you can rate their popular support by Americans as being equal to the support we gave to Air America ....(for the clueless - that would be .000001 percent of our population).

It's good for Bush, though. As the un-insane Dem's start to find themselves in the uncomfortable position of being the party of Michael Moore, Jerry Springer and Fat Bloated Ted, we conservatives are enjoying our new "morally superior" status.

#7 But now America has Michael Moore. He's huge.

You just noticed? He needs his own zip code.

#9 Please see my comment on the article, "Canadian Embassy Denies Refusing Sheikh Al-Sudais Visa"

This may explain a lot.
