#1 If I was in the GOP, I wouldn't comment on this at all. It would sound like sour grapes. Let Moore make a fool of himself on a public stage. He will totally turn off any independents or undecided voters. If I was a GOP strategist/spokesperson I'd just point out (dryly) that if the best the DNC can do is a pathiological liar (Moore not Kerry in this instance) then that should speak for itself.

#2 I disagree, I'd comment on it all day and night. I'd bring all the attention I could to it so that as many people as possible tune in to see what Michael Moore has to say. The Dems associating with this anti-american scum bag is a disaster for them and the GOP should make sure everyone sees them doing it.

#3 I think the reference is to a South Park episode where the citizens were complaining about people from the future taking their jobs.

#4 Tough having to avoid a body with its own gravitational constant...

LOL!
Rare. I think I'll steal it.

#6 "Democrats were abuzz and Republicans aghast" - strike that, reverse it. Talk about a Br'ar Rabbit moment...

#7 "Democrats, though careful to say Moore won’t outshine Kerry, brimmed with excitement."

I absolutely love it when Democrats brim with excitement-- not to mention when they gush or burble! I love it, because it means they're about to do something incomprehensibly, scintillatingly stupid.

Such as, assuming Republicans would be "aghast" at the notion of the Democrats making this 450-lb, obnoxious, ignorant, bigoted asshole a prominent fixture at their National Convention.

Here's another great idea that would really make the Republicans "aghast": while they're at it, why not let Woody Harrelson give the keynote address?

Sheesh. I can't believe that I once belonged to that party.

#8 And Linda Ronstadt should sing the National Anthem at the DNC, of course, preferably on the night of Kerry's acceptance speech.

#10 I hear that Whoopie Goldberg is available... Have her present the Democratic Platform.

#11 It is just me or does Michael Moore crave attention? Steve, Attilla and the Huns nailed that with "Michael Moore,Michael Moore you're a media whore." mms://audio.aath.net/hatefullies

#12 Hopefully Moore will show up on nationwide TV. Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America. Here's your new Democrat Party!

(CSPAN should have it any event, eh? Could make for some good campaign ads, methinks.)

#13 Well it might be good for Bush's re-election, but in the long run it is not good to have a major party whose only motivation is hate.

After all hate leads to anger, anger leads to fear and....

#14 As Mitch says, it strikes me as improbable that Republicans would be "aghast". But if the reporter is one of the people who thinks that Moore's movie is a daring revelation of the deep truth that the Republicans don't want you to see and know about, then I can see how the reporter might well think Republicans would be afraid of having Moore doing this. The reporter wouldn't need to go out and actually find any Republicans to ask them what they really felt (and besides which, they're damned hard to find in Massachusetts).

#16 Wow. They'll do anything for ratings these days. Pity that the convention is in the Fleet Center and not the Gahden, else I would have nominated him for an obstructed view seat. Instead the unlucky folks behind them will win that award.

I wonder where/when they'll let him bleat speak to his flock of sheeple.

#17 
Now that’s a matchup made in heaven, Nutty and Nuttier.
Heh. That's a great assessment, Raj - but which is which?

#18 CrazyFool - I don't care who presents the Democratic platform, I'd just like to know what it is (other that Bush=Hitler and we don't pay all of our money to them in taxes to fork over to other, non-tax-paying people in order to buy their votes).
