I just returned from "Fahrenheit 9-11" and it was basically as predicted--anti-Bush, anti-war, and organized around a Marxian theme of the rich and powerful controlling and manipulating the weak. Most interesting, however, were Moore's prominent digs at Senator Daschle, which must have made for some odd moments at the gala premier in Washington which Daschle shut down the Senate to attend. Moore sees Daschle as a weak enabler who supported Bush's "fraudulent" election in Florida and his "lies" about the Iraq war. This, once again, makes the point that the Michael Moore/Howard Dean base of the Democratic Party thinks Daschle is a weak leader and that's why the speculation continues that Daschle will lose his post as Minority Leader.
NOTE: Kranz reports this today too. But he doesn't mention that Daschle delayed Senate action to go to the premier only to have Moore poke fun at him, which is the real irony.
