Michael Moore's Analysis of the Convention

USATODAY has further de-legitimized itself as a source for credible news by giving Michael Moore a forum for spouting his nonsense.

A couple of observations:

1. The desperation is beginning to show:

Kerry supporters and Bush-bashers should not despair. These Republicans have not made a permanent dent in Kerry's armor. The only person who can do that is John Kerry. And by coming out swinging as he did just minutes after Bush finished his speech Thursday night, Kerry proved he knows that the only way to win this fight is to fight — and fight hard.

If you have to start saying that only Kerry can beat Kerry, then you are teeing up the excuses for the post-game analysis. "Bush didn't win the election, Kerry lost it." Truly Pathetic.

2. Where was Michael Moore last night? His column was posted on 9/2/2004 at 10:33 PM. Which means that in order to write about the President's speech and Kerry's response, which would have ended around 12:30 AM Eastern Time, the USATODAY server has to sit somewhere west of the Mountain Time Zone. Or the post time was set back, but that wouldn't make any sense. Or Michael Moore wrote this column prior to Kerry's response and just anticipated he would come out swinging. I can't believe the Moore's tin-foil conspiratorial mind would leave this fact to chance. So, maybe someone can explain it to me.
