It's clear his film "Fahrenheit 9/11" will make Michael Moore a ton of money. Moore also hopes it will influence the presidential election. Liberal pundits Ellen Goodman and Richard Cohen fear it may.
"Halfway through 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' I realized this wasn't an audience, it was a fan club," Goodman said in her Boston Globe column.
Goodman came to the theater expecting to be one of the fans. "If 'Fahrenheit 9/11' preaches to the choir, you could find me in the alto section," she said.

I heard this backlash tonight, from no less a personage than Frank Rich of the NY Times. Frank said that the movie "Manchurian Candidate" will have more influence on the voters than "F-9-11".
Tis was a definite slapdown of Moore.
I don't think you will last long on this site.
Moore and his message are being mainstreamed as we speak. I just saw a fawning, bush-bashing Moore interview on Fox Sports Net's Best Damn Sport Show.
