Lightning Rod

Say what you will about Michael Moore, the man is unflappable. Seated in the press box at Madison Square Garden, where he is covering the Republican National Convention for USA Today, the maker of Fahrenheit 9/11 was booed lustily by the GOP faithful after Sen. John McCain made a negative reference to the anti-Bush film. As the crowd began chanting "Four more years!" Moore thrust his arms over his head and replied "Two more months!" Asked later about McCain's remarks, Moore said, "I can't believe they're dumb enough to bring up the film and help its box office."
