What gave you that idea? I've spelled out some of his howlers in this
very forum! And here's another: Following 9-11, he claimed that the Bush
administration allowed the bin Laden family's private jet to roam freely
throughout the US, gathering up bin Ladens wherever they were legally
living, and flying them scott-free back to Saudi Arabia to avoid persecution
here. That's a 100% lie, and I've elsewhere derided him for maintaining
that lie. But when he's correct, he's correct (just as Limbaugh, when he's
correct, is correct).
I like a lot of what Moore says, but I'm not a Moore-dittohead; when he's
wrong, I'll happily take him to task for it.

I hope so--I'd hate to think that my morally pristine character could have
been so sullied!
