It's really a silly little non-event, but it's the source of a rash of heart attacks and strokes across wingnut land. So in the interest of prolonging their agony, here is
a reprise:
"I feel a strange kinship with Michael," Mr. Gibson said. "They're trying to pit us against each other in the press, but it's a hologram. They really have got nothing to do with one another. It's just some kind of device, some left-right. He makes some salient points. There was some very expert, elliptical editing going on. However, what the hell are we doing in Iraq? No one can explain to me in a reasonable manner that I can accept why we're there, why we went there, and why we're still there."
I'm a fan of Moore, and proudly consider him kin. I don't feel a kinship with Mel Gibson, though. That's one dude I simply don't get, though I'm glad he's not the wingnut the wingnuts thought he was.
