Michael Moore book gets a few plugs from the Left
Via Clive Davis' blog... a couple of postings on his interview of Jesse Larner's new book, "Moore and Us." first post and second. His page has a link for UK Amazon orders; I can't find it on Amazon US yet.

He does make at least one very interesting point: I would love to see someone from the Right shine some (objective) light on things said by Limbaugh or Coulter.

What would be the point? Limbaugh and Coulter are the right's versions of Moore & friends. The left doesn't try to explain away its loonies, why should we?

To Brian L:
If you are able to get your hands on a copy of "Moore & Us" (only available in the UK so far) you'd find that, in fact, Larner does not "explain away" any such looniness. Indeed, the point of the book is not to make excuses at all, but rather to confront the excuses that are usually made for the likes of Moore (which includes Coulter et al). Surely right-wing political entertainers is not beyond such self-examination? Or will it simply continue to prefer to look the other way?
