Wingnuttery

So, I came across a couple of Real Live Republicans. A couple of dorky dudes were standing outside the subway station handing out buttons, screeching something like "Combat Michael Moore's lies! Help President Bush! Take a button! It's too help President Bush!"

The button has the address of a website, and they're apparently very concerned about the DVD release of Farenheit 9/11 (I won't link to it, they don't need the attention).

Anyway, I stopped and started playing clueless with them, looking uncomprehendingly at the button he was handing me. The guy said "combat Michael Moore's lies! You know, the movie! It's to help President Bush!". I let the light of comprehension slowly fill my eyes, and said "ohhh...right... I didn't see the movie.... Did you see it?"

Of course, the answer was "no."
