According to Cokie Roberts, a big time leftist reporter herself, Michale Moore was the direct proximate cause of John Kerry's defeat at the polls.To all Michael Moore supporters and defenders, we thank you.
BTW, Roberts also commented on Moores appearance. Silly me, I thought liberals and assorted leftists were more compassionate than to ding someone for their appearance...such things being beyond the control of mere mortals.

Cokie Roberts Blames Michael Moore
Former "This Week" host and National Public Radio veteran Cokie Roberts blamed conspiracy filmmaker Michael Moore on Sunday for causing Sen. John Kerry to lose the presidential election.
"I think Michael Moore actually had a very major impact - a negative impact - on the Democratic Party," Roberts told NBC's "Chris Matthews Show."
"I think he exemplified all of the things that people hate about Democrats. And the fact that he was - it was a hate-America-first campaign and that hurts the Democrats every time."
Adding insult to injury, Roberts also contended that Moore's "physical appearance did not help."
