Michael Moore and his "Slacker Uprising Tour" were at the Sun Dome, where he spoke to about 2,500 people Sunday morning.

TAMPA - Oscar winner Michael Moore admits he often preaches to the choir when he criticizes President Bush and the Iraq war in his books and films. He says its his job.

"The choir has been asleep," Moore said. "The choir needs a song to sing. I'm here to wake up the choir."

For nearly an hour on Sunday at the University of South Florida Sun Dome, he delivered the gospel according to Moore and begged about 2,500 people to vote for Sen. John Kerry on Nov. 2. To unregistered voters who came up to him for a form, Moore gave a pack of Ramen noodles.

"John Kerry is a brave and courageous man," Moore told reporters after the rally. "I will sleep much safer at night with him in the White House."

1. That is a great comeback

to those who say he is preaching to the choir. The choir has indeed been asleep, but those days are over. Nov 2nd will tell the tale. Victory will be all the sweeter because the critics will not be expecting it.

2. he even points to the silly "awolism's" during the debate...

"How many times did he say, "It takes hard work. It takes hard work. It takes hard work?"'

Moore also poked fun at the president's actions during the debate, saying Bush's demeanor reminded him of a Three Stooges episode.

"How about that moment in the debate when Bush reached for the glass, but there's no water in the glass," Moore said. "And he drinks from it anyway ... still believing the American people will fall for the illusion and the deception. Not anymore, Mr. Bush. Not anymore."

That's pretty funny--everyone knows college students live on ramen!

4. "I will sleep much safer at night with John Kerry in the White House!"

that should be put out in ads all across the schwing states

not, "who'd you rather have a non-alcoholic beer with", but who makes you feel SAFER, more SECURE?

huh?

MOVE it out!
