The unwelcome guest

NEW YORK (CNN) -- It was an obvious jab at liberal filmmaker Michael Moore and his anti-Bush documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," and Moore was there to take the hit in person.
Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, was at the Republican National Convention podium declaring that President Bush went to war in Iraq to protect the United States from a graver threat.
"Don't let anyone tell you otherwise -- not our political opponents, and certainly not a disingenuous filmmaker, who would have us believe," McCain began to say, but the crowd erupted in cheers before he could even finish the sentence.
Moore, who's attending the convention as a guest columnist for USA Today, responded with waves and smiles.
When the crowd began chanting "four more years," Moore could be seen offering his refrain, "Two more months!"
At one point, Moore held up his finger and thumb in the shape of an "L," the symbol for the word, "loser."
"People are going to trust their own experiences with what they've seen with this war and it doesn't look good for Mr. Bush," Moore told APTN.
Moore's column in USA Today on Tuesday ignored McCain's speech, but Moore says he thinks it was, "dumb," for the Republicans to give him so much publicity.
