OSCAR WINNING OPINION

James Nichols, brother of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols, is suing Michael Moore for libel. Moore's lawyer, Herschel Fink, has asked that charges be dismissed:

"When you see a Michael Moore film, you know it's opinion," Fink said. "And it's protected."

Sure, everyone with even half a brain knows Moore's work, even though fact based, is not factual. So, it's just a bit odd he won an Oscar for best documentary when the rules specify:

An eligible documentary film is defined as a theatrically released non-fiction motion picture ...

Anyway, it's great to hear Moore's mouthpiece admit – in trying to worm his way out of a legal action – what we've known all along. That Hollywood's wall-to-wall with half-wits is a given.
