New York Daily News - Lloyd Grove's Lowdown: GOP itchin' for a Mike fight

New York Daily News - Lloyd Grove's Lowdown: GOP itchin' for a Mike fight: "'Fahrenheit 9/11' director Michael Moore - a virulent enemy of President Bush - has been hired by USA Today to write four opinion columns during the Republican Convention.

Word is that party officials aren't happy that the pugnacious Moore - wearing the credentials of a legitimate journalist - will be the skunk at their garden party next week, traipsing around Madison Square Garden and maybe even causing trouble.

But get a load of what some of the delegates have to say:

Alabama delegate Terry Butts: 'I'm from South Alabama, and we're used to dealing with jackasses, and so I look forward to making his acquaintance. In Alabama, there are probably a few good ol' boys who would know how to put a good knot on his head.'"
