Boston.com / News / Politics / Conventions / Shadegg gets ovation for Moore complaint: "NEW YORK -- Arizona Rep. John Shadegg got a standing ovation from his delegation Wednesday when he announced that, partly because of their complaints, USA Today had withdrawn convention credentials for film maker Michael Moore.

Shadegg had instructed delegates to call USA Today to protest the paper's decision to hire Moore for the week. When a top executive called him to ask why he was mad at the paper, Shadegg said he responded: ''You're just nuts if you think we're going to buy your paper, when you credentialed kind of the anti-Christ.''

As delegates rose to their feet, Shadegg said he got a return call a few hours later saying Moore's credentials had been revoked.
Shadegg referred to ''Fahrenheit 911'' as a ''crockumentary.''"
