		On Wednesday Moore balked at the new requirement and refused to provide a photo ID as she entered the State Capitol.
		Moore told the officer she was entering the Capitol in five minutes, regardless of the officer's orders.
		And of course, security took a back seat to Gwen Moore's indignant recalcitrance, as Capitol Police caved and stopped requiring a photo ID.

	Jonah Goldberg on Michael Moore and Fahrenheit 9/11 on National Review Online
		Most of the Washington liberals celebrating Moore — outside the DNC where he is simply a hero — concede that Moore is a liar, a propagandist, a crafty fool.
		Or listen to Gwen Ifill — famed right-winger that she is — on yesterday's Meet the Press: "You know, I look at this movie as a journalist, and as a journalist I have this affection for facts and accuracy.
		Michael Moore is guilty of the same thing that he and a lot of Democrats say that the Republicans are guilty of." By which she means that Moore juxtaposes one set of facts with another and says they must be related — precisely the complaint the Left makes about ties between al Qaeda and Iraq.
