libertangoPaul Krugman's column in the New York Times today (NB: req registration) leads off with a fascinating piece of info:
"Since it opened, Fahrenheit 9/11 has been a hit in both blue and red America, even at theaters close to military bases. Last Saturday, Dale Earnhardt Jr. took his Nascar crew to see it. The film's appeal to working-class Americans, who are the true victims of George Bush's policies, should give pause to its critics, especially the nervous liberals rushing to disassociate themselves from Michael Moore.
Here's a hint: If you're a Republican president pretending to be from the South, it's bad news when NASCAR drivers and their crews go watch a two-hour movie about how you're a chump.
Just sayin'.
