AS a Labour Party supporter my natural inclination is to root for the Democrat Party candidate in an American Presidential Election.
On this occasion I rejoiced at the re-election of the Republican George Bush, as, with any luck, it will wipe the smug, sneering, supercilious, self-righteous smirk off the face of movie-maker Michael Moore and the US-hating, Iraq-obsessed, liberal left he personifies.
Moore's multi-award-winning Fahrenheit 9/11 may have pulled the wool over the eyes of the world's media luvvies, but his polemic failed to hoodwink sufficient numbers of the American electorate to swing the election in favour of his preferred candidate.
Clearly his fellow countrymen are not the morons he likes to depict them as, and possess a political sophistication he feels only he and those who share his skewed world-view can lay claim to.
