Conspiracy filmmaker Michael Moore was so devastated by President Bush's election victory last month that he refused to get out of his pajamas or leave his bedroom.
"He was so unhappy over Bush's win, he didn't roll out of bed for three days," reports gossip columnist Liz Smith, after chatting with the left-wing movie man.

Smith adds, "I could live forever without that visual."
Judging from his appearance on the "Tonight Show" last week, Moore's time in bed seems to have prompted something of an epiphany.
Not only did he shave and put on a suit for the show, the Bush-bashing film producer declined to participate in the post-election recount conspiracy-mongering so popular with his followers.
Asked why efforts to install John Kerry in the White House failed, Moore said simply, "I think Bush got more votes."
"The Republicans - I'll give them this - they had a story to tell," he told host Jay Leno. "The Democrats, oftentimes, aren't very good at telling a story."
Commenting on Moore's sartorial metamorphosis, Leno mused, "You look like [House Speaker] Denny Hastert."
