Moore's timing could not have been better.

Soon after arriving, Sen. John McCain mentioned Moore in his speech as the "disingenuous filmmaker who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq was an oasis of peace."

After McCain's remarks, the audience booed – then began chanting, "Four more years!"

E&P reported that when Moore left soon after, he was "accompanied by heavy security. He told E&P on the way out that he was not fleeing: He had to speak to a Planned Parenthood gathering at a theater uptown." [No word yet if Moore has agreed to be the organization's poster child.]
