Is this what John McCain and Russ Feingold had in mind?

Via the Carpetbagger Report: The Hill (um, different Hill) is reporting that the Republican party intends to use the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance law to prohibit advertisement of Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 911, which opens in theaters tomorrow.

This, of course, is exactly what critics of the law, ranging from the far right to the far left, said it would be used for: to silence political criticism for the benefit of incumbents.

A theater in A-squared plans to have a midnight showing of Fahrenheit 911 tonight. I haven't quite made up my mind to go tonight, but I'll be seeing it someday soon. Just to piss off the Bushites.
