This was just too good to pass up.

Singer Linda Ronstadt not only got booed, she got the boot after praising filmmaker Michael Moore and his new movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" during a performance.

Before singing "Desperado" for an encore Saturday night, Ronstadt called Moore a "great American patriot" and "someone who is spreading the truth." She also encouraged the audience at the Aladdin hotel-casino to see the documentary about President Bush.

Ronstadt's comments drew loud boos, and some of the 4,500 people in attendance stormed out of the theater. People also tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air.

"It was a very ugly scene," Aladdin President Bill Timmins told The Associated Press. "She praised him and all of a sudden all bedlam broke loose."

Timmins, who is British and was watching the show, said he didn't allow Ronstadt back in her luxury suite afterward and she was escorted off the property.....

On Monday, Moore released a letter to The Associated Press that he intends to send to Timmins.

"For you to throw Linda Ronstadt off the premises because she dared to say a few words in support of me and my film, is simply stupid and Un-American," Moore wrote.

Moore said Timmins owes Ronstadt an apology.

"I have an idea how you can make it up to her -- and to the millions of Americans you have offended," Moore wrote. "Invite her back and I'll join her in singing 'America the Beautiful' on your stage. Then I will show 'Fahrenheit 9/11' free of charge to all your guests and anyone else in Las Vegas who wants to see it."

First off, bravo to the audience. 2nd, next time I am in Vegas Aladdin you get my business! People just want to hear the old hag sing, so shut up and sing. I know in my heart the average American isn't dumb enough to believe Moore's un-truth full movie. And most of the 4,500 voiced how they disapproved of her association with anything to do with Michael Moore. If you want to stand behind your good buddy Linda be prepared the reap the whirl wind.

As for Moore's comments on the casino owner being un-American. Hmmm 4,500 people upset and demanding their money back. Fans hated Linda, so she got the boot. Isn't democracy grand? I can't think of any thing more American than what the Aladdin did. Bravo!

I guess it could be worse, we could have a socialist style system and the National Guard could be called in to pistol whip the crowd back into apologizing to Linda and then making the casino owner disappear for some "re-education."
