Moore had invited Bush to attend the screening, saying on his Web site he wanted a chance to thank him personally for starring in the film. "And let's face it, you've got some of the funniest lines in the film!" he wrote. ...

4. Crawford is breathing a sigh of relief

Crawford is a tiny town (population 705). Protesters are driving from Waco and the Crawford police were concerned about their ability to keep things under control. Moore is also committed to be in Los Angeles on Friday for Bill Maher's Real Time.
