Casino fires Ronstadt for praising Moore

POP legend Linda Ronstadt was fired on Saturday by a Las Vegas casino after praising left-wing producer Michael Moore’s anti-Bush movie Fahrenheit 9/11.

Ronstadt was performing a one-night concert at the Aladdin casino on Saturday night and dedicated her finale, the Eagles classic, Desperado, to Moore, whom she described as a “great American patriot ... who is spreading the truth”.

She said Moore was “someone who cares about this country deeply and is trying to help” with the release of his film.
