Colbert Report/Comedy CentralMicheal Moore on the Colbert ReportMaverick documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, who has been seen wearing a Rutgers University baseball-style cap during recent high-profile TV appearances, wears the hat as a thank you to a Rutgers librarian who helped his cause years ago, according to a report on the Rutgers Today website.
The report said Moore has sported the Rutgers cap at various times as a gesture to Ann Sparanese, a librarian and Rutgers graduate. Sparanese, a librarian at the Englewood Public Library, posted online support that helped the filmmaker get a book published after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrrorist attacks when the publisher was worried the book would be seen as unpatriotic.
