Michael Moore says he's been served
It was bound to happen!
United Press International - NewsTrack - Entertainment - Michael Moore says he's been served
Quote:
BURBANK, Calif., July 26 (UPI) -- Michael Thursday said the Bush administration has served him with a subpoena regarding his trip to Cuba during the making of his new film, "Sicko."
The Oscar-winning filmmaker, who appeared Thursday on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," said he was notified about the subpoena at the network's studios in Burbank, Calif.
"I haven't even told my own family yet," Moore said. "I was just informed when I was back there with Jay that the Bush administration has now issued a subpoena for me."
Moore filmed the trip as part of his film comparing the U.S. healthcare system with government healthcare systems in other countries.
He took three Sept. 11, 2001, emergency rescue workers to Guantanamo Bay "because I heard the al-Qaida terrorists we have in the camps there, detained, are receiving free dental, medical, eye care, the whole deal, and our own (Sept. 11) rescue workers can't get that in New York City."
Moore said the film's distributor, the Weinstein Co., will donate 11 percent of "Sicko's" box-office receipts Aug. 11 to "help these workers and the other workers who need help."

Talk about giving him extra publicity and making him a martyr for helping 9/11 workers. |

Because Castro's an asshole. |
So I hope we're all proud of ourselves, sacrificing soldiers for a country that would send a man to prision for throwing shoes.

The question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam worth? And the answer is not very damned many.

Then, according to you and your ilks, most of the world should be under embargo.. It's because of fear mongering and hatred. |

Re: Michael Moore says he's been served
It has to do mainly with Cuba stealing US property, and to a lesser degree the treatment of Cuban citizens at the hands of its government, for which America has historically had to pick up the tab.

With no administrative history or experience at the job, no proven skills in any executive position is Barack Obama America's first Affirmative Action president??

And there was that thing about Castro sending all his rapists, murderers, theives, and mentally ill over here in the 1980s. Nice guy, that Castro.... |

Re: Michael Moore says he's been served
Honestly, I first thought this thread was about Michael Moore being served a McDonald's BigMac or something...

Re: Michael Moore says he's been served
And just an FYI: its not at all unusual for people who travel to Cuba to be subpoenad to testify about their activities. This has been occuring for decades.
