Filmmaker Michael Moore revealed on Thursday's "The Tonight Show" with
Jay Leno that the Bush Administration had served him with a subpoena
regarding his recent trip to Cuba made as part of his new film, Sicko.

Moore told the audience that he was notified of the subpoena
backstage.

"I haven't even told my own family yet," Moore remarked. "I was just
informed when I was back there with Jay that the Bush administration
has now issued a subpoena for me."

The Oscar-winning filmmaker filmed his trip to the US base at
Guantanamo Bay, where he pleaded with military officials to let three
9/11 rescue workers enjoy the benefits of healthcare extended to
detainees.

"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 workers later received care and heavily discounted prescriptions
at Cuban hospitals.

Actually, I'm looking forward to the trial. Wonder if Moore will call
Putsch as a material witness?

Excuse me, but Moore broke the law. Are you saying that Michael Moore
is above the law?

Then why would there be a problem with Moore being subpoenaed?

I'm looking forward to Moore doing hard time - after all, he filmed
himself breaking the law.

I couldn't help but notice that the mainstream media is pretty much
ignoring this story - and why shouldn't they? Moore's temper tantrum
on CNN made him a lot harder to support.

Tell me, if Rush Limbaugh had filmed himself smuggling Cuban cigars,
and meeting Castro to do so, wouldn't you be calling for his arrest?

The First Amendment doesn't protect filmmakers from the consequences
of breaking the law. Michael Moore is a criminal, and should do hard
time.
