Michael Moore, Being Sued by the Bush Administration?

Michael Moore announced that the Bush Administration has subpoenaed him in the wake of his recent trip to Cuba on the July 26 episode of NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”

It boils down to this. Moore took 9/11 rescue workers with him to Guantanamo Bay, while filming his newest move ‘Sicko’. His reasoning? Terrorists being held captive there are receiving free dental, medical and eye care. Something our own rescue workers DON’T get!

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

The trip was part of his new film “Sicko” which tackles the question of affordable health care in the United States. Moore, who brought 9/11 rescue workers with him on his excursion, explains the reason for his trip, saying: “Took them to Guantanamo Bay because I heard the Al Qaeda Terrorists we have in the camps there, detained, are receiving free dental, medical, eye care, the whole deal, and our own 9/11 rescue workers can’t get that in New York City.”

In a continued effort to help the 9/11 rescue workers, Moore stated that on August 11, the Weinstein Company will be donating 11 percent of the box office receipts from “Sicko” to “help these workers and the other workers who need help,” said Moore.

Also Moore told Leno on the show how his studio asked him to cut a certain segment out of his film. “I just tell the truth in our film. (Hillary Clinton) did something very courageous 14-years ago, saying all American’s should be covered. She got beat up badly for it. Now she’s the second-largest recipient of health care industry money in the U.S. Senate.”

Moore continued: “In fact, I don’t know if I should really talk about this on national television, but you know the head of the studio that’s releasing this filmâ€¦Harvey Weinstein is a big supporter of Hillary Clinton. For the months leading up to the release of the film, he kept calling me every day saying, ‘I want you to take that scene out of the film, attacking Hillary.’ I said, ‘I’m no attacking her, I’m just telling the truth.’”
