For his visit to Cuba

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.”

Moore declared that the subpoena was unwarranted, saying, “this was a work of journalism.”

“I was there to help them and now I’m going to face this further harassment from the Bush people,” Moore said, according to a transcript. “Aren’t they busy with something else?”

Moore’s trip to Cuba to set himself up as a useful idiot for Castro and spread socialist propaganda to the US (anyone thinking Cuba’s health care system is anywhere near on-par with ours is a fool) was probably illegal.  But turning this into a legal battle is a mistake.  It just gives Moore more of the attention he craves, and it allows him to set up as a “victim” or a “martyr” for his causes

Best just to leave the big, fat idiot alone
