Filmmaker Michael Moore told Jay Leno on Thursday that the Bush administration has served him with a subpoena for going to Cuba to film parts of his newest movie, "Sicko."
Moore, who made an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," said he found out about the subpoena while working at his network's studios in Burbank, Calif.

Only in his dreams!
I also find it interesting that he is claiming BUSH ADMINISTRATION did it. He actually thinks Bush ordered it?
In general this story is too vague to even know what is going on.
Probably.
But we can dream, can’t we? :D
As someone pointed out, I’m quite sure you have to PERSONALLY RECEIVE the subpoena, literally in-hand.
When is he going to make the movie, “Liar”?
Or, better yet, “Fatso Liar”?
His next film is “Fatso - Mr. Moore goes to Washington”.
I’m sure it’s true that Moore is claiming this. But I call BS on the president having a subpoena drawn up.. Moore is obviously distraught at the failure of sicko and is grasping at straws.
and....Moore is an absolute IDIOT.
and....Moore is an absolute IDIOT.
and....Moore is an absolute IDIOT.
“Michael Moore Says Bush Administration Has Served Him With Subpoena”
Unfortunately he thought they said Lasagna and ate it.
‘Yeah, the guy’s a congenital liar. I’ll believe it when I see proof.’
Yep, and Jay Leno has become a congenital enabler.
Not quite true. I served papers for awhile and as long as someone will accept and sign for it it is considered served.
This in in the recipients home tho.
OK.
But the way it sounds here, maybe it didn’t even get to 1 of his many homes, though?
The press including Fox is simply too willing to report every and anything this fool says without a scintilla of reportage.
the only thing better than al gore flying around in a private jet telling me to use less fuel
is fat mike moore going around telling me I need him and Hillary to be healhy
Not really. He's making a ton of money off this sort of thing, and I'm sure the subpoena comment was thrown out there to keep his latest "documentary" on the radar a little longer.
U.S. fines citizens for travel to Cuba

CNN Havana Bureau
HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) — Until recently, the biggest dilemma for American tourists visiting Cuba was how to get cigars past United States Customs. Now the problem is how to get themselves past customs.
For the last few years, U.S. authorities had basically turned a blind eye to the tens of thousands of Americans who come illegally to see this forbidden fruit of the Caribbean. But no more.
On President George W. Bush’s orders, the Treasury Department has begun an energetic campaign to track down and punish Americans who defy U.S. travel restrictions to the communist-run island, the only country in the world off-limits to most Americans.
Donna Schultz, a retired social worker from Chicago, Illinois, traveled to Cuba via Canada for a bike tour. On her way home through Toronto, American immigration and customs officials were waiting.
“This woman was leafing through my passport very carefully, and she said to me, ‘Have you been anyplace else besides Canada?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, it’s pretty obvious that I had my passport stamped in Cuba.’”
A couple of months later, she received a notice from the Treasury Department of a $7,500 fine.
‘Moral statement’ or undemocratic?
Since May, hundreds of Americans who didn’t even have their passports stamped have received these notices, with fines that can go as high as $50,000.
The law forbids unauthorized Americans from spending money there, effectively preventing them from traveling. Critics say that’s a violation of the First and Fifth amendments, which guarantee freedom of expression and other individual rights.
“It’s repugnant to everything that we as Americans think,” said United States Rep. Charles Rangel, a Democrat from New York. “You know, this type of behavior is the behavior that you would expect from a communist dictatorship that wants to keep its people at home.”
The White House argues that American tourist dollars only help Fidel Castro stay in power, with Bush calling the sanctions “a moral statement.”
“As someone pointed out, I’m quite sure you have to PERSONALLY RECEIVE the subpoena, literally in-hand.”
You do in California. I have to hand serve deponents and trial witnesses all the time.
A subpoena for what? Why didn’t he bring it?
SpongeMike Sweatpants is an idiot - trying to drum up support for his movie that’s tanking at the box office.
