LOS ANGELES - Filmmaker Michael Moore has asked the Bush administration to call off an investigation of his trip to Cuba to get treatment for ailing Sept. 11 rescue workers for a segment in his upcoming health-care expose, "Sicko." Moore, who made the hit documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" assailing President Bush’s handling of Sept. 11, said in a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on Friday that the White House may have opened the investigation for political reasons. "For five and a half years, the Bush administration has ignored and neglected the heroes of the 9/11 community," Moore said in the letter, which he posted on the liberal Web site Daily Kos. "These heroic first responders have been left to fend for themselves, without coverage and without care

Screw yourself you fat scumbag! You broke the law, and now you must pay the piper. I was going to say we should assign anal FitzFong to this case but after 6 years and 30 million dollars, FitFong would determine that Rove somehow put the fat lowlife up to it.

Moore doesn’t care about being in trouble. His movie’s due to be released in the next month, and this is great publicity.

He’s going to milk it for all it’s worth.

Unfortunately, I think investigating this POS is a mistake. Count on it, the left will support him.

Washington, DC ---- Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, issued the following statement strongly disputing director Michael Moore's contention that Cuba's communist run healthcare system trumps that of the US:

"Again we see this Hollywood director interjecting himself in politics for the sake of promoting his films. It is preposterous to compare the healthcare systems of the US and Cuba. In Cuba there exists TWO health care systems-- one for tourists, as well as Communist Party officials, and another for Cubans, who are forced to take with them even the most basic necessities when visiting a Cuban hospital; even aspirins are scarce. Does Moore report that in his film? NO.

In Castro's healthcare system, the care you receive is tied to the politics in which one is forced to adhere. If one is a high ranking communist party official then one would get average healthcare; if one is common folk then they would receive substandard healthcare; but if one's last name is Castro, or Alarcon, or Perez-Roque then one would receive optimal healthcare. The latter is even in doubt, though, as seen by the Cuban regime rushing to bring in a Spanish doctor to treat the ill Cuban dictator after several tries by the very best and brightest the regime could muster.

Every week I read how Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet and other incarcerated dissidents suffer from deteriorating health because their ruthless Cuban jailers refuse to provide the most basic healthcare. Why doesn't Moore question this fact? Why doesn't he take the Cuban regime to task for failing to provide its political prisoners with decent healthcare?

We might never know why Moore chooses to ignore the obvious and report the false. What we do know is that no matter how many times he tries to make Cuba into some sort of workers paradise, the truth will always come out because the misery and suffering of the Cuban people is of such magnitude that no one person can deny its factual horror."

When I first heard about that bottom-feedng pus-bucket Michael Moore was promoting a movie called "Sicko," I thought it was his autobiography.

Is there any way I can hack into the Michigan Secretary of State's data base and erase the record that shows I was born in the same state as that repulsive toad?

Didn’t they say he went without getting permission? He asked for it and they wanted him to provide names and the reason for the trip but he never told them?

I just refuse to believe that unionized first responders in NYC are not covered by every social policy benefit known to man.

"For five and a half years, the Bush administration has ignored and neglected the heroes of the 9/11 community,"

Of course Mister Moore thinks that the heroes of 9/11 were islamic.

Another Rich Socialist bashes the Administration. This guy so arrogant to believe this is political. He broke the law, period. Put him in a cell next to Pelosi.
