Who’s the SICKO now, Mr. Moore?

It appears Michael Moore may have violated the US trade embargo against Cuba in the making of his forthcoming documentary, SICKO. In the film, Moore takes a handful of 9-11 rescue workers to Cuba in an attempt to prove the island nation has a better, more effective health care system than the United States.

That’s typical Moore liberalism and ridiculousness, but who cares, right? People long ago have either drank the Michael Moore Kool-Aid or he hasn’t. Trouble is, in doing so, Moore apparently did not comply with US law. Although he filed some of the necessary paperwork, online reports suggest more may have filed paperwork with incomplete information. Whether that’s valid or not, what appears to be valid is that Moore did not wait for government approval of his trip under his phoney-baloney “full time journalist” exception clause.

Of course, Moore’s no more of a full-time journalism than any blogger.

While Moore didn’t necessarily buy a set of Studio RTA furniture while he was down there, his journey may cost him a hefty fine; I suggest the fine equal the amount of Moore’s personal and business earnings from whatever SICKO rakes in at the box office. After all, Moore is rich… does he believe he needs to pay the government HIS fair share or not?

Liberalism ain’t so fun when it’s pointed at YOU, is it Michael?

Castro, M.D.

Liberal loon filmmaker Michael Moore is at it again.

His upcoming film, Sicko, which will attempt to take a swipe at US health care, is simply another excuse to take another swipe at President George W. Bush… in a manufactured, truth-challenged way. The New York post reports that Moore attempted to take several 9-11 survivors with medical problems to Cuba, in the hope of making Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro’s health care system look superior to the US health care system. And has better logo pens.

Uhh, which country is home to the Mayo Clinic again? Oops, never mind, don’t bother Moore with the truth. It only upsets him.

Moore’s latest victim, a disabled medic named Michael McCormack, was contacted by Moore via phone.

“What he [Moore] wanted to do is shove it up George W.’s rear end that 9/11 heroes had to go to a communist country to get adequate health care,” McCormack told the Post.

Yet McCormack was left behind when the Moore train left the station for the arms of Uncle Fidel.

“It’s the ultimate betrayal,” McCormack said. “You’re promised that you’re going to be taken care of, and then you find out you’re not. He’s trying to profiteer off of our suffering.”

Classy guy, Mr. Moore! You’re right up there with New York Daily News columnist Michael Daly.
