If MM has nothing to hide and did nothing wrong then what’s the problem? He will be duly exonerated, just like Scooter Libby.....
I thought ‘Sicko’ was the title of Michael Moron’s autobiography.
If not, it should be.
Publicity stunt with the Feds playing right into Moore’s hands.
Certainly, those weren't the reasons you went to Cuba, were they, Michael?
Somebody should tell this hypocrite ‘be thankful we don’t assign camera crews to follow you for days or weeks on end, documenting your life, then editing it all to make you look ridiculous’.
(chuckle)
So if the Justice Department opens an investigation, it is a “White House investigation”, or a “Bush Administration investigation”?
FUFB!
LOL! That is sooo funny! Somethings telling me that ole' Michael's in a pinch. I'm sure 'Fahrenheit 911' is still on W's mind.
Define irony...
Well, of course he does.
Michael Moore should explain why he believes he is exempt from following US law.
Throw him in the klink for every infraction, and let him wallow with even stupider white men, and the bros.
He is such trash.
If MM needs a “probe” or a heart bi-pass to save his life I’ll bet he doesn’t go to Cuba to get it.
I haven’t read in depth on this “sicko” thing... but can someone tell me why he was taking this guy to Cuba? I didn’t understand that? Is Moore trying to promote Cuba’s healthcare system?
Make Mikey spend big bucks on lawyers to fend off the feds. Just like many others have had to
I’m sure everyone who is being probed by the government would like to have a media platform to call for the investigation to be halted.
Joe Boucher is calling for Michael Moore to go to jail for a decade. With abuse from a big guy named bubba demanding him put of the lotion. More Lotion.
First he leaks the info and now all he is doing is milking the media for all the free coverage he can get solely because he will be in Canes later this month.
End to probe? Absolutely not.
I call for a REAL federal probe; of Michael Moore’s posterior region, preferably to be done with a high-pressure steam hose.

"The Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control notified Moore in a letter dated May 2 that it was conducting a civil investigation for possible violations of the U.S. trade embargo restricting travel to Cuba.
"This office has no record that a specific license was issued authorizing you to engage in travel-related transactions involving Cuba," Dale Thompson, OFAC chief of general investigations and field operations, wrote in the letter to Moore.
In March, Moore took about 10 ailing workers from the Ground Zero rescue effort in Manhattan for treatment in Cuba...
Moore received the letter Monday. "Sicko" premieres May 19 at the Cannes Film Festival and debuts in U.S. theaters June 29. After receiving the letter, Moore arranged to place a copy of the film in a "safe house" outside the country to protect it from government interference...
The letter noted that Moore applied Oct. 12, 2006, for permission to go to Cuba "but no determination had been made by OFAC." Moore sought permission to travel there under a provision for full-time journalists, the letter said.
According to the letter, Moore was given 20 business days to provide OFAC with such information as the date of travel and point of departure; the reason for the Cuba trip and his itinerary there; and the names and addresses of those who accompanied him, along with their reasons for going.
Potential penalties for violating the embargo were not indicated. In 2003, the New York Yankees paid the government $75,000 to settle a dispute that it conducted business in Cuba in violation of the embargo. _____________________________
There you have it. It cost the Yankees $75,000 to do business with Cuba. It should cost Moore at least as much if he did "business" with Cuba.
