Calling Michael Moore

You need a scorecard these days to keep track of whom is being subpoeaned in Washington.

The latest is filmmaker Michael Moore, subpoeaned by the Bush Administration to explain why he took 11 ailing Americans to Cuba for health treatment. Moore used their experiences in Cuba in his film, "Sicko.''

Americans may visit Cuba but only for certain purposes, and apparently, Moore's campaign to get universal health care coverage in the United States doesn't qualify. He said alleged terrorists are being held in Guantanamo Bay and receiving free health care while incarcerated, so why not non-terrorists?

Two other juicy items came up in Moore's announcement: (10) The Weinstein Company will donate 11 percent of the box office proceeds of "Sicko'' to 9/11 rescue workers in need of health care, and (2) Harvey Weinstein, head of the company, asked Moore to delete references in "Sicko' saying that Sen. Hillary Clinton, a presidential candidate, is backed by insurance companies.

Weinstein is supporting Clinton's candicacy. The reference remains in the film, which has grossed about $19.2 million in five weeks.

Stay tuned.
