Cuba Libre 9/11

That big fat lying piece of crap (and I mean that in a good way), Michael Moore filmed part of "Sicko", his new schlocumentary trashing the American health care system, in Cuba.

According to this AP story (link):

In February, Moore took about 10 ailing workers from the Ground Zero rescue effort in Manhattan for treatment in Cuba, said a person working with the filmmaker on the release of "Sicko." The person requested anonymity because Moore's attorneys had not yet determined how to respond.
....
At last September's Toronto International Film Festival, Moore previewed footage shot for "Sicko," presenting stories of personal health-care nightmares. One scene showed a woman who was denied payment for an ambulance ride after a head-on collision because it was not preapproved.

First of all, let's assume the incident in the "preview" of Moore's flick is true (a BIG assumption with this fat ass). If American "red tape" is a problem, a socialist/communist bureaucracy is NOT a solution.

More importantly, I'm sure that the Cuban government bent over backwards to be helpful to Moore and his delegation as a way to embarass the U.S.

Last year, I had the opportunity to talk to a Canadian citizen who had just returned from a trip to Cuba. For ALL the talk about how "great" things are down there, she observed people living in squalor. And, propaganda aside, the average cuban she met told her, in whispered tones, that they were deathly afraid of the Castro regime.

I don't expect that perspective to appear anywhere in "Sicko" -- making Moore either an colosial idiot or an American-hate spewing liar.
