Michael Moore and the Cuban "Free" Healthcare system

Much has been made of Michael Moore's latest anti-american propaganda piece, "SiCKO where Moore slams the American healthcare system and show Universal healthcare systems from other counties as shining examples of what needs to done in America. Moore pulls one of his typical stunts and takes several 9/11 first responders to Cuba to rightly embarrass the plight of these abandoned emergency workers.

There is one important question that someone needs to ask Michael Moore, if the Cuban healthcare system is so cutting edge and so good, why didn't Fidel Castro, when he fell gravely ill last year, use a Cuban doctor, but a specialist flown in from -- Spain??

Ann Coulter ant the latest example of Media hypocrisy

Ann Coulter was on the low rating MSNBC show "Softball with Chrissy Matthews" earlier in the week to discuss the release of the paperback version of best seller "Godless" and Elizabeth Edwards called in to "ask Miss Coulter to be nicer to her husband. This was in response to the comment Coulter mead the previous day on "Good Morning America". Ann was being questioned about some comments she made about John Edwards masculinity and replied,
"Oh yeah, I wouldn't insult gays by comparing them to John Edwards. That would be mean. But about the same time - you know - Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. So I've learned my lesson. If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."
Now, Edwards is now using the last part of the quote as a fund raiser, "Ann Coulter hopes a terrorist will kill me". sand so on. Many media pundit and critics have bashed and slammed Coulter for her comment, but seemed to miss the context, as usual. Where's the outrage by the media about Bill Maher wishing the Veep was killed? Why didn't John Edwards question Coulter himself? Why did Elizabeth do it on her own without asking John? Why are the using the incomplete quote? Why aren't the media asking Edwards of the use on the incomplete quote?

Why? Why? Why?

Is John afraid of confronting Ann? Why did Chris Matthews, who interrupts everyone and never lets them answer, allow Mrs. Edwards to make the accusation without questioning the context?

Oh that's right, Matthews, Maher, and the Edwards are democrats........ Coulter is an evil Republican ......... I almost forgot.
