Bill Clinton just kicked it up a notch.
If you haven’t done so already, tell ABC how you feel about the factually and incontrovertibly inaccurate content of their upcoming “special” on 9/11.
UPDATE: From Think Progress:
James Bamford, an author and journalist who has written about security issues, appeared on MSNBC to discuss “The Path to 9/11.” Bamford revealed that an FBI agent who worked as a consultant to the film quit halfway through production of the mini-series because he believed the writers and producers were “making things up.”
UPDATE II: Open Letter To ABC is a new blog that is consolidating all the info on this fiasco. Check it out.
UPDATE III: Oy. The Families of September 11 have also weighed in. Paging Ann Coulter!!
How long will it be before Bush loyalists declare that all this is proof that the mockumentary has “hit a nerve,” that Clinton has “something to hide,” and that “liberals are shutting off free speech.”
- UPDATE III-b: Rose responds, like clockwork, and demonstrates that she sees no difference between a “documentary” and a “dramatization,” because, after all, she watched them both on her TV set.
Shame on you, don’t you know that it’s not proper to conflate the Esmay’s with each other?
I guess because only one of them truly believe the drivel they write and the other likes to play “poke the liberal.”
It was weird. Last night on Huff-Post, I saw someone give Clinton hell for not speaking out — if he doesn’t stand up for his legacy, why should we — or stuff to that effect.
Within an hour the reports of Clinton’s speech were on the web, and the chastizing post was gone.
Now many would chalk this up to interestingly coincidental timing. I think it just proves that Arriana rules our domain.
I don’t imagine Rose cares whether or not I take anything she says seriously; and, in fact, I do not take any of it seriously.
Of course, I don’t take anything Jon Stewart says seriously either; but Stewart, at least, makes a point most of the time.
And, as a comedy professional, I’ll bet Stewart knows you don’t need an IQ of 217 to do that.
“I guess because only one of them truly believe the drivel they write and the other likes to play ‘poke the liberal.’”
Well, pretty obvious which one takes himself too seriously so I’m intrigued by your characterization. Tell me more about this game you speak of.
Lol Shep
