WASHINGTON POST ^ | September 06, 2006 | NA

WASHINGTON - Top officials of the Clinton administration have launched a pre-emptive strike against an ABC "docudrama," slated to air Sunday and Monday, that they say includes made-up scenes depicting them as undermining attempts to kill Osama bin Laden.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright called one scene involving her "false and defamatory." Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger said the film "flagrantly misrepresents my personal actions." Former White House aide Bruce Lindsey, who now heads the William J. Clinton Foundation, said: "It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known."

Just to remind all of one tactic employed by Team Clinton over the black years they held the seats of power -- a variation of front-running, of stage managing expectations -- they would trumpet negatives and raise flack PRIOR to some staged play or report that supposedly made them look really really bad. When the event took place or the report was released, the Clintonistas didn't look as bad as the front-ruuning clamor had let on, so that the public's final impression was "What was all the uproar? That wasn't so bad."

The truth really smarts when it hits the Demmies.

If Berger and Albright are denouncing it, then ABC has probably done a reasonably accurate job. I wasn't planning to watch it as I assumed anything coming from the lamestream media would be a Clinton whitewash or worse.

However, I think I'll tune in now as I may learn something.

Wonder how 'convicted felon' slipped off that title? Besides, they had him wearing tighty whities and everyone knows that boxers are far more roomy.

"It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known."

It's no more unconscionable than Bubba freely giving away hummers in the Oral Oriface. Doing nothing after the Khobar Towers, doing nothing after the USS Cole attack, and doing nothing but slap handcuffs on a vicious blind sheik after WTC 1993, or wagging your crooked finger in our collective faces and lying through your stupid teeth.

The Clintonista are TERRIFIED that the FACTS will be presented to the average sheeple in a way they will actually pay attention to....

In a Made-for-TV Movie...

For the Administration that let the topic of the CBS Movie Of The Week drive policy, this is a nightmare.....

I remember reading in the WaPo, the Senators all came out all smiles and slapping each other on the back.

Keep talking, Bill.

The ratings will go through the roof.

After all the furor from the left, this has become must-see TV for me.

This will be the first time I've watched network TV in a long, long time.

Exactly. Commercial free, without being hassled by greasy long-haired liberals in the movie theater.
