Clinton Demands ABC Fix 9/11 Movie or Pull It (just delicious)
News Max ^ | Stember 7, 2006 | Staff

An angry Bill Clinton is demanding that ABC "correct all errors” in its upcoming miniseries "The Path to 9/11” — or pull it from the air.

In a letter to ABC boss Bob Iger, Clinton refuted several of the miniseries’ assertions, including that he was too preoccupied with the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal to care about Osama bin Laden.

"The content of this drama is factually and incontrovertibly inaccurate and ABC has the duty to fully correct all errors or pull the drama entirely,” reads the letter, written by Bruce Lindsey, head of the Clinton Foundation, and Douglas Bond, a top lawyer in Clinton’s office.

The letter — obtained by the New York Post — also charges that the miniseries is a "fictitious rewriting of history.”

Clinton aides have seen only a trailer from the six-hour miniseries, which airs on Sept. 10 and 11, the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. They have also received reports from political allies who have seen it.

Clinton’s office requested a copy of the docudrama, but the request was denied, Clinton spokesman Jay Carson told the Web site TPMCafe.com.

In one scene from the miniseries, an FBI agent and a CIA operative complain about red tape frustrating their attempts to pursue terrorists, according to a front-page story in the Post that refers to Clinton as "Bungle Bubba.”

The movie then cuts to a close-up of Clinton maintaining that he did "not have sex with that woman” — Monica Lewinsky — insinuating that the Lewinsky scandal was distracting him from the bin Laden threat.

Clinton’s letter notes that the 9/11 Commission’s report concluded that he was "deeply concerned” about bin Laden. In another scene, then-National Security Adviser Sandy Berger — played by Kevin Dunn — denies authorization to CIA agents about to capture bin Laden in Afghanistan.

I hope Iger tells Clinton: "The media made you, you bargain-store WC Fields, and we can break you too."

What's hilarious is that many of his toadies blame Monicagate for Clinton not doing anything about bin Laden. So now the Clintonistas are trying to have it both ways.

Hmmm. Sounds like the Democrats need to produce evidence that the assertions made in the program are NOT true.

I see the Clinton "If it exposes a Clinton, mob it, attack it, slander it, smear it, misrepresent it and ultimately destroy it" machine is back in business.

I would be willing to bet Bill wins this battle. He has too many allies in the media.

Rush just made a funny comment:

"(Clinton), if you really want this movie not to air, send Sandy Burglar to steal the movie."

I bet ABC folds.   I have no confidence in their ability to withstand this attack on their lefty bona fides.

Insert locker-room joke here.

I don't know which is more damning: not having the gravitas to address a national crisis; or admitting that he was too pre-occupied with the fallout of his diddling an intern to carry out his duties as president.

These folks have no shame at all.

This is TOO rich! Of all people, the former Mr. No-Pants President calling someone to account for what they do. Ha!

Maybe he would like to 'correct all errors' in the account of his 'activities' in the WH.
