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.
My thoughts exactly. Even though you've got rats screaming...there is an underlaying layer to this than is known. So who really hates the 'toons' in the dimwit party....Gore...
"If it makes BJ feel any better, I for one don't think that Lewinsky distracted him from the terror threat at all, because I don't see where he was ever interested in doing anything about terrorism in the first place..."
he is DEMANDING it???
Wow. I guess that he doesn't want any further focus on why he refused to accept Osama when Sudan offerred him to Slick THREE TIMES!!!
They will air it...Fahrenheit runs on Direct TV on the Sundance and IFC channel (549 and 550) all the time. It has been on at least a dozen times in the past year. Sundance belongs to far left Robert Redford..sickening.
Truth hurts.
My legacy! My leeeggaaaccyyyyyy!
Clinton-speak at its finest. LOL!
Let me clarify. I don't think they'll pull it. I think they'll chop it up so Clinton doesn't look bad, then air it and pretend/hope most people don't notice.
The DUmmies are FLOODING the ABC Blog with hate-filled comments...
I mean really...
HOW DARE ABC show a 9/11 movie on the anniversary of 9/11!!
Don't they realize that Democrats have an election to lose, and that's MUCH more important than reminding Americans of WHY we have to fight???
HOW COULD THEY!!!
I remember through the 70s and 80s when even the media had no problem portraying Arafat as the most evil terrorist alive. I never thought we would see the day when this jihadist would be an "honored" guest at the White House and that the POTUS would be forcing an Israeli PM to shake his hand. When I saw this I remember thinking how totally f*cked up BJ's foreign policy was.
This is a scary precedent, because there's nothing to stop a future POTUS from taking the same approach with OBL and "honoring" him at the White House as some sort of "peacemaker."
Bruce Lindsay--Mr. Fiz-it pops his head up again. I wondered where that Clintanoid had slithered off to.
Somebody needs to tell him this is not another bimbo eruption and hence not part of his venue. History re-writing is left to Stephi, and the Drive-By Clintanoid journalists.
If the Dhimms think I should have a "right" to see Fahrenheit 9/11, then as an American, I have a right to see this piece UNCENSORED!
I have put out the word about this series on the top of my blog, and I encourage other bloggers to do the same!
This recent tantrum by Bill Clinton makes him look like a complete A-S-S.......
Bill Clinton is a thin skinned, narcissistic, BABY!
Suck it up, Bill, you putz!
(After listening to the news at the top of the hour, I am ANGRY!)
Regardless, it will dredge up all that is known of Clinton's brunders with the Sudanese, of Mahdi Ibrahim Mohamed's (Sudan's ambassador)repeated attempts to share information, provide unlimited access in Sudan, all of which was refused by Clinton Himself. He even tried going through the back door, through multimillionaire Pakistani-American businessman and fund manager Mansoor Ijaz. a big donor to the Democratic Party, and on personal terms with Clinton, Berger, and A1 Gore.
The bottom line is Clinton dropped the ball, and 9/11 is directly HIS FAULT.
To ABC
Show the Path to 9/11 as is. Do not edit this movie. No editing is needed. You have stated it is not a documentary.
Stand by your guns!
Michael Moore and Al Gore called their movies "documentaries" when THEY should have been classified as fiction or an opinion pieces.
The Clintonistas are out of power now, they can't harm your kids, your children or break your kneecaps. Let them scream bloody murder, all they are doing is giving ABC priceless advertising.
Flood it back with nice comments, pat ABC on the back. That will really get "nice' comments flowing from the loons at DU.
