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.
This is a very interesting power play. If Billyboy's dirty a**wipes strike out against ABC now, then the deal is over and the whole '90's whorehouse may come tumbling down. The media were Clinton's best friends, but they know enough about what went on backstage to be his worst enemies (if they choose.)

Spine chilling that an ex-President has the power to call the shots with a supposedly private television station!
Is there anything this guy wouldn't do to protect himself? After all, he was impeached for committing perjury, wasn't he? Welcome to the Communist North American Union! (The New World Order.)
...trouble is - ABC IS revising it to make Bubba feel better.
It is over folks. The MSM has finished the credibility of this movie in the publics eye. The papers tomorrow will finish the job.
I am so mad I could kill the next person I see with a "Vote Democrat" sticker in his car window.
aw.
The truth hurts, huh ClinToon?
That's SWEET !!!!!!
LOL
All that work that Sandy Berger did, stuffing all those papers in his socks and down his trousers, in an effort to deceive the 9/11 commission, gone to waste.
Never went OUT of business!
Network TV as in broadcast free over the air? I'm not sure but that is a distinction without difference for a vast portion of the listening audience. Each network has one or more cable channels and SeeBS especially has played F-911 on most of their venues. Off hand I don't know what cable channels are Disney (other than ESPN) so let them run it one one of those, as is.
It's always both ways with the Clintons: "vast right wing conspiracy" and "I did not have sex with that woman" (meaning Hillary, of course.
Hey, Sandy, is that an archive in your pocket or are you glad to see me?
" You will find the documents down Sandy's pocket - hay, Sandy, you're walking very strangely".
I just love the smell of Schadenfreude.
The interesting thing was ABC attempted to tell the truth at all.
You need to add Carter to the picture.
