Well, here's something to take the calm away- predictable as it was..

http://www.drudgereport.com/flash4.htm


NEW YORK TIMES TV critic Alessandra Stanley reviews ABC's upcoming 'The Path to 9/11' in Friday editions, newsroom sources tell DRUDGE.

"'The Path to 9/11' is not a documentary, or even a docu-drama; it is a fictionalized account of what took place. It relies on the report of the Sept. 11 commission, the King James version of all Sept. 11 accounts, as well as other material and memoirs. Some scenes come straight from the writers' imaginations," writes Alessandra .

"Dramatic license was certainly taken, but blame is spread pretty evenly across the board. It's not the inaccuracies of 'The Path to 9/11' that make ABC's miniseries so upsetting. It's the situation on the ground in Afghanistan now."

Alessandra concludes: "Hindsight is heartbreaking and disturbing to watch, even in a made-for-television movie. But it's even harder to take when those steps continue to contaminate the present."

Yes, the Wellstone memorial is the perfect metaphor for Clinton's stupidity.

Read my post, I didn't say no commercials, I said "without commercial interruptions." Of course that doesn't rule out lead-ins and outs. But it would certainly cut down on the number of advertisers involved, wouldn't it?

Is this from Scrappleface... It is, right?

No one would really be this stupid as to openly try to intimidate through the power of their office, would they? This is a get out of jail free card for ABC if it is true... They can yell punishment for exercising 1st Amendment rights any time they are questioned in the future with this in hand...

It boggles the mind... Truly a sign of desperation.

"I'm not 100% sure, but I had read in more than one place that ABC had decided to air the miniseries without commercial interruptions."

That's correct, I just went to ABC's website, in which it is being prominently promo-ed. When you go to ABC.com, you automatically get an audio promo and it says it will be presented without interruptions.

What was the name of those two people who played a regular American couple back when they did that insurance ad when the Clintons were trying to nationalize health care? Was it Harry and Louise?

Anyway, they'd be perfect for that kind of ad. Just a couple of regular Americans, reading about the letter (probably on a website since nobody reads the papers anymore) and shocked about the dems attempting to wipe out the first amendment.

We are on the same page here.

ABC will NOT cave -- too many things that have been in the works for TOO LONG.

The Dims, who think capital is raised by picking proper parents, have NO idea what they are up against.

In a bit of hilariously convoluted logic, a dem operative argued on H&C that it doesn't matter that Clinton passed up bin Laden because Bush let him go at Tora Bora. :)

Oooh, that would be smart. Then show the clip from the movie being released about President Bush being killed and show silence from the WH and Republicans.

Ny Times excerpt...........

Ex-Clinton Officials Slam 9/11 Mini-Series

By JESSE McKINLEY
Published: September 7, 2006

Three members of the Clinton administration have written the chief executive of the Walt Disney Company, ABC’s parent, to complain that the network’s coming two-part miniseries “The Path to 9/11” is fraught with factual errors and fabrications.

One of the officials, former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright, said in her letter to the Disney executive, Robert A. Iger, that although she had requested a copy of the film, ABC had not given her one. But, Ms. Albright said, she has been told by people who have seen it that it “depicts scenes that never happened, events that never took place, decisions that were never made and conversations that never occurred.”

“It asserts as fact things that are not fact,” she wrote.

Others included: Samuel R. Berger, former national security adviser, and Bruce R. Lindsey, a Clinton White House aide now with the Clinton Foundation,

That is demonicRAT logic, all right. Thanks for the tidbit, I cannot abide H&C. Mostly because of "C" but the shouting gives me a headache.

I wonder if there's anyone in their caucus screaming that this is nuts?
