You forgot to use the sarcasm tags.

I didn't forget, I felt it to be unnecessary with such a post.

Are you sure the re-edit isn't Carl Rove coming in a second ninja suit to stop Clinton from killing Bin Laden, knowing that he'd need that issue to get Bush re-elected just in case he wasn't able to get his hurricane machine up and running to suppress the vote?

The RATS understand perfectly well that if the American "swing voters" ever learn the truth, they may never win another election.

Has anybody heard what exactly was edited? How much is "minor"? Any guesses?

I had an idea this was going to happen last weekend when they pulled the trailer from the ABC Path To 911 website and only kept the interviews of the actors in the segment "Where Were You On 911"?

It also highlights a LONG STANDING pattern of Democrat behavior (ala Carter refusing to take care of business and leaving problems for later Presidents to solve). Impressive when you suck so bad that your mess is being cleaned up 4 Presidents later.

Not even the Clintonistas can spin that.

You should give the "evil doers" more credit than that.

After all the "spin" worked time and time again for them in the past.

The movie should be entitled, The Emperor Willard Has No Clothes. If you remember Joe Eszterhas wrote a book that blamed most of Clinton's problems on the evil Willard, the name that Slick Willy gave to his most private of members. Well clearly Willard got Clinton into so much trouble that he was unable to defend the country and capture or kill Bin Laden. So it is all obvious that Emperor Willard has no clothes.

pj, what I have often thought about was how Clinton would not allow President Bush's transition team the access to begin getting their people lined up until after the House did the final count on the Electoral College.

I wonder if that could have made a difference in this whole thing.

Bottom LIne: I just cant for the life of me envision anyone at ABC ever ever ever giving the Republicans a break. It just is not in their DNA makeup.

I'm with you and Mr Moonlight. RAT all the way.

No matter how it comes out, it's only a movie!

Get a grip everyone.

If a federal worker did what Senator Reid did, he would be severely reprimanded or possibly fired for official abuse. Senator Reid can criticize the movie, but he cannot evoke ABC broadcast license and indirectly link it to what he wants from ABC. If Dems can revoke a license for "right wing political propaganda" then the GOP can argue that MSM can have their license revoked for "jihadist propaganda" when covering the war in Iraq and WOT.

"its like making a movie about Pearl Harbor, without showing the japanese flying the planes. just a "minor edit" mind you."

To really sell the irony requires noting the producers of "Pearl Harbor" did indeed edit from every frame the omnipresent cigarette smoking of the period.

You are probably right.

I fear that after all this publicity, the film will be analyzed, dissected, resected ad-nauseum, and the public will wind up more confused than they are now.

Then there will be History channel remakes, Discovery channel remakes, PBS remakes--and the slightest flaws will obscure the main truths.

"so that Bill can be persecuted in the House impeachment hearings by Henry Hyde (Carrol O'Connor.)"

A digitized CO'C, however, since Carroll departed this Earth several years ago.

"I hope the opening scene shows a bunch of senators in a smoke-filled room scheming to block the movie."

Or, leave the film as is, and have that (scheming senators) be one of the closing scenes of the movie- Also show Sandy Berger stuffing documents down his pants and socks, trying to steal them from the National Archives- End it with Harry Reid's threat to yank ABC's license.

This sort of "edit" would make the film a masterpiece.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who warned that telecasting "right-wing political propaganda" might violate the terms of ABC's government-mandated broadcast license.

The hubris of that Dimbulb nit-wit desert rat is astounding.
