If the Toons can do this when Bubba is no longer POTUS, it makes one wonder what they could get away with if Hillie is elected to the WH.
This Associated Press report itself is filled with mistakes.
What a dumbass. But what do you expect from someone who was willing to be on the same commission with Jamie Gorelick?
The scene between Clarke and O'Neill may have been fictional, but the content of the scene was authentic.
Clinton was disengaged due to Monicagate. No one can deny that.
Good retort.
It is showing over here, in the UK, also.
I am trying to work out from the comments which version we are seeing. Whether it is the edited version or not.
I thought the first instalment was well put together and did not appear to pull too many punches. I am looking forward to the second.
We definitely got the 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman' at one point in the background from Billy boy.

Here they are! The video clips from the ABC mini-series The Path to 9-11 that Bill Clinton and the Democrats did not want you to see!
"If people blame Bill Clinton after seeing this, then the miniseries has failed," said Kean, the former Republican New Jersey governor. "That's wrong and it shouldn't happen."
IF PEOPLE WATCH THIS MOVIE AND COME AWAY NOT BLAMING klintoon for everything leading up to 9/11, they would be delusional or dim/al qaeda operatives!

bumparoo
Forget the blame for a second. If any American watching this movie comes away with the realization that the terrorists are at war with us and have been for a long time, I will be satisfied.
The cut regarding the conversation in the car that the Republicans were pushing impeachment, etc. seems to me to be better for Clinton than what they replaced it with! The former could be interpreted as putting a lot of blame on Republicans, but the edited version makes just Clinton look "pathetic".
The editing was still very minor.
I don't really give a flip that the Monica stuff was cut out.
They still left in the most offending part of the Monica stuff, cutting to Clinton waving his finger.
And Berger, while not hanging up, still comes off very badly. He still ends up rejecting the call to go after Bin Laden because he thinks he needs Clinton to approve it. So, he ultimately turns down the chance to get him.
Albright's scene where she says she let the govt. know about the attempt was left in as well.
This report is a bit off. It was the head of the Northern Alliance that said, 'Are there any men left in Washington, or are they all cowards?', not the Wahlburg character.
Told ya!
The mini-series fails to show Osama telling the world that Clinton's pullout from Somalia showed we didn't have the courage to oppose him!
I think in the long run the version that ran with edits may be more damning to Clinton than the original. It's like a sex scene in a 1950's era movie--there's a hint of what is going on but the down dirty part of it is left to the viewers' imagination (unlike today's movies that let it all hang out). With all the press on how the movie as aired was edited to make Clinton and cohorts look better, the general public will be wondering what was left on the cutting room floor, and their imaginations will be left to wander. Willa Cather called it "the thing not spoken", and opined that the best writers give only a hint and leave the rest to the audience.
I put this timeline together from different named sources and posted it on FR before but I am posting it again in this thread, because I have gotten good feedback from it.
