The MSM's Clinton worship in full-blast mode.

4 million more people watched "Path to 9/11" and the CBS 9/11 show (both running at the same time as the ballgame) than watched the ballgame. 4 million more Americans cared about 9/11 than the "Manning Show". Just to put this liberal tripe into perspective.

I hope that the author Ruth does not have boney knees. They are going to hurt kneeling like she does, bowing before the "alter" of klintoon. This author is a real "lewinsky".

Does the Bush administration ever weigh in on anything? All the idiotic Bush bashing almost never gets any comment from them, and yet heres the histionic Pravda Post beating a dead (day old) horse. Sickening.

I wish someone would swing a deal with the people across the street from the Washington Post. I'd like to see a 100x500 foot sign that said, "F U Washington Post."

"the most flagrantly dishonest scenes: Bill Clinton's national security adviser Sandy Berger slamming down the phone on a fictional CIA operative pleading for permission to attack Osama bin Laden in the spring of 1998"

Umm...How is this exactly dishonest? IIRC, in Lt. Col. Patterson's fine book "Dereliction of Duty: The Eyewitness Account of How Bill Clinton Compromised America's National Security" this actually happened (maybe not in that exact way, but the opportunity to squish UBL was rejected). So, I guess Ruth's calling more people liars than the writers of "The Path to 9/11."

IMHO, the only glaring problem with the movie was that Richard Clarke was portrayed as some sort of goody goody superman.

Last week, the Democrat, liberal scum and vermin raved about Katie Couric getting 13 million viewers on her first show. Now 13 million is nothing. Fact is, that French documentary about NYC firefighters was very good, and this was it s third showing. So, couple the 13M for ABC and 10M for CBS, and lots of folks were watching. Now that Katie's viewership has dropped into the toilet, no words from the MSM. The truth opts, and Bill Clinton is more and more becoming known as the enabler of 911, and the murderer of American innocents and military personnel.

The important thing is that the movie was aired and seen by 13 million people. I would bet that people who are more inclined to tune in to a 9/11 movie than a football game are also more inclined to vote. Personally, I am truly enjoying watching the scumbags of the left - - including this pig "Ruth Marcus" - - gnash their teeth.

The movie aired, and it was devastating to Clinton and the rats because it was a truthful, well-documented dramatization of the incompetence, cowardice, and selfishness of the Clinton Admasturbation which enabled the slaughter of 3,000 people.

This, unfortunately, is not true. Middle-roaders seem always focused on the refutations of specific details--where the ABC film was sloppy--and they conclude the whole thing was false.

It was a sloppy work and a waste of $40 million. ABC hasn't recovered the cost from ads, and never will.

Ruth Marcus attempts to tie Harvey Mansfield's new book, Manliness, to the liberal lament about the Bush Administration, arguing "What this country could use is a little less manliness -- and a little more of what you would describe as womanly qualities: restraint, introspection, a desire for consensus, maybe even a touch of self-doubt."

And keep in mind that was the absolute best photo out of probably many dozens taken from her, and she still looks like a half-baked idiot.

I am not saying the Disney/ABC effort was perfect. Far from it. But, if you combine that project with the many other documentaries and films made about 911 (United 93, World Trade Center, etc.) it kindles food for thought. Slowly the American people are learning the nitty griddy details. There is much more to come, and I can assure you Bill Clinton is not going to look good at all at the end of the day. The real truth always opts, sooner or later. The proof in the pudding is that Bob Iger the Disney CEO has basically told the Democrat Party, Bill Clinton and the Clintonites to take a hike. That means one of America's major Democrat, Jewish power brokers has come to the conclusion that Bill Clinton is passe. I think he is right. Time will tell.

That's what I was saying last week. Bill Clinton is so "yesterday" these days. He doesn't have the brainpower to shut the hell up and get off the public stage.

What, in particular, was "sloppy?"
