I actually think it’s a good article. I saw ZDT, and thought it was good. Won’t watch Lincoln though.

The Oscar for Best Fabrication still goes to the current (mis-)Administration.

Open letter to:

Mo,

Nice try, but this film is not revisionist history.

“Argo” is based on a true story as it so states. We know that the chase scene might not be true and whether someone was married or not could be a fabrication. We know that Jimmy Carter, the Inept, did not play into the rescue and that, under his watch, 444 days of captivity were suffered by all involved, even us, who had much more regard for embassy staffs in those days (even Carter did, doesn’t now) than they do now under the tuteledge of people like you, in the media, RINOs the GOPe and BO.

“Argo” is a story of decent people behaving in orderly fashion and succeeding with dignity under circumstances so dire that heroism was the only acceptable orderly fashion.

Ben Affleck starts the film by placing blame on the American govt past. He ignores Reagan completely and exalts Jimmy Carter as much as possible and that is all acceptable though annoying, as I can have a disagreement with Mr. Affleck and still admire and enthusiastically admire him for putting this story down for the record and doing it with such decency that audiences love it.

I saw it last night. It’s been out for six weeks. The theater was standing room only. What other films command that attention?

It was a liberal crowd in an artsy theater. BO’s portrait is in the lobby - don’t know why, he’s not campaigning.

The crowd was silent. Laughing only slightly at the amusing parts.

It’s the decency that gets you, Mo. It shows.

Try being honest. Try going after Dan Brown and his revisionist history. It’s more egregious than a jeep on the tarmac in the wrong place and it doesn’t even place itself in the fiction category, save the small print on the publisher’s page.

You’d have more credibility, at least SOME.
