I couldn't resist reposting this, along with my version of the story they will likely follow. Here goes.

First. they have the fake West Wing president return immediately, with him lecturing his secret service detail that he must accept the risk of returning, the American people demand it! When he learns that Bin Laden is behind the bombing, he then insists on personally going to Afghanistan to hunt him down. When he finds him, Osama and his men threaten the fake President, who, unflapped, tells Osama that "we must not fight, but love each other." Osama then breaks down, and says he's very sorry, and explains that he had an entirely different view of Americans, which he thought were made up of only nasty Republicans, having never met a Democrat (like the fake President). At that point, the fake President and Osama and his men hold hands, and begin singing We are the world - We are the children. The camera pans the world, fading in various world figures, including Saddam, Kadaffi, Arafat, all singing in their respective tongues. The world is now safe.

How'd you get a copy of the script? You an insider or sumpin'?

In the "West Wing" version, President Jeb (Martin Sheen) Bartlett delivers exactly the same speech that Presdent Bush did to Congress. However, in the West Wing version, Senator Hillary is shown to be ENTHUSIASTICALLY applauding the President.

p.s. One other difference. The "West Wing" President sends out a certain TV producer to Afghanistan to negotiate with the Taliban and the negotiatons conclude with the producer scoring some Coke, which the producer brings back to the States hidden in a bag of magic mushrooms.

I see a future for you in Hollywood scriptwriting. You understand the mission.

I'm sure the fake president will only stay in DC long enough to reassure the country before he heads to NYC to personally rescue several hundred firefighters and cops.

Pass the mushrooms, I'm on a roll.

[TC Rider]

Did I mention that during the actual highjackings that the fake president called his old friend Jeremy Glick on the Pennsylvania plane and urged him to fight back?

Hey, don't bogart that joint.

We never watched this show before the attack and we won't watch it now.

We don't care for Martin Sheen as a person or as an actor.

Good One! You did however, forget that the FAKE President will arrive at the WTC in time to hold up a wall to prevent them from collapsing. And the FAKE President will have bits and pieces of intelligence data from all over the globe that he will personally catalog and codify so as to put the whole scheme together and see the big picture when no one else can. But they'll still kill off Barbara Olson . . . .

Passenger smuggles psychedelic mushrooms aboard airliner bound from NY to LA. In a mix up, stewardess acidentally feeds them to the captian and co-pilot. Delirious, the crew diverts the plane to Atlanta and tried to land it atop the CNN building...

Can't we all just get along....well actually NO! some people insist on being murders, the only way to deal with them is to revoke their breathing privliges.

Or maybe Sheen goes up the river to "terminate with extreme prejudice" the wily Bin Laden, who is played by a bald Marlon Brando looking like Uncle Fester.

Details of the story were not released, but the network said it will deal with "some of the questions and issues currently facing the world in the wake" of the Sept. 11 attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center.

A number of years ago I was present when a woman, who I was seeing at the time, made a comment that chilled me. An episode of a television series involving the interactions of a group of people in a work environment was showing. At one point she clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Ok! They're going to deal with abortion!"

Deal with? Who? What are their qualifications? "Deal with" implies the final word on the topic. "They" are not just offering their opinion about the subject, "they're" "dealing with" it.

What arrogance. And what danger, when people think about it in those terms, too.

I call this "Opportunist Marketing" and part-time (Sunshine) patriotism.

I hope the scriptwriter doesn't leave out the lip biting. It wouldn't be real without that. (/sarcasm)

tells Osama that "we must not fight, but love each other."

I was thinking the same thing: this whole mess will be solved through diplomatic means and the two sides learning that they are all the same underneath it all. Not an additional drop of blood will be spilled. What a socialist wet dream!

[Libloather]

...an important hour of television...

Historic. Could be a first...
