Good post, FRiend, so let's play, "Stop The Tape!" a little:

(Bush) is, to put it in Hollywood terms, part John Wayne and part Gary Cooper, with a little Jimmy Stewart tossed in for good measure.

Funny, but in Hollywood terms, he's an idiot, a fictitious President, a f___ing idiot, and other words we don't care to hear.

It's notable, though, to see GWB compared to the heroes of old, instead of the contemptible spoiled crowd of Socialists we have today.

(But George Takei as Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta? He'll always be Sulu from "Star Trek."

No arguement here.

One also can't discount the emotional power of some of the indelible moments from those days. Even in a film this worshipful, the depiction of Bush's first trip to visit the survivors and rescuers at ground zero in New York will bring a lump to your throat.

Oh, I don't know, the media and Hollywood are certainly TRYING to discount 9/11 from any meaning whatsoever!

Lump to your throat? Not me. Raw anger is all I still feel.

But the biggest problem facing "DC 9/11" is that the effort feels stale. -SNIP - ...a shiny post-mortem of the days following Sept. 11 feels dated and darn near irrelevant.

Only to people like YOU LEFTISTS in the media, Mr. Jerkowitz.

...Secretary of State Colin Powell (portrayed here as a squishy multilateralist)...

Again, can't argue with the factual portrayal of things...

In light of all that's happened since the towers fell in New York, maybe that could have been the opening scene of a much more interesting film.

More interesting, but less true to the facts of life, now that the sheeple have had their wake-up call, and with you Leftists in America trying to rub their collective tummies and trying to put them all back to sleep.

stupid and cowboy come to mind.

Glad to see the cowboy title is right on the mark - comparing Bush to John Wayne and Gary Cooper.
