Juxtapose DC 9-11 into the liberal reviews on Seabiscuit:

Seabiscuit [DC 9-11] is a proudly cornball sentimental epic—a reverential paean to a vanished America that's steeped in inspirational uplift and played for world-historical pathos. - The Village Voice

or

To make Seabiscuit [DC 9-11] into a parable about a nation’s recovery and survival in hard times only deceives people about American society and history. In the end, such an effort is meant, rather flimsily, to “keep hope alive,” at a time when serious doubts about the viability of the present set-up are forming in many minds.- World Socialist Web Site

Just another Brick in the Wall.

Why shouldn't it be pro-Bush? He was a hero of 911.

The lefties always swim in a bottomless cistern of rancor for Americans and hatred for America.

At least one of these reviewers had the presence of mind to be named Mark Jurkowitz.

From what I understand it sure wasn't Praimary Colors, or the West Wing.

Imagine the fawning reviews if Algore or the Toons were in the White House on that dreadful day. Of course, we would probably have surrendered by now, but imagine the reviews! /sarcasm

The casting was great and the story was fine.  The left is just pi--ed as they can be that Clinton didn't turn out to be a guy who could bite his lip and look presidential during this terrible period in our history.

I think I summed this up quite well a few months back.  Here's that graphic

Envy and Pride...

Screw the left.  What do they know.

Funny thing is, the actor who portrays Bush in the movie is none other than Timothy Bottoms, who portrayed Bush in a comedic vein in "That's My Bush."

It's ridiculous to think you can get anywhere near an accurate picture after a mere two years,

Gee, they must have really had fits when Bob Woodward put out a book about it less than a year.

Oh wait, what am I thinking. Woodward's a liberal icon. Never mind.

Never heard these same naysayers ridiculing West Wing or Wag the Dog or that other movie starring Travolta that was pro-Clintoon. Dismiss the lot of them for their RAT biasness.

I really wanted to see it. I don't pay for Showtime, so I guess I don't get to. The other one I'm looking forward to is "The Passion", which I would see just because I want to hear Aramaic spoken. I had nightmares about the little three second clip I saw.

These same nutjobs will praise Michael Moore's 9/11 "documentary."

This is a good example of the leftist mentality at work. The truth about 9-11 must not be told, because the left are largely to blame for 9-11 in the first place!

When Bush announces he will give a speech to the nation from the White House and aides try to talk him into seeking a safer location, Bush bellows, "If some tinhorn terrorist wants me, tell him to come on over and get me. I'll be home!" Bush repeatedly demands he be taken to the White House as Air Force One flies aimlessly about on that horrible September day: "I've got to get back to Washington because I'm not going to let those people keep me from getting home," he barks. And earlier: "Get me home!...The American people want to know where their damn president is." And still earlier: "People can't have an AWOL President!"

Umm, I thought this was part of the historical record. Sounds like the scriptwriter was trying to be...accurate? Well I guess if you're a lib editorial writer, that would present a problem.

I watched it and they're right, it was pro-Bush! I love that it riles all these commies scribes conrolling the American press.

Alessandra Stanley of the New York Times insisted the movie delivered "a sour, partisan undertone."

And if anyone knows about sour partisan undertones, it is the New York times.
