meanwhile his sonny-boy is the puke running against menendez for a senate seat in jersey

how handy would it be for america to see this CRAPumentary and be pissed enuf at the dems that more pukes are elected, including tommy junior?

""The Path to 9/11" is executive-produced by Marc Platt ("Empire Falls"). The producers are Hans Proppe ("Anne Frank") and Cyrus Nowrasteh (also the writer). Governor Thomas H. Kean (Chairman, The 9/11 Commission) is senior consultant. The director is David L. Cunningham. The miniseries is a production of UHP Productions, Ltd., and is distributed by Touchstone Television....Former ABC News anchor John Miller, now the FBI's Assistant Director of Public Affairs, was also a consultant on the project."

"Former GOP Governor Thomas Kean of New Jersey, the chairman of the commission and a consultant to the film, defended it, echoing ABC`s comments that it was a dramatization.

'The scene involving Afghanistan and the attempt to get bin Laden that was thwarted is a composite,' he told reporters in a conference call, adding that many issues about the capture plan were, 'open questions, historically.'

'The basic fact is,' said Kean, 'that on a number of occasions, (CIA operatives) thought they might have been able to get bin Laden, but for any number of reasons the plug was pulled on those operations.'

'They chose to portray it that way,' he said of the scene, adding it could have been portrayed 'any number of ways.'

But Berger`s letter rejects that defense. 'The fabrication of this scene of such apparent magnitude cannot be justified under any reasonable definition of dramatic license... I urge you to revise this and other misleading scenes,' he writes."

1. Kean had no businesses working with the producers of that flick!

Whether it time he donated to them, or whatever the set up was - it still sounds shady and inappropriate!!

2. Kean had no business being the Chairman of the 9/11 Commission. NT

5. The Quid Pro Quo - Here's your Proof

Ex-NJ Governor Tom Kean,who wasn't even the Governor of NJ when 9/11 happened, and whose spawn is running for US Senate against Robert Melendez, was interviewd regarding the ABC Republican propaganda piece: Covering up Lies, Incompetence and Greed of the Republican Party. Wouldn't you know it, but the feces spattered lips of said Tom Keane revealed that he was the consultant and that the writers and directors never failed to address the inacurracies he pointed out. Immediately preceding this section was a bogus Ethics charge regarding Melendez. The Melendez Ethics charge was brought by the Federal Attorney General. The situation under investigation is an old matter that was reviewed and given the green light by the congressional ethics committee. But the whole point of the Disney/ABC not-true and slanderous crapumentary was to give the Republicans a whoppingly partisan, free, 6 hours of time to defecate on the memory and seriousness of 9/11 while infecting millions of school children with their filth.

So, was Tom Keane's appearance on NBC a quid-pro-quo for commenting on the Disney/ABC scandal? Why didn't he answer the question put to him. Sounds like he knew full well that this would be nothing more than a pack of lies to be used by lying, losing Republicans to energize their base and misinform others under the guise of the once documentary. Another matter for Congress to investigate as far as I'm concerned. Oh, and by the way, having lived under Tom Keane for many years, I knew the 9/11 Report would be an orgy of ommission of facts. I no longer am able to believe a single word that any Republican says. But look forward to them using this type of blowback to enhance the blatant and criminal slandering, lying and fictional account of 9/11 to attempt to help their candidates.

I ask myself again, Did anyone say in the aftermath of 9/11, "How many Republicans or Democrats were killed?" Were injured people assisted by medical care providers based on their political party? Yet, one political party, the Republican Party, believes that it is ethical and patriotic to pump up votes for Republicans on the back of a policeman's coffin or the interred fingertip shred of someone's wife.

8. The real reason Kean is doing well

Menendez supports immigrants coming into the country illegally, and Kean doesn't. The majority of Americans in every state want illegal immigration stopped and our borders secured.

Until our Democrats start getting tough and make people come here through the proper channels, voters are going to think the Dems are weak on terror and enforcing the laws.

I'm not arguing the pros and cons of illegals, because what you or I think is beside the point. We've already made up our minds how we're going to vote: Democratic. This is about what the majority of Americans are thinking, and it's affecting how they vote.

That's why the Republicans are pretending to talk tough about illegal immigration, yet they're not taking action on the issue until after the election. They know the anti-illegal sentiment is out there, and they're trying to cash in on it.

Will it work? Well, in the Kean/Menendez race, it seems to be working quite well....

9. I question your statement that Kean is doing well

but agree that Jersey was the most stubborn resister of anti-slavery laws hundreds of years ago, and that they have had a very active KKK movement going on for well over a century. But they are just a little bit smarter than how you characterize them. Suburban sprawl and property taxes are two huge issues in Jersey. They appreciate the good cheap labor that illegal immigrants provide, but don't want to deal with paying for (or believing they are paying for) the social services that are required if you want a cheap labor force that has no recourse to the law or any other type of protection. So, it doesn't surprise me there are still Jerseyans who support slavery/indentured servitude but call it fair distribution of responsibility for taxes that underwrite services.

If Tom Kean Jr. thinks that calling for impractical and expensive solutions to "illegal immigrants" will save Jersey property owners any money or address suburban sprawl, he is truly a moron.

I do agree however, that certain Republicans are grossly disappointed that they will not have punitive Federal laws for unapproved immigration or entry into country passed anytime soon, and that they intend to make it "the" election issue. But immigrants have been pouring into Jersey for hundreds of years. That includes Mexicans and South Americans,etc. These same one issue people overlook that somehow light skinned illegal immigrants like Germans, and Irish and Italian and Polish also continue to pour into Jersey.

Seriously, do they think that trying to remove at least a million people living in the State of New Jersey, some for decades, will work? We can't even get the * administration to clarify, let alone enforce the existing immigration policies. Calling for an end to illegal immigrants may get some people off, but it doesn't solve any problem. And electing a wet earred Senator who has no idea how to negotiate resources for the state would be a huge mistake in many other ways as well.
