Clinton's Sex Life is the Star in the ABC 9/11 Movie....

[leftchick]

The E&P does a good job of previewing this piece of shit movie. The RW hack job writer has a pre-occupation with Bill Clinton's penis. What a shock...

Most of the first half, to be aired Sunday, explores the terrorist threat starting with the 1993 bombing at the World Trade Center, and there is little question that President Clinton is dealt with severely, almost mockingly, with the Lewinsky scandal closely tied to his failure to cripple al-Qaeda.

It ends with a long segment on the day of the attacks and top officials' response -- though we only see President Bush in his speech to the nation, not in the Florida classroom with "The Pet Goat."

Someone then says that for this administration terrorism is nothing but "a law and order problem.” Right away comes a quick cut to Clinton making his famous statement about not having sexual relations with Lewinsky. Clarke tells O’Neill that Clinton won’t give the order to get bin Laden in this climate, with Republicans calling for his impeachment.

At that point, the phone signal dies from Afghanistan – or Berger hangs up, it’s hard to tell -- and the operatives abroad pack up and leave. Massoud asks if they are “all cowards in Washington.” Again there is an immediate cut to Clinton, parsing his sexual terms in his taped testimony on the Lewinsky case – and then a clip of him hugging Monica. (The New York Times story today -- see below-- notes that Clarke disputes much of this scenario.)

A little later in the film, the U.S. embassy in Nairobi is attacked, with many deaths. A CIA agent in tears yells at Tenet, saying he should have ordered the killing of bin Laden when they had the chance. O’Neill to Clarke: “Clinton has to do SOMETHING.”

1. Well, Clinton isn't President any more.

And wasn't on 9/11/2001.

I hope this backfires in their face like a big fat trick cigar.

2. Media whores seem willing to do whatever it takes to distract the public

from real issues and the truth for the truth would set this Republic free from the stranglehold of this vast RW PNAC corporatist conspiracy which has been gutting our Constitution and looting the treasury for the benefit of a precious few at the expense of the many.

3. So The Lewinsky Scandal is all Clinton's fault?

The last I checked, there was a whole bunch of Republicans (The majority) with a blow job fetish that seemed to be just as concerned with Bill's genitalia. They made a circus show out of this, not Clinton.

4. Well, no shock there.

5. How about showing Fahrenheit 9/11 or American Blackout, ABC?

Because you have no freaking guts to challenge the people in power in a bold way. In fact Disney/ABC benefits hugely from this right wing bonanza of war and republican rule. Idiotic corporate television.
