Kean Hasn’t Talked To Clinton About Path to 9/11 Because ‘He Was Out Campaigning Against My Son Yesterday

Kean Hasn’t Talked To Clinton About Path to 9/11 Because ‘He Was Out Campaigning Against My Son Yesterday’
Tom Kean, former co-chair of the 9/11 Commission, is under fire for his association with ABC’s Path to 9/11. Kean dug in and defended the docudrama, which ABC marketed as “based on the 9/11 Commission Report,” as “reasonably accurate.” Now, Kean has acknowledged that the movie has errors and ABC is reportedly considering edits.

Yesterday, the New York Daily News asked Kean if he’d contacted Bill Clinton:

Asked if he had apologized to Clinton for inaccuracies in the movie, Kean quipped, “No, he was out campaigning against my son yesterday, so I didn’t reach out to him at all!”

Kean’s son is a GOP Senate candidate in New Jersey.

As 9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said yesterday, 9/11 is “is a story that’s of great importance to every single American.” It’s not a political game.

28. Like father like son with minority vote suppression in NJ? Just asking.

Keane Jr is running against a Hispanic-surname Democrat. Is he courting the caucasian vote in NJ and trying to keep the Hispanic vote down ? If so, his father's recent unscrupulous behavior on the 9-11 Commission provides a unique opportunity to associate the father's politics with the son's.

Keane Sr's willingness to put scruples aside at election time is legendary but largely forgotten. I was shocked when I first heard that Keane Sr. had been elevated to head a supposedly nonpartisan panel of such importance. Whenever Republicans engage in minority vote suppression, they're violating a consent decree settling a civil rights lawsuit against Keane's 1981 STORMTROOPER election tactics in New Jersey. Tom Keane will do ANYTHING to win an election.

Before his PT911 lapses, Keane had managed to cultivate a popular, squeaky-clean image, with his sordid past far behind him. But yesterday at the national Press Club, 9-11 Commission Co-Chair Lee Hamilton, no far leftist, started to take some of the shine off Keane Sr. (see http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2115808 ).

From http://www.democrats.com/node/59 :

"Voting suit revisits intimidation claims--Letters targeting Ohio minorities said to violate settlement after Kean-Florio race in'81;

Monday, November 01, 2004 BY ROBERT SCHWANEBERG, (Newark) Star-Ledger Staff

Armed guards wearing armbands patrolled polling places. Signs warned of criminal penalties for voting illegally. Hundreds of thousands of letters returned as undeliverable were used to compile a list of voters to be challenged at the polls....

It was 1981, during one of the closest elections in New Jersey history -- one that wasn't decided until a recount that dragged on nearly a month found Republican Tom Kean had defeated Democrat Jim Florio for governor by less than 2,000 votes.

State and county prosecutors launched probes into voter intimidation. Furious Democrats filed a $10 million federal lawsuit accusing the Republican state and national committees of depriving minorities of their constitutional right to vote. But the criminal probes went nowhere and the lawsuit was settled a year later for $1. The Republicans admitted no wrongdoing, but signed a promise never to target minority voters for special treatment -- anywhere in the nation...."
