I'm curious about "Path to 9/11" tonight...
...because we've heard basically NOTHING about how Junior is portrayed. Much
of the controversy surrounding the mini-series centered about the lies about
Clinton, Albright, Berger, etc.

I don't hear Junior and his thugs complaining, so it will be interesting to
see if the get the "star treatment."

It will be interesting to see how these clowns handle:
--The August 01 PDB that was essentially ignored
--Bush's absence (and failure to return to DC) several hours after the planes hit.
--Intelligence about Middle-Eastern men in flight school, who had no interest landing/taking off
--Clinton warning Junior about terrorism/Bin laden when he left office.
--Bush's lack of response to the bombing of the USS Cole.
--Bin Laden escaping in Tora Bora due to lack of soldiers.

I assume--from the political bent of the producers--that Junior will be given a pass.
However, I'd like to see how they handle these things.

I feel guilty watching this trash, but I want to know how this is handled. My husband has
also informed me that our Tivo/cable connection is not hooked into our phone line. Therefore
the cable company does not know what we Tivo or what we watch. So...our household viewing isn't
helping their ratings.

1. Per the report This morning from a DUer in NZ
it sounded like it was Bush's turn in the barrel tonight.

2. I'm surprised I sat through that dreck last night.
I also want to see how they portray the bush administration. Since we haven't heard much about it, I assume that it's not that critical of them.

3. I don't know if that's a fair assumption
It could castigate them and that wouldn't hurt the Republicans that much. Because the whole point to the 9/11 story is that Bush "learned the lessons" of 9/11. He figured out that this Plan for a New American Century was exactly the right way to deal with terrorism. So it doesn't hurt them the same way it hurts us.

4. I Don't Need To Taste Garbage To Know It's Garbage
Garbage with Hot Fudge Topping, is still GARBAGE beneath the surface. I don't need to spend 2 hours watching it and that CRAP network, to know that.

5. Thank you! That's the best line for the somewhat nonsensical
questions I get from my only 'publican friend.

"I don't need to taste garbage to know it's garbage."

Eminently quotable. :)

6. I'm passing tonight. I wasted more time on it last night than I should
have. Regret not seeing the CBS 9/11 show.

I heard Randi say only 8 million watched it. I'll hear about it on AAR on Tuesday.
