Have your cake and eat it too.
It is obvious the GOP have not heard the saying “You can’t have your cake and eat it too”, or maybe they have, and like all rules of decency and honesty they completely disregard it.
Sometimes during the next few days, a two-part five hour miniseries will be shown nationally by ABC – a network owned by ultra-conservative Disney – which will depict that the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon could have been prevented if not for the incompetence of the Clinton administration. From what I read – I have no other way of verifying its authenticity – this film is inundate with inaccuracies; letters of protest and request for corrections have come from the Clinton’s administration members which are portrayed as, well, incompetent idiots. It is not surprising to find out that this film was written and produced by a guy named Cyrus Nowrasteh , and directed by David Cunningham, both of them have close ties to evangelical organizations; the latter is the son of the founder of Youth With A Mission (YWAM), the former has ties to Liberty Film Festival (LFF) which has as a partner David Horowitz a right wing activist of immense proportions. The political consultant for this film was Tom Kean, the Republican chairman of the 9/11 commission, a man with apparently questionable morals, since, he admits afterwards that there are errors in the film – Were his “political consultant” views ignored? Did he sleep while the smears were being filmed? 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!" - his son is running for Senate as a GOP from New Jersey.
Assume that the uproar is unfounded, the errors are minor, and the truth is that the Clinton Administration did nothing with the information. Couple that with the fact that Bush took over power of the administration eight months before the 2001 attacks. Then the question that must be asked: Why didn’t the Bush administration do anything to prevent these attacks? They had all the information. I guess for some “they are allowed to have the cake and eat it too.”
The smell of foul odor is impregnating my sense of decency. I agree with Senators Schumer of New York and Reid of Nevada when they accuse ABC boss Bob Iger of airing right-wing political propaganda.

Dad, did you watch the mockumentary? I read an editorial in today's Post about it, and now I'm kind of interested to watch, if only for the dramatic acting. Who plays Bill Clinton?
Thanks again for all your help yesterday. Sorry you couldn't stay longer. We LOVE the couch!
If its any consolation, the program did not attract a large audience, and was beaten roundly by Monday Night Football. Still, this Republican funded source of mis-information had 12 million more American viewers than did the actual 9/11 commission report (13.5m vs. 1.5m).
