Well, well, well. It's always satisfying to watch the left
get a taste of their own medicine. ABC will soon run a docu-drama about the
years leading up to the 9/11 attacks - much of it throughout the Clinton
Administration. Evidently it's
not so kind to Bubba-in-Chief,
reflecting the job he got from Monica that distracted him from the job he was
elected to do.
The former president is up-in-arms over the mini-series, demanding that ABC
correct the alleged inaccuracies or pull the film from its lineup. Clinton's
lawyers call the movie "fictitious rewriting of history that will be
misinterpreted by millions of Americans."
What about the fictitious rewriting in Fahrenheit 9/11? In Oliver Stone's JFK?
Clinton's lawyers also accuse the drama of "bias."
What about the bias revealed by the deliberate placement of pictures of real
Republican presidents in the fictional offices of every Hollywood corporate
villian since Gordon Gekko?
The major networks are no strangers to broadcasting according to their own
agendas - Rathergate, anyone? - but they may have actually gotten something
right this time. While it's been fun watching Clinton entertain us in his
post-White House years, his current attitude serves as a perfect reminder of
his previous antics.
It's no secret among foreign policy and defense experts that
Clinton dropped the ball on foreign policy. But the American people could use a
refresher course on the prelude to the War on Terror. It's quite possible that
this drama will reveal a lot about a complacent Administration - just not the
same Administration that has been vilified by the left since 9/11.
