Full Frontal Falsehood

Lee Hamilton makes Tom "Fuck 9/11, I want to get my son elected" Kean shrink into his shoes as he lambastes ABC/Disney for their cartoon cum blowjob "docu-drama" propaganda piece on 9/11. My better half and I watched as much of it as we could stomach, and we can tell you that it did verily suck most egregiously, both in its clear partisan pandering and in its shitty dialog and production values. Leni Riefenstahl couldn't have done a worse job.

Oh, and according to ABC/Mickey, Muslims never say anything besides "Allah'hu akbar!"

Dana Milbank - With 9/11 Film, Kean Finds Tough Critic in Hamilton - washingtonpost.com

There have been few political love stories as beautiful as that of Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton, the former chairman and vice chairman of the 9/11 commission.

"I have never worked with anybody I've come to respect more than Lee Hamilton," Republican Kean said at a Sept. 11 fifth-anniversary joint performance with Hamilton yesterday.

"He is one of the preeminent public servants of our day, bar none," came Democrat Hamilton's well-worn reply.

So it packed even more punch when Hamilton, at the National Press Club luncheon, lectured his friend about the falsified Sept. 11 docudrama Kean helped ABC produce.

"It is either a documentary or it is a drama, and to fudge it causes me a great deal of concern and suggests to me that news and entertainment are getting dangerously intertwined," the former congressman from Indiana said of his friend's film. "And I do not think that that is good for the country, because an event of this consequence is very hard to understand, and to distort it or not to present it factually in this kind of a presentation, I think, does not serve the country well."

Kean, the "co-executive producer" of this disservice, stood at Hamilton's side, his hands clasped in front of him, grinning awkwardly.
