What is this Bush's 9/11 memoir or The Wizard of Oz?

[Generic Other]

How many times is he going to say, “Get Me Home. Get me to the place where I can speak to the American people. They need to hear from their President.”

Other ridiculous lowpoints in this made-for-tv dogshit:

Bush giving Cheney orders.
Credible threat to Air Force One
Bush mad he can't address American people.

Starting to sound like Dorothy from Wizard of Oz. "I have to get home. There's no place like home."

Close-up of Bush in the sights of a camera looking like a target while he tells Laura he's glad she's safe. Camera clicks. Bleccch.

Gotta go home...gotta go...gotta go...what is this an Imodium A commercial??

5. A smooching scene between him and Pickles and Barney

aboveground, while the rest of DC hiding in terror in the bunkers.

Bush and Pickles forced to leave their beds in the middle of the night because of incoming false alarm.

Aides run past portrait of introspective JFK (remind us of a real prez. dealing with crisis). Spends the morning lifting weights.

Most of the action so far other than the menage a trois in the night consists of Bush on the phone.

What a hero!!

[PinkTiger]

6. Barney is toto

nt

[BurtWorm]

10. Did they mention that Bush was in bed by 11:00 p.m. on 9-11?

While the rest of us were up worrying? I didn't know skedaddling down rabbit holes was so exhausting.

[robbedvoter]

13. Asleep by 10PM (Finneman's puff piece). They woke them up

after 10:00. It struck me as munumentally indifferent to the rest of the world at the time so I remember.

[Generic Other]

7. "No one can make the decisions but me, Dick

I am the commander-in-chief."

Bush knows all the terrorists' names and can pronounce them. He's familiar with their MO's. Hmmm...

[Generic Other]

9. A new national mandate and a new military doctrine to support it

"Let's look at the big picture." Bush tells Karen. "A faceless enemy. Runs and hides. Need to educate American people properly."

Karl and Ari laughing because people think Cheney in charge. Ari tells Karl people will realize Bush the hero of 9/11.

11. Gack

12. Cheney is not the man behind the curtain!!

His pacemaker was turned off the whole time!

Gephardt says Bush can count on him for anything.

"They hate us. Tinhorn terrorists."

Byrd says "No blank checks." Pulls out copy of Constitution. Slaps Bush across the face repeatedly. (Okay, he didn't slap him, but he should have).

[Generic Other]

14. Why are there NO flag lapel pins?

In his underwear working out...cut to scene in the war room. Oh jeez, right out of Kubrick!

So far, Colin Powell only doing what Harry Belafonte says he does.

Condi has spent a lot of time looking concerned about the price of oil. Also, the fake moles are slipping off the actress's face.

[grasswire]

15. so....

...is Patrick Swayze playing Hughes?

[Generic Other]

16. "The enemy will have flies on their eyeballs"

Who wrote this dreck?? The enemy will have flies on their eyeballs?

YOUR BASES THEY ARE BELONG TO US!

[BigDaddyLove]

28. The writer of this 'dreck'.............

is someone named Lionel Chetwynd, who is a card-carrying member of the GOP and firmly ensconced in Karl Rove's ass.

I heard a bit of an interview with him this evening on "On The Media" on PBS while driving around. He was unapologetic that the "film" was pure propaganda, and seemed to enjoy playing his part in the effort to whitewash the truth of our recent history in order to affirm the image of Oily George as an intelligent and effective leader in charge of competent and altruistic people.

[Generic Other]

17. The French Revolution?

Now he's ordering Cheney into a cave. "You have to leave Dick. We can't afford the possibility of a de-capitation"

[Generic Other]

18. Damn. My husband is in full snore mode drowning out the sound

"Boring...slow moving...a pack of lies," he mutters...

"Today the president has to be the country...there is no room for "W" today." Te Deum is playing in the National Cathedral. He's being friggin' coronated! It's copying Princess Di's wedding.

Oh my non-gay stars!

[Generic Other]

19. Standing at Ground Zero Chanting USA

I think I am the only person in the whole country who got this far into this wretched movie.

Maudlin montage scenes. Remind me of Scarlet O'Hara with the wounded in Atlanta. Uh-oh, stealing a dead policeman's mother's badge...

[smallprint]

20. i haven't seen any of the movie

but judging from these comments, it sure seems like this film is destined for infamy and ridicule...

[Generic Other]

21. Oh god, I feel like such a spoiler! do not read on!

I apologize.

[smallprint]

25. that's ok

i'm enjoying it

it's really really funny just to read the comments and imagine the cast of "that's my bush" act it out...

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

22. Timothy Bottoms As Bush?

Not a very convincing performance, but central casting had problems when Koko the Chimp turned down the role. After reading the script, Koko kept saying "what's my motivation", which immediately triggered calls from the CIA. At least Bottoms has a consisent last name, what with a Dick, Bush, Rumpsmell, and Colon being portrayed.

23. Canadian taxpayers paid for this episode of masterpiece theater

26. We've got to attack Osama bin Laden and then Saddam

WMD. Oh yeah, when we first blamed Saddam for 9/11 way back when...

[Generic Other]

27. "You were great on the Russert Show yesterday"

says Shrub to Cheney on closed circuit tv (I guess he's in the undisclosed location where the Shadow Government undead live belowground).

[Generic Other]

29. He's reading the BIBLE

Fondling the dead policeman's badge in a very erotic fashion.

Laura says "The world isn't filled with Texans...remember how the Taliban treats women."

Smooching...I think she just grabbed his manhood, but I can't look, so I can't say for sure.

[Generic Other]

31. Bush addresses Congress "With us or against us"

Seriously, they are interspersing real photos, real 9/11 film footage with this shameful fictionalized gunk.

I think it's almost over...

Flags are flying...lots of clapping...Cheney watching from a cave...Osama from another...

[ComerPerro]

30. The morons at FR of course

Think this is a factual documentary.

"Bush wanted to go back to Washington, but they kept saying no until Bush said so. So much for Bush being a coward."

"The dems hate it because they know people will respond favorably to Bush - and we can't have that .. you know!!"

And I dare not read any of the other nonsense.

It amazes me what stupid fucking god damn clueless half-witten piece of shit asshole idiot sons of bitches that FReepers are, to swallow this propaganda so readily.

[Generic Other]

32. Watching it has convinced me that we should go to war with Canada!

Imagine inflicting such an atrocity on us.

You people lock your doors up there, tonight, eh?

[ComerPerro]

33. You know, part of me wishes we would

Canada, Germany and France. Not that I wish any ill will on these countries. Don't get me wrong.

Its just that I know that if Bush gets re-elected, such an event may happen. I know he wants to oppress anyone who won't fall in line. So I wish he would reveal his twisted desires and get them out in the open before the election, so people can see what a fucking sick, murderous asshole he really is.

[Pepperbelly]

36. Did Christopher Guest have anything to do with this or ...

is Parker Posey Laura Bush?

Or maybe those guys who do Reno 9/11.
