I had the chance to see an advance screener copy of ABC’s Path to 9/11 mini-series, which will be airing Sunday and Monday. The five-and-a-half movie is being assailed by liberals accusing the producers of taking liberties with the historical record. ABC defends the production by saying it is not a documentary but a dramatic retelling. I don’t know about that, but I have to say the movie was exceptionally well-written and well-acted. I was impressed with the nail-biting suspense and action — especially the way it ended. At the risk of spoiling it for people, I thought it was really cool how they show the president landing a helicopter on the wing of the American Airlines Flight 77, killing Mohamed Atta with his bare hands, and then pulling off Atta’s beard to reveal it’s really former President Bill Clinton! Unbelievable! And if that wasn’t cool enough, Bush kills all the other terrorists in the cockpit and then lands the plane safely on the roof of the World Trade Center! I have to tell you the special effects in this part were really exceptional and look as good as any Hollywood blockbuster.It’s strange that I seem to recall our President sitting on his ass reading kiddie books the morning of September 11 2001, but I guess I’m wrong. I mean ABC says that the movie is based on the 9/11 Commission’s findings and there’s no reason for me to believe my TV would lie to me. I enjoyed the mini-series so much I can’t wait for a sequel. I’m sure ABC has to continue the story, like when Saddam Hussein set a timer so George Bush only had two minutes in which to deactivate that nuclear bomb strapped to Condoleezza Rice’s bikini. That would be awesome.
It’s thirteen:o’clock, baby. All hail our brave and glorious leader!
