I didn't watch. Did they treat the Bush administration with kid gloves, or was it as hard on Bush as it was on Clinton?

1. No "My Pet Goat". No mention of Bush's whereabouts
President DECISIVELY ORDERED Vice-President over the phone to shoot down invaders.

2. The worst thing I saw
Remember hearing about the August 6, 2001 presidential daily brief that warned Bush that Bin Laden was going to attack the United States? Bush ignored that memo.

The way the movie showed it, Rice read the brief to a room full of everybody involved in counter-terrorism and said that Bush wanted an all out response. The "The president doesn't want to just roll back Al Qaida, he wants to eliminate it" Rice approximately said. Rice portrayed a sense of urgency.

This scene upset me more than any becaues before the film aired the filmmakers promised that they would go hard on Bush two and promised a scene about the presidential brief. I assume they had ones because others said they saw it. If that's true, then apparently, while Democrats were not able to get lies taken out, Bush was able to get the truth taken out. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

7. Again, Contact ABC and then boycott them

It is evident they are on the side of the corporatists and could care less about their viewers.

Don't click on ABC whether its TV, radio, or the net. Just leave them alone.

5. All I Saw Was The Last 30 Seconds Accidentally. They Were Probably The
Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 09:43 PM by OPERATIONMINDCRIME
only good part.

It was text commentary about the 9-11 commission report having 41 things to improve, but when graded out of those 41 things 5 were F's, 12 were D's and only one A. It then gave an example of an F, a D and an A. I know the F was somethin like Airport security, forget what the D was, and the A was disrupting financing of terrorists. It ended by supplying a quote from the report along the lines of "we are convinced they will attack us again. If they do, and these changes aren't implemented, what will our excuses be?". Then it hovered there on that point for a little bit.

It was the only 30 seconds I saw of the two nights. As bad as the mockumentary was, I was at least pleased it ended on a "the current administration is currently failing completely" type of note.

6. I thought they mangled the swatting at flies quote. Also basically
laid the blame on the CIA for not having Hellfire missiles ready.

8. A.W.O.L.?
Showed that the Oval Office, as well as the President's desk, was empty...then someone closed the door. Made the admin look asleep at the wheel.
