Well-timed indeed. What better day for "Path to 9/11" to air than for the 5th Anniversary of, uh, 9/11?
Especially to do it on the 5th anniversary, and not last year, because the fourth is so much less important. Yep, it couldn't possible be that this is a midterm election for which trendlines suggest the evangelicals could lose the House. Nah, not that.
That's just retarded. Period.

Second that 'n' more. Brother Founze, can anyone trully put it past Repubs and Fox Friends to resist the so-called conservative hits? The time of airing "Path to pack of lies" was not as much an issue as the appalling content portrayed.
That certainly would explain why you
emphasized well-timed in your statement, because it's common to emphasize what you didn't mean.
I didn't watch "Path to 9/11". I don't care about it one whit. If you want to dispute the content, fine. But to ride the rail that it was timed for mid-terms on the 5th anniversary is very weak. I don't disagree that Fox paints the pictures it wants. I don't think it tries very hard to hide it either.
However, to keep bringing up this Vast Right Wing Conspiracy card is pretty fucking lame, especially after you served 8 years as president. It's just as pathetic as the Bush Administration & GOP decrying a Liberal Media Bias.
I think Clinton's first mistake was feeding his ego to preserve his precious Legacy, as Kingfish up there already summed up very well. His second mistake was getting his panties in a bunch over "hit jobs" from "right wingers". A step too far. Completely unnecessary.
I thought his statement about trying, though failing, was a damn near perfect statement. But to then leap off into the smear campaign talk is just paranoid wankery. I realize how amazing it was that Clinton served 8 years and never once made a mistake. It's quite clear in his Presidential Library. However, without comparing Fox (or any other major news source) to Joseph Pulitzer, I agree with Pulitzer's position on newspapers: "A good newspaper has no friends."
To not question Clinton or his policies during his Presidency is a disservice to the nation. Of course, that applies 1000x more to when he was in office than now. It's not a smear campaign nor an attempt to tear down his Legacy. It's also a disservice to not question the Bush Administration, even though they make so few attempts at being available for questioning. Good journalism ain't easy.
