Democrats pointed out that the main consultant to the ABC series was Thomas Keane, a former Republican New Jersey governor and chairman of the 9/11 commission. Correct me if I'm wrong but was it not Nancy Reagan and the general public that protested the movie about Ronald Reagan? I don't remember the Republicans raising a fuss.

Ooops.. regarding my earlier post, this the quote I meant to reference.
The outrage had echoes of a 2003 controversy when Republicans successfully persuaded CBS to pull an unflattering and inaccurate biopic of the late Ronald Reagan.

Absolutely true. The Reagon documentary was pulled and it went to a pay-to-view station.
Unfortunately, hypocrisy is not limited to one side of the aisle.

Yes, no Republican politican or operative threatend Govt retribution against CBS. It was a purely grass roots effort AND it still was shown on Showtime.
