This photo supplied by ABC shows Shirley Douglas portraying then Secretary of State Madeleine Albright in a scene from ABC's 'The Path to 9/11.' Albright is one of the former Clinton administration officials demanding that ABC correct or not air the miniseries because it is 'terribly wrong' about events leading to the Sept. 11 attacks . The miniseries airs Sunday night Sept. 10 and Monday, Sept. 11, 2006.(AP Photo/ABC Peter Stranks)

Poor Bill...it is actually humorous to hear him refer to someone "Lying" with any form of indignation.

If I were the former secretary, I wouldn't have wanted that aired either. It showed us just how bad she was. And it was even worse than expected.

Go Vikes!!!

2 games tonight and Part Deux of The Path to 9/11.

Interesting that 13 million saw the show and probably another 13 million are like me who recorded, DVR, the 1st part and will do the same for the 2nd part and still not miss the football games.

Well d'uh. In other news - the sun will rise tomorrow.

"He made the choice that most Americans made," said Jay Carson, Clinton Foundation spokesman. "Of a fictionalized drama version of Sept. 11 or the Manning brothers playing football against one another, he chose the latter."

How many people believe this? Okay. Good. None.

Go Vikes PING!

Enough people saw it to make a difference. This ABC thing is growing legs. No telling how big it will get.

I don't get it, why ABC of all stations? Always Bill Clinton news airing this. I guess it's the bottom line, there is money in this for them somewhere.

Twice as many folks watched that stupid football game than the 9-11 show. This speaks volumes about what kind of people inhabit this nation these days.

I love football, although not so much the pros, but Lord in Heaven......

I guess if the peckerhead who tried to blow himself up at the Oklahoma game last year had been successful, these idiots might start paying attention.

Several scenes were cut or changed from the first part of a movie ABC has stressed is a dramatization and not a documentary.

"You can take out some of the more dramatic details," Carson said, "but it is still utterly and completely false."

Oh yeah, The "Legacy' thing still comes thru , no matter the cuts made..

People in this country are being lulled to sleep by TV,
sports events, etc. - anything to avoid confronting reality.
"Bread and circuses' - like the last days of the Roman empire.

[Lib-Lickers 2]

the people who watched football last night for the most part already hate the libs

[wvobiwan]

Not fair, many people who watched the game probably recorded. Also, many chose not to watch after news that ABC caved to the Arkansaw Mafia.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

a fictionalized drama version of Sept. 11

Yeah, it wasn't a true documentary like "Fahrenheit 911."

[HEY4QDEMS]

"If people blame Bill Clinton after seeing this........"



"I don't care about a solution, I just need someone to blame"

That is a significant number of viewers, it will be getting a lot of exposure and such the next few moths so hopefully the lessons learned will bode well for the fututre.

Ya seen the one below?

A Palestinian shows how a folded twenty dollar bill appears to show the World Trade Center buildings on fire. Osama bin Laden's deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri has warned that the Gulf and Israel would be the next targets of Al-Qaeda, in a video message coinciding with the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks on the United States.(AFP/Hazem Bader)

Don't take it so personal because actually more than 13 million will see it. When there's a conflict between a sport and a show most people will record the show because it's no fun to watch a game after one knows the outcome and they can always go back to the show.

And the left luntic academics (which means nearly all of the academics) think Mad Halfbright is a genius.
