[QUOTE=Shayna] And ABC/Disney has the unmitigated _gall_ to egregiously misrepresent the agents’ roles on that fateful day, basically pointing a bigass finger right at them! A woman is dead and they besmirch her memory with fucking lies. The people who wrote, made, financed, broadcast or in any way worked on this piece of filth have no souls. And the fucking prick – the man who had been _told_ this was being planned and who actually _had_ the power to do something about it – uses the anniversary of this tragedy for his fucking political grandstanding. Every fucking one of them makes me sick. [/QUOTE] Begorrah! She’s a fiery lass, ain’t she? ---

[QUOTE=elucidator] That’s what giving a damn looks like. [/QUOTE] I know. I know. That’s the True believer, I care so much, I’ll turn my brain off and run on convictions sort of fanaticism, that let’s people fly airplanes into buildings. It’s the black and white, us versus them, diametricism of the utterly self-righteous. I suppose she wants to frogmarch Mickey Mouse into the showers, or send Michael Eisner off for some reeductation? It’s a TV show on Disney, and the first part was innacurate and slanted to the right. Who here wanted to boycott CBS when Dan Rather did the whole forged documents thing? Show of hands? I mean we all know this is just a coincidence. It’s not like Disney’s right-wing or anything. After all, they distributed Farenheit 911, right? ---

[QUOTE=Scylla] Who here wanted to boycott CBS when Dan Rather did the whole forged documents thing? [/quote] I must’a forgotten the incident in that bruhaha when CBS gave advanced screenings of the report to liberal bloggers and excluded everyone else. Or when there was a high-profile public stink of the mistakes in the report made _before_ the program airead, and CBS went ahead and broadcast it anyway. Or where a CBS insider reassured the readership of DailyKos that the anti-Bush slant of the report was “in the DNA of the project and could not be eradicated.” Please remind me of when these incidents occurred, oh wizard. (_cf._ from the dog-latin Wize-arse, or “one who is smart from the bottom”) [QUOTE=Scylla] I mean we all know this is just a coincidence. It’s not like Disney’s right-wing or anything. After all, they distributed Farenheit 911, right? [/QUOTE] That must be a surprise to Michael Moore. ---

Wouldn’t you have to say it three times? If we can trick him into saying “Ssa Sesroh” would he disappear into the 9th dimension? ---

[QUOTE=Squink] Do you always set up your horse-troughs running through the trunks of trees? [/QUOTE] Only when it’s expedient to do so. > [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > Granddaughter’s a cutie pie. Does he pull any of that crap with her or behave like a lamb when she’s aboard? The girl and the horse have an _arrangement_. When she’s up, they go where the horse wants to go, do what the horse wants to do, and when the horse heads back to the barn and stops, she gets off. Then he gets toweled off, brushed, combed, smooched and is given copious amounts of sweet feed, all things that are dear to his heart. So yes, he a sweet-heart when she’s riding. Me, I make him do stuff he doesn’t want to do and he has to actually break a sweat every now and then, so we have our little disagreements. He’s bigger and faster, I’m smarter and meaner. I have every confidence that given time, a scientific approach and intelligence will prevail over ignorance and superstition. Eventually I’ll be able to have a relaxed and enjoyable time riding that horse! (Or by god I’ll die trying!) 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-running-commentary-on-the-9-11-movie-on-abc-tonight-live-as-we-watch/372232.md?page=4)
