#6  Shipman, LOL!

Don't forget the demand for a 4th Purple Heart.

#5  It is funny, you know, this 20/20 hindsight that M. Moore is blessed with.

On September 11, 2001, I was driving to work along US 14. I turned on the radio and heard a traffic report... from New York City. What the--? They were playing a feed from the New York affiliate.

A man-on-the street interview said a plane had hit the World Trade Center. Damn. That sucks, I thought. Some poor schmo and his Cessna? "What kind?" asked the reporter. "A small commuter plane," said the man. Dang... that's not good.

The radio station took a call. In the middle of it, the woman starts screaming "Oh my god... its another one!" Okay, I thought, now the Stern fans are out yanking their chain. (Weirdly, Howard Stern wasn't talking about it as it happened. Maybe they weren't live that day? I dunno... I flipped back to AM.)

I fumbled for my cell phone and called my grandmother at home and told her to flip on the TV.

It was confirmed. Two planes and not just little planes. Big, freakin' commercial airliners. One for each tower. No accident, that. I drove numbly to work and saw hundreds of people standing in the hallway looking at Fox News on the monitor. (Somewhat fewer people were watching the CNN monitor down the hall. I'm not saying, I'm just saying...)

At any rate. I can't fault the President for taking a few minutes to take it all in. It took me considerably longer, myself.

What did M. Moore do with his time when he first heard about it? Did he immediately jump to his feet and swing into some kind of action? (Dancing in the street, in his case.) Or did he sit and absorb the shock like about 250 million other people in the United States did that day?

#4  Glad it wasn't Kerry, he'd been out of that classroom in a flash on the way to Flying Squirrel running and dictating a memo about the wound he just received from that 8 year old running with blunt scissors.

#3  Too bad Jabba won't be charged when someone gets killed as a result of his 'documentary'.....

Look for ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/BBC/... to protray FuckinLies 911 as fact......

#2  You know I have NO idea how a President should act after hearing such news and I doubt Jabba does either. One word I haven’t heard used during any review was honesty. As in this was an honest portrayal of the events that happened. I heard George Steponuptoit debunked most of his claims and Jabba only made jokes or wild counter claims. This film is going to get a lot more people killed because the Arabs lap up conspiracy with a ladle.
