Bwahahahaha
Atrios has the link, but I just couldn't resist posting this exchange:
It is precisely at this point when "DC 9/11: Time of Crisis" becomes a full- blown comedy. In trying to spin furiously and make Bush out to be not only confident and nurturing but also unquestionably in command, the film pulls a muscle addressing "the Cheney myth," as one character calls it. In scene after scene we're shown Cheney meekly doing the president's bidding or nodding with awe at the commander-in-chief's macho posturing.
Who, it should be asked, could be so insanely out of touch with dramatic structure as to include this hard-sell exchange in which Bush and Cheney agree that the response needs to be fast and furious?:
Bush: "We always knew it might come to this."
Cheney: "You always said that if it did, this is how we'd earn our pay."
Bush: "And we will. It's a war."
I gotta get Showtime .....
