At Home On Piety Hill

One of the two administrations faulted for not taking the war on terrorism seriously before 9/11 is freaking out over the ABC docudrama The Path To 9/11 and it’s starting to get scary. When one party threatens the broadcast license of a major network over a mini-series, it’s time to let them know that the Bill of Rights is just that… it’s not the Bill of Permits granted or doled out to citizens by government.

• Our borders and ports remain open to infiltration, Social Security is going down and what is the Democratic leadership in the Senate doing? Reminding ABC that they control the licensing of broadcast media.
• Meanwhile, President Clinton went straight to the top and demanded that the program, which cost ABC $40 million, be censored in order to protect his legacy.
• Then, he has his lawyers intimidate Disney.
• Madeleine Albright’s ability to earn a living as a consultant is threatened, so she started howling.
• Sandy Berger, convicted thief of classified documents, joined in the chorus of whining.

Meanwhile, yet another “hate Bush” film premiers in Canada, but the Bush administration calmly goes about their business. In this day of petulant pop-star politicos, it’s comforting to know there are some adults out there holding things together.
