abc series, cont.
I had the date wrong yesterday - the two-part series will run Sunday and Monday (9/10 and 9/11) which makes sense. According to an article on Yahoo's news page, ABC states that although the production is still being edited a bit and perhaps "slightly tweaked in response to concerns that it unfairly attacks the Clinton administration for failure to act on terrorist threats in the years leading up to the Sept. 11, 2001", they say that they have "not bowed to pressure from former Cabinet members and left-wing groups to "dump," "yank" or otherwise pull the movie from the schedule." One can only hope.
Update1: The Anchoress has several interesting posts on this. Like many of us, she is dismayed about the implications of Clinton's demands for revision or withdrawal. Furthermore, she read a review that says the show is more boring than challenging, so Clinton would have been better off shrugging it off and letting it fade. She also wonders what the implications will be on his wife's positions, but a. few believe much of what either of them says and b. there is such a distance between them in so many ways, that it's probably irrelevant.
Update2: H/tips to the ever-interesting Eratosthenes for Tempest in a Teapot's must-read on this and to musing Laura for this right-on summary.
