WTF Is It Now?!?

Lights, camera, exploitation
That’s Our Bush! The pResident’s re-election campaign kicks off with a shameless 9-11 docudrama

by J. Hoberman, in the new Village Voice:

In the end 9-11 turned out to be a made-for-TV movie, or rather, the basis for one—a shameless propaganda vehicle for our superstar president George W. Bush.

The upcoming Showtime feature DC 9/11: Time of Crisis is a signal advance in the instant, ongoing fictionalization of American history, complete with the president fulminating most presidentially against "tinhorn terrorists," decisively employing the word problematic in a complete sentence, selling a rationale for preemptive war, and presciently laying out American foreign policy for the next 18 months.

And it's NOT A COMEDY!!
Good grief.
