Used to describe Senators Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, and any of the other irresponsible, Constitutionally-derelict jack-asses who think threatening to pull ABC’s broadcast license is something they can get away with.
This, I think, is the perfect TV slate for ABC to use everytime the Dems get their boxers (or is it briefs?) in a twist over something scheduled to air that potrays them in an unfavorable light. I wonder just how far will ABC cave, considering this threat?
Allah provides reminders here and here of Clinton-era counterterrorism failures.
Memeorandum, as always, has a huge article and blog link roundup.

Update I: Jay Tea at Wizbang has a thoughtful post up on the Democrats threat to revoke ABC’s broadcast license.
Update II: Here’s video of Bill Clinton taking a stand - against lying. A liar lying about lying. Imagine that.

I have just coined a new term for the condition from which these folks suffer: Leftourettes™

“Let ABC show thier movie in it’s original format, freedom of speech isn’t just for Michael Moore.”

Are the democRATs questioning the ‘patriotism’ of ABC?
Are the democRATs stomping on The Constitution?
Are the democRATs trying to cover something up?
Am I surprised?

What are the democrats afraid of? What is in this movie? Does it have anything to do with documents Sandy Burglar stole? I think everyone is curious now. I would like to buy 100 dvd copies of the original version. Where can I buy them?

Proving once again that the Dems are all for stifling freedom of speech if they disagree with the message.
BTW, when you put a dash in the word jackass, you are swearing. Don’t worry though, I won’t tell on you.

- The Dembulbs are at it again, trying gaimly to “pushback” as they watch their whole “there is no WOT” get Bush agenda falling apart on the eve of Congressional elections. Today, no doubt as a pre-response to the Clinton screw-ups video series, a Dem Congressional “Iraq war/Bush investigation” is once again trying to report there was no connection between Hussein and al Qaeda until we made one by attacking Iraq. Unfortunately among the millions of CIA documents there are several from Husseins own secret operatives detailing exactly those connections, as reported by Ollie North on FOX this morning. Just a guess, but very possible the evidence that Sandy Berger was trying to eliminate.
- Clinton is lying through his teeth, betting as usual “nobody can prove it”. If ABC crumples under Dem pressure and baldfaced stifling of free speech, I don’t have much hope for the future of our Republic. On the other hand I do have faith in the Majority of the American voters.

Comprehensive writeup on what happened. Very well done.
Bottom line:
ABC should not pull the plug

I sent the following message to ABC:
Under pressure, it seems that your network caved in to threats of censorship concerning “The Path To 9/11″. Perhaps the Democratic Party is running things at ABC these days.
But then they always did, right? It’s a dog-bites-man story. What a profile in courage ABC is!
A word of advice: In the future, keep specials like this completely under wraps. Your “sneak preview” has had one unwanted effect - too many people outside ABC will know what was cut (and why). Not good for ratings.

Well, if this does get to air and the truth is out of the bag with respect to Clinton being distracted by his sexual pecadillos with interns and dropping the ball, so to speak, repeatedly on Osama Bin Laden, expect the Dems to change tactics. Suddenly, then, if they are nailed to the wall and unable to lie about being on top of things, then they’ll change their whine to it’s all Ken Starr’s fault and those evil Republican VRWC-mongers. After all, if they hadn’t gone nuts about a simple office BJ, Clinton wouldn’t have been distracted and would have killed Bin Laden! Yeah, that’s the ticket! It’s all Ken Starr’s fault!
