Cutting Room Floor
Tigerhawk informs us Robert Redford is planning a blockbuster on Richard Clarke’s “Against All Enemies,” and wonders what manner of Gore won’t be included in this tragic epic of Bush lied people died.*
Speaking of the Gore that was and the Gore that is, Driscoll proposes a compromise.
* Help Bob! Alternate titles encouraged in comments.

Has has-been Bob pencilled himself in for a leading role? If so, it’ll die at the boxoffice.

“The Clinton administration ignored the al Qaeda threat and allowed 9-11 to happen.”
“The Clinton administration was so vigilant about al Qaeda that it approved grabbing suspect terrorists off the street in violation of international law.”
Geez, you guys just can’t keep your stories straight.

So ‘dog, set me straight, which one was it actually? The Clinton admin didn’t do enough (didn’t “connect the dots” as our caring and sharing friends accuse Bush of) or they were so hell bent on protecting America that they ignored international law and did what they thought best, damn the consequences? Or was it perhaps some nuanced response that escapes us trog rethugs and would have worked too dammit if it weren’t for Florida 2000?

My answer is going to be long and pretty boring, VC. You sure you want it?

Oh, man, I check in to see the humorous titles Jules asked us for and I find people feeding the dang trolls!! Cut it out!!!!
Now who has a good title? This should be a fun thread. Is everybody blocking on this, like I am? I will check back tomorrow and I hope I find some wit here.
Maybe we can work with Banjo’s observation. How about:
Dead Again — On Arrival at the Box Office
(the first part is the title of a real movie–good thriller)
Come on, people, let’s get it together here and rise to the occasion.

Well, the most obvious title is “For All Enemies”.
Corndog, it isn’t our fault that your side changed its collective mind about the terrorists–and Saddam–when it became Bush instead of Clinton. If you are finding contradictions, please put the blame where it belongs. That administration gathered the information, but did nothing about it, aside from lobbing a missile or two into the dust of Afghanistan. (I won’t add the aspirin factory. That was a mistake and, unlike those on the left, I won’t equate a mistake with a lie.) Too bad they only demurred when it came to a rendition of bin Laden.

My God all you have to do is read Zinni’s account of Saddam and terrorists and the need to blah blah blah and what happens when the terrorists get wmd and Saddam is our biggest threat blah blah blah back in Feb. 2000 and compare it to the same guy a few years later and know the Democrats are all suffering from hysterical amnesia.
Maybe something like A Few Good Terrorists. Or Mutiny in the CIA.

Cousin Salty,
First off, it’s pretty disgusting that you would say that Richard Clarke is “For All Enemies,” after all he’s done. Particularly after your amusing whine-fest about the Petraeus ad.
As to the rest of your “point,” I’m not speaking for, or representing, any “side.”
September 27th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
S’ok ‘dog, I probably wouldn’t get it anyhow. I’m one of those closed mind types who thinks socialism has never worked. Whatever they did I’m sure it worked out just fine!
September 27th, 2007 at 7:27 pm
Corndog, first of all, I said nothing about Clarke, I was offering a name to the Redford movie, as asked.
I’ll make a deal with you dog: If you will refrain from treating all of us like one giant borg, I will refrain from assuming you speak for any particular “side.”
September 27th, 2007 at 7:28 pm
“Against All Reason”
“Against Any Action”
“Against Anything Out Of The Bush Administration”
………
And so on. Just don’t go for “corndog: First Blood“…John wouldn’t like that.
September 27th, 2007 at 11:24 pm
Movie titles, hm?
The Sixth Whine
Raising Richard Clarke
Clarkiana
Dr. Clarklove… Or How I Bit The Hand That Fed Me
Five Easy Lies
Lie Hard
Whew, this is tiring.

Oh Rebecca! Thanks. You get the laurel for the best belly laugh of the day! Hell, the week (and you know that’s saying something, considering the company we keep).
Clarkiana. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
September 28th, 2007 at 1:23 am
P.S. Corndog. I don’t know what Petraeus “whine fest” you are talking about. I had very little to say about that ad, and even less about his report to Congress. What was there to say. Each entity spoke clearly for itself. Gotta link?
September 28th, 2007 at 10:11 am
Mmmm, corndogs.
I like corndogs.
A little flaky on the outside, but deep down, mostly a weenie.
September 28th, 2007 at 10:32 am
Nice job! Thank you for playing. Rebecca definitely wins. All those entries are excellent; I particularly like Lie Hard. For All Enemies is also nice as are Against All Reason and Against Any Action. I thought of Against All Credulity but yours are better, Jeff.

Texas Bob, don’t forget: corndogs are also corny.
