path to 9/11 humor

I ran into this on the slog and couldn't resist.

Defective Yeti published a few factual inaccuracies in "The Path To 9/11". (comments are mine)

  • Evidence that the Taliban was founded by Tipper Gore is (alas) circumstantial at best.

  • The scene in which Howard Dean punches Jesus is a dramatization. (He actually punched St Francis, but concerns that depicting St Francis would be misunderstood by non-Catholics dictated a change.)

  • Blooper! When the Clintons are in bed and Bill is reading to Hillary "to get her in the mood" he is holding Mein Kampf upside-down. (His accent, however, is impeccable.)

  • The finale, in which Bush crashes Airforce One into a remote Afghan stronghold, emerges unscathed from the wreckage, and defeats Al Qaeda using nunchucks and pyrokinesis, is actually a composite of several different events.


There's more over at the defective yeti...
