Bush to Broadcast an Address on Iraq and Terror on Sunday

DC 9/11 To Air Monday Evening

nytimes.com

"This made-for-television movie on Showtime Sunday night is less a first draft of history than a final rewrite of a Tom Clancy screenplay. George W. Bush, uncannily impersonated by Timothy Bottoms, is its action-adventure commander in chief. "If some tinhorn terrorist wants me, tell him to come get me," the fictionalized president barks at an overprotective security officer keeping him hidden aboard Air Force One on that fateful day. "I'll just be waiting for the bastard."

"DC 9/11" was written by Lionel Chetwynd, a filmmaker who is one of Hollywood's more outspoken conservatives, and it reflects his unstinting admiration for the president."

It hard to see this political "docu-drama" as anything less than the most significant development in the use of media in politics since the Kennedy-Nixon debates.
