ABC 9/11 Flick a Hysterical Document

Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

Kasidy_Yates.jpgRachel Sklar is shocked — shocked! — at ABC’s The Path to 9/11. Specifically, the scene in which Beverly from The Larry Sanders Show Condoleezza Rice reads the now-famous “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” memo and then LEAPS INTO ACTION, calling some sort of meeting and urging an immediate strike against the guy Sandy Berger was too much of a pussy to get rid of a few short years earlier (as illustrated in this clip). The only problem with the scene is that, well, it’s complete bullshit. And it’s really obvious bullshit, as everyone’s got to remember what was one of our favorite soundbytes from the heady days of the 9/11 commission: MORE »

Jake Tapper Gets Hitched, Is Declared Important By Arbiters of Class Privilege

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

Jake Tapper, married man - WonketteCongratulations to ABC’s square-jawed Jake Tapper, who, despite his on-going hostage crisis, has snared himself a wife, and an item in the prestigious New York Times “Vows” section. Tapper married Jen Brown of Planned Parenthood, thus justifying any and all claims of liberal bias in ABC’s reporting. Jen’s “father owns and operates US 1 Dollar, an independent general merchandise store in Lenexa, Kan.,” a sentence we are pretty sure has never appeared in the Vows section before this weekend. Good luck, you crazy kids! And send us some wedding pictures, we couldn’t make it out to Kansas City. MORE »
