Incomprehensible? I think not
Tom McMahon just sent me an email - well, not me personally; everybody who's signed up at democrats.org. He's decrying (rightfully) the presentation of this 'docudrama' on "The Road to 9/11" as fact when it's well-spun GOP propaganda.
He says:
We should all be deeply concerned and disappointed that ABC would air a film that has been proven to have factual inaccuracies about one of the most important events in our nation's history. It's particularly disturbing given that the producer of the piece is a well known conservative. It's incomprehensible how something like this could even get on the air.Deeply concerned? You bet. Disappointed? Yes, sir. Disturbed? Not a doubt.
Incomprehensible? Not so much. (He should've stuck with D's...)
It's just business as usual. The GOP pushes media dereg and monopolization ... sorry, I forget what they called it. Something about consumer choice, no doubt ... and the media responds with a nice attack ad timed for the election run-up (how nice for them that it's the actual anniversary; they don't have to work at all to make up a cover story).
I find it quite a few things that end in "ensible": reprehensible, indefensible, deprehensible, ostensible, offensible, possibly even subsensible. But incomprehensible?
I wish.

It didn't dawn on me till lunch time yesterday listening to Paul Harvey, 'they' are taking all we say about the inaccuracies, understandable as 'they' are as we have gotten to know them by now, and calling us (who point and say hey look) defenders of Clinton. Crying about ABC placing blame and fault with the previous administration. But that is typical of 'them', understanding them as we do, it is certainly not incomprehensive in the least. You are right, its a bad place for that word. Like we do not understand how, why or any clue as to understand 'them', but we do. Understand?
What about Scholastic that had a classroom tie in with the program, frantically recutting the mini series, but still. Scholastic? so they really were hoping, maybe still this would paint the history story of 911? Well, I will have to watch it now, had better things to do besides keep watch out for lies. Waste all our time, keeping them honest shouldn't be our chore. It should be something we can take for granted, feel secure about honesty and integrity is sought by all that want to play. Just some can't play fair.
