Barbara Bush footage in FH 9/11?

[southlandshari]

I didn't move from my seat last night, so I don't know how I missed it. Where was the footage of Barbara Bush's interview on a morning show where she talked about not bothering her beautiful mind with images of body bags? Maybe I misunderstood pre-release publicity - I thought this was in the movie (and supposedly infuriated Bush, Sr.).

1. Good question, I remember Poppy said it was beyond the pale to attack her

Maybe Moore figures Babs is still a sympathetic figure?

5. so I'm not crazy

there was publicity about it being in the movie?

I was looking forward to seeing it!

6. Well you may be crazy...and welcome to DU....but here it is

We asked what he thought of Moore's use of the comment Barbara Bush made at the start of the Iraq war: "Why should we hear about body bags, and deaths? ... Why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? And watch suffer."

Said her furious husband: "For him to take on Barbara is just beyond the pale. She's a decent, wonderful person, and to have to answer anything about what that slimeball says is just too much."

8. Thanks!

And touche! I probably am a little crazy, but my memory is still pretty good. I knew there had been buzz about his use of this footage.

9. How exactly is providing a clip of her saying such...

... self-serving stuff "what that slimeball says...?" How exactly does a video account of her speaking her own words constitute an attack on her?

Did I just see something fall down the rabbit hole?

15. quoting her directly is "taking her on"

quoting her directly is "taking her on"???
she said this on national television!!

hey poppy, as your buddy richard says:

FUCK YOU!

2. The only time I saw BB in the film was in a still shot. A photo.

It's possible she was in another clip walking along by someone else, but if so, I didn't see it. I definitely did not see any part of the movie where she spoke.

17. a photo that shows she has ALWAYS been ugly as sin

nt

[southlandshari]

18. ugly on the inside and outside

kick

3. If it was there, I didn't see it..

The one time I remember seeing Babs, was standing in the background at baby's Inauguration!

[bushwakker]

4. that should be in there - she's fair game

that footage should be seen by everyone on the planet.

7. Wasn't in it. Seen it twice now. I'm positive.

n/t

10. I wonder why he took it out then? I was looking forward to it as well.

The CIA women are fair game, why not the first ladies?

[southlandshari]

11. anyone else know why it was omitted?

kick for Sunday browsers

[Wind Dancer]

12. I kept waiting for it too!

If anybody knows why it was pulled, please post.

[TrustingDog]

13. holy feezuks, I forgot about that....

Maybe someone can ask that question during the townhall thing tomorrow???

most likely a threat from Poppy that Micheal couldn't fight.

14. It wasn't in the movie

I imagine that there was a lot of footage in the movie that got cut in favor of more recent events, such as the 9-11 commission hearings, Richard Clarke clips, etc.

[southlandshari]

16. if no answer on the cut

this afternoon, could someone give this a kick later today/this evening? I hate to keep kicking my own threads, but I really want to know if there is a public reason this footage was cut. It was one of the only things in the film that I had not seen or heard about months/years before FH 9/11 came along.

[Wind Dancer]

19. kick

[Habibi]

20. I'll kick it too, since I'm also curious

but maybe the thing to do is send Michael an email and ask him directly?

[blueblitzkrieg]

21. Does anyone have a link where I can download the footage?

I've heard of what she said many times but I've never actually seen it.
