Saving Jessica Lynch!
This spectacular award-winning movie is coming to NBC in TWO, that's 2 weeks!

Will you be watching the Bushfest?

I won't.

2. I wonder what the genre for the movie will be?
It's funny, most similar movies are 'based on a true story', where as this movie will be 'based on a trumped-up, veiled anecdote'.

6. Nope.
Neither will two of the soldiers involved in her "rescue", one of them killed in a car crash and the other shot.

Scary.

7. Now that is scary... and a proposed new title for this movie...
I wonder if that will be addressed in this movie, which should be more appropriately called "Up Those Who Wish to Capitalize and Distort the Iraqi War Experience of Jessica Lynch".

8. Not watching.
Also, not watching the Flyboy movie on CNN on *41.
Also, not reading bitchy Barbara Bush's new book.
I'm tired of the Bush family interviews and propaganda that is being forced on anyone even surfing the cable stations the last two weeks.

11. THE SAD THING
is that the movie is what many people will remember, and they will confuse it with reality. Nobody saw that really happened, so the movie will become the rality of the thing... I definitely won't watch it... -C

14. She wants
what the pentagon tells her to want.
I'm sure she has had a "talk" with the propaganda ministry.
Oh, and I will not be watching.
