In a new "history" cartoon aimed at children, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, now a Fox News personality, spins an animated, less-than-nuanced retelling of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C., with a distinctly pro-Bush, pro-torture spin.

In his "Learn Our History," the former Republican presidential candidate puts forward a version of 9/11 that depicts America "coming together" in the wake of the attacks and rallying behind their leader's plan to "take down al Qaeda."

It closes with a montage showing alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed -- who was waterboarded 183 times in a single month -- an image of Osama bin Laden with the word "deceased" superimposed over his FBI profile, and former President George W. Bush telling U.S. first responders at the World Trade Center site that the terrorists would soon be punished.

Huckabee's "Learn Our History" series faced its first controversy after he blasted public schools for allegedly teaching children political bias in history class, only to release an episode which glamorized President Ronald Reagan and his anti-labor economic policies.

4. Speaking of this idiot - does anyone know why his ad regarding

HCR is still running on MSNBC? I think it is on The Last Word every night - if not then on one of those shows.

5. It's also a commercial enterprise, not a chartable one,

as reported on MSNBC. In other words, that good "Christian" minister is making money off of 9/11. Beneath my contempt.

6. I saw that interview, too, yesterday, with the fire chief who lost his fireman son on 9/11.

He thought that Huckabee was beneath contempt to be profiting from, as he called it, "blood money," not to mention Mr. 9/11, himself, Rudy Giuliani. :grr:

To catch Bush's Biggest (but not only) mistake of the century, Right ?
