On Friday, Kerry Washington revealed via her Twitter account the trailer for her April 11th HBO film Confirmation.

Washington plays Anita Hill, who famously accused Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, played in the film by Wendell Pierce, of sexual harassment.

Confirmation also features Jeffrey Wright, Greg Kinnear, and Jennifer Hudson.

Figured I would give y'all a heads up so you can be sure to set your DVR's to catch what I'm sure will be an accurate, non-biased edge-of-your-seat thriller from those fine folks at HBO.

LOL! No doubt there will be no end to the honesty of the production.

So a single, and highly dubious, allegation of harassment almost derailed a SCOTUS nomination, but a well established, persistent and often malicious history of sexual harassment only made Bill Clinton’s voters love him more.

Every accusation of sexual harassment must be believed. Right, Hillary?

It doesn’t say who they have playing Juanita Broaddrick or Paula Jones.

I guess they’ll be in the sequel.

If the RNC was smart, they would use this as a means to make sure SCOTUS judgeship will be a major element of the 2016 election...

There is no more important aspect...

----See how low Hillary or Bernie will stoop to win----

Like, I said if they were smart and not have spines made from noodle...

That’ll be CGI, and in slow-motion.

One of the players in BOTH dramas has an interesting history.

First, she was a zealous crusader for poor Anita Hill, wronged and sexually harassed by The Evil Clarence Thomas.

Then, she became a faithful Clinton spearcatcher during the impeachment wars, making sure that the stories of the poor women who were wronged and sexually defiled by The LightBringer Bill Clinton were deeply buried.

Jane Mayer [Hamilton]:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Mayer

Mayer is one of the vilest, most hypocritical pieces of Lefty scum you'll ever run across.

During the impeachment wars, her husband, William B. Hamilton, was an editor at the Washington Post, and was believed to have been taking orders from the White House, which, it is surmised, is how wife Jane [how CONVENIENT that the last names are different!] got the call for the Linda Tripp hitpiece in the New Yorker in early 1998.

“Every accusation of sexual harassment must be believed. Right, Hillary?”

Like I told my adult son when the Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas hearings were going on and he asked me what I thought.
So, I told him, if a woman is being sexually harassed by her boss, when he leaves she DOES NOT follow him to his next job, she goes out with friends and has a drink and celebrates that he’s gone. That was the one of the biggest loads of garbage ever put out by the MSM.

The commie lib whores still pimping for the DNC. When HBO first started, it was worth a subscription to see recent movies after they stopped playing in the theaters. Then along came VHS and Beta. DVDs and Blu-Rays drove a nail in HBO’s coffin so the DemocRATS took control of it as a propaganda channel for commie libs. Kind of like Algore selling off his SCAM channel to Al Jazeera. I refuse to have HBO in my house.
