Are you ready? Say it with me:

The failed coverup attempt by newsweek to help out the former president will be ignored in this production. Thanks Drudge!

That to me is the elephant in the livingroom.

Oh cool, and all the oh-so-smart demrat moms will take their darling daughters to see the movie. Afterall, Monica has become a celebrity. And celebrity is all that counts.
