Too much information confuses the he** out of the search...try one or two important key words when searching, and sort by post time...this is one case where less is better :)

I hope Fox puts 24 opposite it so it gets cancelled quickly. The african-american actor who played the president is back. Now there's an actor with a commanding presence.

This should really help ABC's ratings. /sarcasm

No wonder they can't find anything better to do a story on than Paula Abdul's sex life. I thought they told us that your sex life was a "private matter". At least, when it was Bill Clinton in the oval office that's what they said.

Gee, I wonder if Geena Davis will play a president who is pro-choice or pro-life. I wonder if she'll be for or against affirmative action, for or against gay marriage, for or against the death penalty... The suspense is killing me!

Wouldn't Surprise me if Geena Davis' character has this complete name:

How about THELMA LOUISE CLINTON!
