ABC insiders deny there's any connection between real-life presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and their new TV show "Commander-in-Chief" - where Geena Davis makes her debut tonight as America's first woman president.
But it turns out the show's lead writer is a longtime Clinton campaign insider who held a top job in Hillary's press office.
"Writer Steve Cohen used to work for her in the 1990s, serving as the then-first lady's deputy communications director," reports the Village Voice.
"I have no doubt she is capable, qualified, and ready to be the president of the United States should she choose to run," Hillary's scriptwriter tells the paper.
In fact, Mr. Cohen goes all the way back with the Clintons to their very first presidential campaign.
"I was Governor Clinton's first campaign volunteer in 1991, fresh out of college, took that journey to the White House and spent two years working for President Clinton in his press office," he told National Public Radio last year.
The "Commander-in-Chief" writer followed that gig with a three-and-a-half year stint as Mrs. Clinton's deputy communications director.
In fact, Cohen is so tight with Hillary's top brass that he once shared an apartment with the top Democrat's chief fundraising coordinator, Patti Solis Doyle.
In an interview with Newsweek in 1992, Cohen marveled at the exalted positions he and Doyle had achieved.
"You're doing the scheduling for Hillary Clinton and I'm flying around the country with a person who could be the next president of the United States," he recalled telling her. "Give me a break!"
Despite Cohen's deep Clinton ties, "Commander-in-Chief" creator Rod Lurie tells the Voice that he modeled his female president not on Hillary, but on Susan Lyne, the former head of ABC who now runs the Martha Stewart empire.
As for Cohen, he insists: "We support the notion of a female president from either side of the aisle."
Prediction:
This show is such a trainwreck of liberal hollyweird bias & delusion and will be cancelled after 1 season. The ratings will suck for the second half of the year, but ABC will continue it as a paid advertisement for the DNC.
Tomorrow you will hear advertisments on ABC and radio declaring this show was a hit. Its actual viewership numbers will say otherwise.
Put on your shower-caps and head for the showers sheeple... get ready for the high-sudsing cycle on the MSM brainwashing channel.
But it turns out the show's lead writer is a longtime Clinton campaign insider who held a top job in Hillary's press office.
"Writer Steve Cohen used to work for her in the 1990s, serving as the then-first lady's deputy communications director," reports the Village Voice.
Maybe she should run next ... she's as qualified as Hildy to be President. Maybe more, she's done jail time.
Fat chance. The Dems will probably counter that "Rush Limbaugh IS equal time", as Rush has stated correctly, so often.
I like Martha....
I always thought that the show would be a Hillary for Prez propoganda primer. Of course the Geena Davis character is a Democrat. NBC could run the West Wing for 300 years and a Democrat would always be President.
There is so much liberal propoganda coming out of Hollywood recently it's not funny.
-Cider House Rules = abortion propoganda
-The Day After Tomorrow = global warming propoganda
-Kingdom of Heaven = anti-Christian propoganda
-Da Vinci Code = anti-Christian propoganda (and I'm very disappointed Tom Hanks is in the lead role)
Her career should of been over a long time ago considering how many bombs she's been involved in on tv and films.
Long kiss goodnight, earth girls are easy, cuttroat island, genna davis show? All of them total disasters.
She's a prime example of the saying, "In hollywood, it isn't who you know, but who you blow."
Anti MSM, Anti-Hillary Sarcasm Torpedo ARMED. FIRE!!
Well, that just proves it can't be about Hillary, then.
I mean, Bill got stroked, and stroked, and stroked LOTS of times in the Oval Office and it didn't make Hillary the President.
Cheers!
When I saw the commerical, I turned and told my wife "a woman can't be President".....
I have a black eye now, and I am getting used to the shed...
There they go again. Wanting people to believe myth is reality.
That's too bad; that show people and people like Hitlery who should be convicted and sitting in a jail cell should have the opportunity to scam people for their own perverted agendas.
Anyone plan on watching this POS?
Yeah right...sure, I believe you (not).
I used to tolerate her when my wife watched her show. But when she tried to hang the blame for her insider trades on her broker and his assistant, that was the end of it for me. She's an elitist snob on a par with Leona Helmsly. My wife still watches her...but I leave the room.

HIllary Insider? I know whats inside 'er. Pure evil.
I've been seeing promos for this for at least 6 months. ABCrap is pushing this one hard.
If you can't fix it...
