We asked the question almost a month ago, now TIME magazine is on the story. TIME ran a story last week on the "Clinton Connection" to the new hit ABC TV show "Commander in Chief," which features Geena Davis playing the first women President. At the National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, Clinton told us she doesn't watch the program. Over 16 million people do watch the show each Tuesday night.
According to TIME, Capricia Marshall is a consultant to the show. She was Clinton's social secretary, and one of the writers is Steven Cohen. He was once a communications aide to the former First Lady.
Some conservatives call the show nothing more than a campaign ad for Clinton.
FYI
MIke
And why would she? It's a stupid premise -- a woman as President?
This and Michael Moore's "movies" are what campaign finance reform has brought us. Time for conservatives to start making movies.
Another reason the Dems, and McCain for some reason, pushed CFR. They control all the information outlets except the ads that are bought and CFR limits that. Were it not for AM radio and the intrnet you wouldn't know there was such a thing as a Republican or a conservative.
Oh, and I'm sure they'll get right to the bottom of it. </eyes rolling>
Not surprised. I thought it looked like a campaign ad for Hillary the first time I saw the ads for it.
If you can control information, you can control the people. Isn't it interesting that Hillary is behind efforts to tax/control/limit the internet?
I prefer "My Name Is Earl".
Funny as h3!!
Interesting - thanks for passing along. I can't bring myself to watch, just as I've never seen West Wing. Have you seen either show? Comments?
It's one of Hillary's many trial balloons.
I haven't seen this show on (but I don't watch much TV)...but let me guess...the woman was the VP to a republican president, but every policy position she takes is Left of democrat center (even though she is supposedly a republican). So, how close am I?
I've seen a few eps of the West Wing, mostly by accident. Its a well-written and well acted show, though obviously not my cup of tea. I can't really get too mad at it since at least the creator is honest and admits his show is a liberal fantasy (unlike the other 90% of TV shows and news programs).
I have no interest in the Geena Davis show on any level and have not seen it.
Well...it's 16 million Democrats who watch it...that is for sure. Funny enough the numbers have declined from a first episode viewing of 21.5 million down to 16 million. That is 5.5 million people who thought it sucked...just like a Hillary presidency would.
If we get that number down to 9 million by the end of the season....it will be as relevant as the West Wing during the 2000's...and we saw how effective that show was. Bush won election twice.
Rush did a big review of this the other day, maybe the Times was listening to him....
"Mackenzie Allen"
Hillary Clinton. Sort of rolls of fthe tongue the same way, dontcha think?
Most of the 16 million who watch the show think Geena Davis is the President ... a majority of them live in California.
"Earl", although crass at times, is the most original and best written show on television today.
Its lead in, "The Biggest Loser" is one of the better reality shows as well. No reason anyone should have to subject themselves to "Hillary for Prez", er, "Commander In Chief".
I would bet a few republicans and moderates watch it also. A lot of people, even in our own party, have no taste when it comes to TV
