Time Explores Clinton Connection to ABC Show

[Behind Liberal Lines]

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.

[N. Theknow]

I haven't seen it but after reading this thread I am definitely going to put it on my "To-Do List."

Just after "Mash testicles flat with sledge hammer."

"Mash testicles flat with sledge hammer."

LOL ... very funny.

[beansox]

How long before Makenzie sleeps with one of her interns?? LOL~

"Mackenzie Allen" "Hillary Clinton" both share 3 syllables in the 1st name with a "e" sound at end, last name shares 2 syllables with a "n" at the end.

Pure Coincidence (dripping sarcasm)

[jw777]

In Kind contribution!

[lotsaguns]

I wish I could remember which columnist it was a couple weeks ago who noted that the Geena Davis character's name in the show "sounds...poetically like 'Hillary Clinton'".

Mack-en-zie Al-len

Hil-lar-y Clin-ton

I don't think it's a coincidence. Not after reading this article.

I understand the ball-peen hammer is the official testicle smashing implement of choice these days.

Time Explores Clinton Connection to ABC Show

The "Commander in Chief" TV show has already hired the SamBurglar, in my opinion, this is how Sam Berger will be repaid for stealing classified documents and the $50k fine he has to pay.

[upchuck]

Time for conservatives to start making movies.

Ping!

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Will the Secret Service on the show let the CIC drive her own car?

I sure hope that it isn't another cherry 1966 Thunderbird. What a waste.

I have to agree, when the show announced Berger as a foreign policy adviser, well, too many ties to the Clinton's.

Yep. They can bring Monica out of retirement to give it that special Hollywood touch.

[HHFi]

No need to ever watch this tripe again. "House" returns to the air tonight with a new episode!!!

[libs_kma]

This POS will be yesterday's news when 24 starts back up.

Now, now, we don't know that Hillary ate at the same table Bill did.

Her beau's name will be something like Landon Johnson, and in a shocking....shocking, I tell you episode that triples the network's ratings overnight, poor Johnson is beheaded after stumbling into a meeting between the Big Mac and a less than tolerant contingent of "Insurgents". After the murder, Macinton slips into a Burka and makes her escape.

[H. Paul Pressler IV]

I wonder if there are any Republican Consultants on the Show?

[MHGinTN]

I'm writing stories suitable for such screen plays but not a soul is interested. Hollywood and the BM (big media) control the content directions, for the most part. And they're making billions with the current fair so why would they divert from their service to the denegration of moral and ethical life?

the principal being more worthless even than its phantom proxy, both alike unsubstantial, and the former shapeless to boot

--Samuel Taylor Coleridge

For the most part, missus clinton operates in absentia, by proxy.

You rarely see her. You almost never hear her. (Think of it as the hillary! 2000 'listening tour' extended ad nauseam.)

And in those rare instances where she does actually speak, the 'event' is always prearranged, prescripted, prepeopled and preprogrammed by the clinton political machine.

If you stop and think about it, the American voter hasn't ever had the opportunity to see, hear, examine the actual merchandise...much less contemplate the return policy.

There are three principal reasons for this clinton scheme.

1. To conceal the hillary dud factor. (See SCHEMA PINOCCHIO: how the clintons are handling the hillary dud factor)
   
2. To shield missus clinton from questions concerning clinton corruption, clinton abuse of women, clinton abuse of power, clinton utter failure to confront terrorism, etc.
   
3. To allow missus clinton to pose as a moderate without overly enraging her radical leftist comrades (Cindy Sheehan excepted).

 

PROXY SQUARED

The clintons, as is their wont, are now taking this proxy scheme to even more outrageous extremes. The latest: an actual hillary clinton proxy presidency, populated on both sides of the camera by assorted rodham and clinton ex-staffers, sycophants and would-be felons, witness the latest hire.

'Commander-in-Chief,' a show that sets out to crown a 'queen,' instead exposes the kitschy simplemindedness of Hollywood fantasy and the special sway and shortsightedness of the pathologic ego.

It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem.

G. K. Chesterton

Reviews of "Commander-in-Chief" mislead; they suggest that this new ABC offering, this electuary of suds and psychologizing, is optional for missus clinton, that Rod Lurie's latest clinton agitprop is nothing more than the icing on missus clinton's inaugural cake.

The reviews miss the point of the show, (i.e., the show is not optional but necessary (though hardly sufficient) if clinton is to prevail), because the reviews fail to identify missus clinton's problem in the first place. And circular reasoning compounds the error.

THE PROBLEM

While America appears not to be ready for a female president under any circumstances, the post-9/11 realities pose special problems for a female presidential candidate. Add to these the problems unique to missus clinton. The reviews make the mistake of focusing on the problems of the generic female presidential candidate running during ordinary times.

These are not ordinary times. America is waging the global War on Terror; the uncharted territory of asymmetric netherworlds is the battlefield; the enemy is brutal, subhuman; the threat of global conflagration is real.

Defeating the enemy on the battlefield isn't sufficient. For America to prevail, she must also defeat a retrograde, misogynous, troglodyte mindset. To successfully prosecute the War on Terror, it is essential that the collective patriarchal islamic culture perceives America as politically and militarily strong. Condi Rice excepted, this requirement presents an insurmountable hurdle for any female presidential candidate, and especially missus clinton, historically antimilitary, forever the pitiful victim, and, according to Dick Morris, "the biggest dove in the clinton administration."

It is ironic that had the clintons not failed utterly to fight terrorism... not failed to take bin Laden from Sudan... not failed repeatedly to decapitate a nascent, still stoppable al Qaeda... the generic female president as a construct would still be viable... missus clinton's obstacles would be limited largely to standard-issue clintonisms: corruption, abuse, malpractice, malfeasance, megalomania, rape and treason... and, in spite of Juanita Broaddrick, or perhaps because of her, Rod Lurie would be reduced to perversely hawking the "First Gentleman" instead of the "Commander-in-Chief."

If it's got puppets in it I'll buy it.

[MHGinTN]

No puppets, Sorry. My most recent novel deals with IVF, embryonic stem cell 'cures', and abortion exploitation. Central character is an Episcopal Priest in a medium sized Appalachian city. The story opens and closes with Congressional hearings regarding the life of embryos and unborn children and the exploitation of same in our current twisted cultural malaise.
