Excerpt -

LITTLE ROCK — Susan McDougal of Camden, a friend and former business partner of President Clinton’s who became well-known in the late 1990s for refusing to cooperate with a special Whitewater prosecutor, on Tuesday sought to have her federal grand jury testimony unsealed.

“There’s going to be a movie produced about Susan’s role in this [the Whitewater investigation], and there’s some information in her grand jury testimony that’s relevant to that, and Susan and I think the public ought to have aright to know about it,” said her attorney, Bobby McDaniel of Jonesboro.

McDaniel said the testimony, as well as related court pleadings, if unsealed, “will be embarrassing to our government, frankly. ... Most reasonably minded people will think it’s ridiculous.”

McDaniel noted that his son, Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, who is a state co-coordinator of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, isn’t involved in the project.

I think Rosie O’Donnell would be the perfect actress to play the part of Susan McDougal!

What’s wrong with having Barbara Streisand play her?

Or Joan Rivers?

The producers want to cast Kevin Bacon as Jim McDougal.

Who will play the role of Bill Clinton?

Whitewater details needed for movie on her life, she says

Susan, Susan, Susan. If the full details were released the movie would not be about your life.

Was in college with Susan. We were part of the same drama team. She was flakey back then, too.

I met the McDougals once, back in the days when she was wearing hot pants and riding horses in TV commercials.

They need to unseal the files for a movie but not for a campaign?

Screw her. Either the public has a right to know or we don’t. We DON’T have a pressing need to have her filtered take on it.

We saw in Monica’s case that the Clintons PAID people to lie under oath for them and encouraged them to do so.

We know the technique they used to avoid conviction for their crimes.

In an ambitious attempt at creative casting, Susan McDougal will be portrayed by Charlize Theron. Personally, I think Britney Spears would be a more apt choice.

I dunno. Charlize Theron is an amazing actress who did a pretty amazing job portraying a female criminal lowlife in "Monster":

Sounds like she was more scared of the Clintons than Ken Star. The G. Gordon Liddy of Whitewatergate.

By the time the entertainment industry gets through with this one, it will indeed be Saint Susan.

You really have to wonder....what idiot would go to jail...for Bill Clinton...rather than provide testimony? Its amazing to watch people as they stand up and side with Bill over and over and over...for nothing.

Re: Charlize Theron

Please let us put “acting” in it’s proper perspective. The epitome of an “acting” career is an Academy award. It separates those truly talented people that have spent a lifetime honing their “craft”.

Tatum O’Neil won an Oscar for her FIRST film role in Paper Moon at TEN years of age.

Haing S. Ngor won his Oscar for taking time off from his medical practice so he could make his FIRST film called The Killing Fields.

So for the life of me I don’t understand the greatest of oxymorons, a talented actor

It’s a great website, but I feel compelled to warn everyone:
Don’t go there if you have anything else to do that day (or that week). :)
