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.

She can’t remember her own GJ testimony??? Typical clintonite type of request...She obviously can’t remember the story she told then and is afraid to tell a different story that doesn’t match the first one, lest she be retried again...

Not sure what your point is, but as far as I am concerned watching Charlize Theron’s portrayal of Eileen Wuornos was a jaw dropping, absolutely astonishingly brilliant performance.

If her performance in that film was not great acting, then there has never been great acting in any film.
