Did the movie “Wag the Dog” hurt Clinton?


Clinton wasn’t up for relection when “Wag the Dog” came out. One thing that did hurt the Dems in 1994, was “Forrest Gump”, with its portrayal of the anti-war Left. I can’t prove it, but I really believe that movie helped stoke the fire that gave the Republicans their Congressional majority. It was simple Forrest Gump vs. Slick Willie, and Forrest won.
