I believe “Wag the Dog” was so close to the actual truth, it made me sick to watch it in the theater.
Clinton and his cronies were exactly what was shown. The movie was the whole lot of them, hiding in the open, thinking no one would believe the truth if shown and letting this audacity serve to silence conservatives. After all, if a conservative made any remark about Clinton that was also shown in the movie, they had the cover that the conservative was trying to smear Clinton through the movie, which would seem crazy to any neutral people witnessing the circumstance.
I rented it and watched about a half hour of it then had to stop.....spooky and scary true.
The book had been written about Bush 41 but the feature was rushed through production in something like 6 weeks (which some plotlines merely discussed by the characters sitting in a “war room” talking the viewer through scenarios). They managed to get it out as Fornigate was breaking.
