John Lithgow as Slick Willie actually sounds entertaining.

She Is going to run, probably in 2024, but she is going to run.

“Metcalf could do barking Hillary pretty good, I would imagine.”

Her performances are uneven. She was great as Mary Cooper (Sheldon’s mom) but I didn’t care at all for her on Roseanne.

They must produce a show so revolting that it closes early.

Sorta like “Springtime for Hitler”.

There was this off-, off-Broadway play written by a George Costanza.

He mimed cooking, the actor. Pepe was his name.

“Hillary is done.”

As soon as they get a better handle on Hillary’s email scandal, Hillary will lose her security clearance meaning she cannot run again.

You don’t need a security clearance to run for or to be president. You don’t need a background check to run for or to be president.

Bill Clinton overhauled the system so that the president gets to decide who gets security clearances for obvious reasons.

Obama certainly benefitted from that. How many of his cronies would have passed the lowest level background checks?

Yeah. Reading the book “Unlimited Access” by Gary Aldrich was a real eye-opener.
