Well, GoldenEye was about starting a war for media ratings, so I guess GoldenRod will be about starting a war to distract from political scandal.

Movie stars have played presidents for a long time. Now we will get to see a president play a movie star. As the line between reality and fantasy continues to fade.....

Maybe Klintoon can play an evil madman who is plotting to take over the world.

After all, Hollywood likes type casting.
