Here comes the Whitewashing of Whitewater...and just in time for her Heinous's coronation.
Another movie to skip.
Is this the guy?
And still no film about Monicagate. A story with sex, power and politics, involving the president of the United States, but Hollywood isn't interested. Curious!
I'm no fan of Susan McDougal, and I think she was definitely covering up the Clintons' malfeasance, whether out of loyalty or fear. But I also think that sending her to jail for 18 months for refusing to testify was one of Ken Starr's worst PR blunders. He turned her into a martyr and made himself look like an out-of-control Inspector Javert. It might have been within his power to do it, but Americans don't take well to the idea of locking citizens in jail for a year and a half without a trial, just to force them to talk. It did more to help rally the Clintonites than it did to harm the Clintons, and now here it comes again in glittery, dramatic form via Hollywood. And what do you bet it will be released just in time for the 2008 election, to remind us all of how eeeeeeeevil the Republicans are and how unfair they were to poor, innocent Hillary?
No matter how much spin they put on it, I don't see how dredging up Whitewater is going to help the clintons very much. I should think they'd rather bury it. And the press is very good at that.
Wdiow of Jim McDougal, who died in prison under questionable circumstances.

She'd only be credible playing McDougal, if they made her up to look like the serial killer Aileen Wuornos.
Hollywood promotes a culture of lies. I don't know what we can do with these people, other than shun them and their products.
Don't have anything to do with this fellow Haggis, or his films.
