Franken, Streisand to Play Clintons in CBS 'Biopic' (2003-10-21) -- In a surprise announcement today, CBS Chairman Les Moonves said his network's movie "The Reagans" will be followed by another presidential biopic, "The Clintons." Shooting has already commenced on a script that presents "a balanced view" of the Clinton years, similar to the unbiased presentation of Ronald and Nancy Reagan described in today's New York Times. Both biopics will run on CBS during the November ratings sweeps. Al Franken and Barbra Streisand will star as The Clintons, with Janeane Garofalo as Chelsea and Sean Penn, in a whimsical role, as...

The folks at CBS apparently hate Ronald Reagan so much that they're willing to go to any length to trash his legacy - even if it means fabricating events, making up quotes and imagining conduct that Reagan administration insiders say never took place. Too bad for the Tiffany network that decision-makers there are so agenda driven that they'd pass over a far more juicy story; where CBS writers wouldn't have to fabricate a single scene. Never mind Ron and Nancy. How about a movie depicting the real-life goings on behind the scenes at Bill and Hillary's White House - based...

Après Moi, Le Deluge: How Clinton Left Ticking Terror Time Bombs For Bush To Discover From: Off With Their Heads - Traitors, Crooks & Obstructionists In American Politics, Media, Business by Dick Morris As King Louis XV lay dying, he ruminated about the state of the pre-revolutionary French kingdom his son would soon inherit. Every-where he looked, he saw peril-the anger of the peasants, the arrogance of the nobility, the unfairness of the tax system. Sadly, he reflected that the young man who would become Louis XVI faced tough times. Old King Louis may not have known that his son...

<p>Yes, she's running for president. Is that good for the Democrats?</p> <p>There is not much mystery about the political ambition or political strategy of Hillary Rodham Clinton. She wants to be president. She ran for senator in New York in 2000 because the job would make her a more plausible candidate for president and because she preferred being a senator to being a former first lady. She journeyed methodically to all 62 counties in New York on a "listening tour" and learned about the special problems of upstate New York. Upstaters, like most Americans, love to be visited by celebrities, and her travels enabled her--as similar travels enabled Robert Kennedy in 1964--to win a near-majority in usually Republican upstate, which, together with her big majority in Democratic New York City, resulted in a solid statewide victory.</p>

The comedian George Carlin used to do this sketch about the seven words that could never be said on television. The sketch was adored by sniggering adolescents of all ages, but is now sadly obsolete – thanks to HBO, the words on Carlin’s list are routinely broadcast. Now we have different taboos, and high atop the list is the ban on the word “Christmas.” So it took some nerve for President Bush to give the speech he did at the lighting of the National Tree on the Ellipse Thursday evening: “With the lighting of the National Christmas Tree, we observe...

The Clinton Curse By Lowell Ponte FrontPageMagazine.com | November 7, 2002 THEY ONCE WORSHIPPED THE TWO AS SAVIORS AND DEMIGODS. But in the chilly dawn that followed Tuesday’s crushing election defeats, Democrats have begun to open their eyes to the devil’s bargain they made with Bill and Hillary Clinton. Trailing clouds of self-glorification, Bill had swept across Florida on the weekend before the vote to redeem the sagging campaign of Bill McBride. Slick Willy’s magic wand had lost its potency, however, and McBride went down in flames. In the end he drew only the same lame 43 percent of the...

Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator,now comes under this fancy "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets re-elected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies. If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that? WE DO! It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York....
