This kind of bio-pic used to appear after a person was dead.

Now, one cannot help by consider, this movie is an attempt to shape public opinion. Who could ask the Queen of England to give up the monarchy, just for instance.... after Helen Mirren played her so tenderly? Who didn't feel more sympathetic towards the Queen? Some of us still think a monarchy only makes sense to the tourist trade, but since that movie, that sentiment is no longer so publicly expressed in England.

Let's see what this movie does for Secretary of State Clinton's public image. Will it make a 2012 run for the Presidancy more possible?

@2bfair...You need a friend. Any friend.

[yellowdoggie]

She needs a hug. From anyone! lol

[PresidentRobertBooth]

Hope Davis is a fine actress.

[veritas2u]

The stress of being married to Bill Clinton has probably had some impact on her facial appearance. Can you duplicate that?

[2Bfair]

Bill Clinton's problem may be the stress of being married to Hillary.

[lbicomber]

Really, what's the cause of your problems/

Besides all of the mommy issues ...

[samjer]

Being married to Rush has got you a little bitter 2bunfair.

[yellowdoggie]

This is genius casting!

[Gladys1963]

Dennis Quaid is Bill Clinton:

That is also very good casting. But it's a little ironic that he was also cast as a GWB clone in American Dreamz.

Hope Davis plays Hillary in the biographical film about the Clintons called "The Special Relationship."

Does anyone know who will be playing Harsha Scott, Connie Hamzy, Marilyn Jo Jenkins, Paula Jones, Linda Jones, Sally Perdue, Kathleen Wiley, Gennifer Flowers, Dolly Kyle Browning, Juanita Broaddrick, Monica Lewinsky, Susan McDougal, numerous White House staffers (wink, wink), Eleanor Mondale, Denise Rich, Beth Dozoretz, Belinda Stronach, Segolene Royal, Gina Gershon, that girl in the bar in, that divorcee neighbor in Chappaqua, N.Y", Andrea Rincón, and the "dancer" in Argentina?

[lbicomber]

No one.

Did you ever notice how the Clinton-haters love to put just just a touch of truth in their otherwise baseless, rumor-based accusations? They think it makes them sound more believable, ...

... but it just exposes their jealous, bitter hatred.

[2Bfair]

"jealous, bitter hatred" sounds like Hillary doing a news conference when she's asked about Bill. Too funny

[2Bfair]

btw, there is so much more than "a touch" of truth in it, or you would not bother to attack me constantly. Thanks for the support.

[placpje]

BARELY a touch at that.

BTW - In addition to reading comprehension, a basic logic course would be helpful to you.

[all4hill]

Hope she does a good job, she needs to.

[Smirk]

She's good at what she does and seems unlikely to present HRC as a caricature.

[2Bfair]

how would you not do Hillary as a characture? cackle

[samjer]

I hope so too.

[2Bfair]

of cour$se you do. Clinton "loyalty" is not pricele$$, right?
