There's certainly some movie potential in the reigns of other Presidents, but the Bill Clinton story seems to me like the most obvious choice for a movie. If it were really about sheer entertainment potential, we'd have seen a <em>Clinton</em> years ago. Correct TinaBanina.

Bush when we’ve never gotten a movie on Bill Clinton.”

Doesn’t Wag the Dog sort of qualify?

Or George H.W. Bush… or Ronald Reagan… or Jimmy Carter… or Gerald Ford… or Lyndon Johnson… or any president, really, besides Lincoln, Nixon, JFK, and now W.

Bush when we've never gotten a movie on Bill Clinton. Well, okay, I can believe it given Hollywood's love of all things Democrat, but come on... a President commits perjury during a sexual harassment lawsuit against him and the only reason the nation finds out about it is because the other woman never had the dress cleaned? That's a movie that practically writes itself. I just can’t believe we’re getting a movie on George W. Bush when we’ve never gotten a movie on Bill Clinton.

Will the right wingers praise him if he gives the movie a C or lower? Will they accuse him of being Un-American if it gets a better review than An American Carol? Will lefties accuse him of being a Bush stooge should he give it a bad review? I’m just looking forward to the reaction Eric’s review will get.
