'House of Cards' Actress: Senior Obama Official Told Me Reporters "Sleep with Sources"
Reaganite Republican ^ | 19 February 2014 | Reaganite Republican

An actress on the Netflix original (hit) series 'House of Cards' says that in the course of doing research for the show -a story about a fictitious congressman, staring Kevin Spacey, and based on a BBC miniseries-  she was told by a "senior White House official that -as on the show- reporters DO sleep with their (married) sources... at least in this putrid regime.
Robin Wright -who plays Claire Underwood, wife of Spacey's congressman character on the show- said that in the course of researching her role, she learned some surprising things (to her, anyway) about what goes on in D.C. 

According to Wright, a "senior persion: in the Obama administration told her that reporters sleep with their sources, among other things
(I got $100 says it's Biden!).


Her conclusion? "D.C. is more corrupt than Hollywood. It really is. It’s more sleazy than Hollywood-
how much infidelity goes on." 


'Sleeping with sources' has been central theme in the plot of the show...

Charlize Theron can't take her eyes off rumoured boyfriend Sean Penn as she sits beside him flirting at his charity gala


She made Sean get rid of his gun collection.

Well she had a good argument - with all the hired armed security guards they have, they don't need to get their hands dirty themselves. That's for the little people.

Besides which, would you trust Sean Penn with a gun...???

"Yep, once married Penn and her most famous role was Buttercup."

I always think of her as "Jenny" from Forrest Gump...

Gaining the world but losing the soul in the process. Such a deal....Follywood and Decaying Cesspool are major slimey pit centers to shun and detest.

It's already been exposed how many members of the media sleep with members of the Obama administration. There IS collusion between this administration and the major news outlets in America.

The mindset of Hollywood actresses who hook up with commie sympathizers is beyond me.
