Get Ready for the All-Hail-Hillary Movies
National Review ^ | July 29, 2013 | John Fund

Posted on 07/29/2013 5:41:41 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

I wasn’t surprised to learn that sometime before the 2016 election, NBC will be releasing a four-hour miniseries about Hillary Clinton starring Academy Award nominee Diane Lane. What did surprise me was that the series will cover none of her life before the Monica Lewinsky scandal, which took place five years into her husband’s second term as president and when Hillary was already 51 years old. It’s as if her first half-century will be airbrushed away, along with the many scandals that dogged her in those decades.

While the series will still have a lot of ground to cover — impeachment and the “vast right-wing conspiracy” she suspected, her successful 2000 Senate race, her loss to Barack Obama in the 2008 primaries, her time as secretary of state and her role in the Benghazi debacle — it’s striking that so much rich material will be excluded even before footage is discarded on the cutting-room floor.

I am surprised how many people I encounter who think Richard Nixon was impeached and Bill CLinton was not.

“They should lose a fortune on these ventures.”

I’m sure they don’t need to worry about losing money. At a minimum, China and Saudi Arabia will cover costs. Doubtless, they will also cover a nice profit.

Don’t know if they have a title yet for the movie, but I’d like to suggest: “What Difference Does It Make?”

I’m really hoping that someone can convince Ann Coulter to wear a wig and a fat suit, and do a parody short of the Hillary movie before it is released.

Posting that thing to the Internet a few weeks before the Hillary movie is released could just suck the wind out of it, by reminding everyone of what a nasty, foul mouthed villainous monster she really is.

Barry the Narcissist isn’t going to like having to share the limelight ...... this is going to get “interesting” from that perspective as disappointment in him grows and the Dems/Libs/Progs shift their attention from the First Black President to the First Woman President. Barry is in it for himself and only himself ... getting her elected in 2016 is not on his radar screen so I expect some major temper tantrums of some sort or another from him when the “adoration shift” well and truly occurs (it is starting now).

I tell you.. the Clinton years felt like they’d never end. January 2001 couldn’t come soon enough. Ugh.

Her history of criminal conduct goes all the way back to her removal from a Watergate committee.

That should be the starting point in a timeline of Hillary's lawlessness.

Five years into his second term?
I know the Clinton presidency was interminable, but I didn’t know it was that bad!

Reminds me of when during the Iraq war, Hollywood made one anti-war movie after another. Each one an expensive flop.

Each one propaganda for the cause.

“How old is she now?”

Not sure but I am a man going on seventy and if I thought I looked as old as she does I would go into a fit of extreme depression.

In this modern IDIOCRACY I would not be surprised if Jamie Foxx appeared as a serious candidate. The only thing that WOULD surprise me is if someone who makes sense appears to have a chance.

You’re correct of course.

A guy named Baraq Hussein had to be one of the most improbable POTUS candidates ever....and he won....twice.

You and I must be related, I have commented before on FR concerning that same subject. It is amazing how many have that exactly assbackwards. I think it has something to do with dishonest media coverage. Clinton himself has actually been preserved in video saying, “They TRIED to impeach me”, as if he had not actually been impeached. Apparently a lot of people assume that Nixon WAS impeached because he left office, they forget that he resigned before there was any vote on possible impeachment. The same ones think Clinton was NOT impeached because he refused to do the decent thing and resign as Nixon did and the Senate lacked the backbone to vote to remove him. I have never been a Nixon defender but at least Tricky had a sense of shame, something Slick clearly never had.
