Robert Redford has signed on to play Dan Rather in Truth, a film based on the 2005 memoir Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power.
The book, written by Rather's producer Mary Mapes, centers on the firestorm that erupted in September of 2004 after Rather reported that George W. Bush had received special treatment while serving in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, a report that was based on documents that turned out to be forgeries. - See more at: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/robert-redford-play-dan-rather-717476#sthash.Y0QB620e.dpuf

Our undocumented democrap governor of Michigan loves giving Hollywood Libs our tax dollars to make straight toDVD movies here. He’d probably soil himself to get REDford here.

I think most Hollyweird studios and pro sports teams would be out of business without taxpayer support.
But legislators LOVE to brush up against the “players” in these glamor industries.

Why can’t a woman play Dan Rather? Isn’t it sexist to think that only a man can play a man? I’m thinking Rosie O’Donnell. Let’s just have Rosie O’Donnell play everyone. It would make everything simpler.
Why not have men play women? Imagine Brad Pitt portraying a woman going through labor. I’m thinking Academy Award for that.

Not to be a member of the grammar police but if we say a document is forged, there is an underlying assumption that an original document existed at one time. No proof has ever been presented in this case. So we all need to say, fabricated. The letter about Bush was fabricated.
FABRICATED!

Redford is an arrogant a$$hole just like Rather. How appropriate.
