LITTLE ROCK — Susan McDougal of Camden, a friend and former business partner of President Clinton’s who became well-known in the late 1990s for refusing to cooperate with a special Whitewater prosecutor, on Tuesday sought to have her federal grand jury testimony unsealed.

“There’s going to be a movie produced about Susan’s role in this [the Whitewater investigation], and there’s some information in her grand jury testimony that’s relevant to that, and Susan and I think the public ought to have aright to know about it,” said her attorney, Bobby McDaniel of Jonesboro.

McDaniel said the testimony, as well as related court pleadings, if unsealed, “will be embarrassing to our government, frankly. ... Most reasonably minded people will think it’s ridiculous.”

McDaniel noted that his son, Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, who is a state co-coordinator of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, isn’t involved in the project.

In an ambitious attempt at creative casting, Susan McDougal will be portrayed by Charlize Theron. Personally, I think Britney Spears would be a more apt choice.

They’re remaking The Happy Hooker?

Wait: didn’t she go to jail expressly to prevent the release of any such information?

[GOP_Proud]

Actually, I’m pretty confused too. I thought she was in jail because she WOULD NOT testify.

she went to jail to avoid Arkancide

Was in college with Susan. We were part of the same drama team. She was flakey back then, too.

You can't avoid me...
Heh heh heh

I can’t believe no one had that username until now! lol

Sounds like she took her drama coaching overly serious!

I can’t believe no one had that username until now! lol

Couldn't believe my luck when I got the domain name, too!

[Nachum]

Ah well, it is not long before she commits Arkancide.

That's the way I remember it. She could not testify truthfully because it would get her and the Clinton's in deep trouble. Her repeated statements "Ken Star wanted me to Lie" in answer to why she did not testify were interesting logic that was bought by the MSM. If she testified honestly she would go to jail, so that darn Star was forcing her to lie to stay out of trouble.

[Jackson57]

Exactly. She was a drama queen.

“There’s going to be a movie produced about Susan’s role in this [the Whitewater investigation], and there’s some information in her grand jury testimony that’s relevant to that, and Susan and I think the public ought to have aright to know about it,”

And the only reason why they're cooperating with this movie is because it will be a fictionalized version of events which makes Ken Starr the villan and her the heroine, right?

[TommyDale]

One of the most staged photo ops in history

[subterfuge]

When it’s expedient for Susan she wants the information release. When it’s expedient for the WHOLE COUNTRY, mmmm...not so much.

Selfish little toy of Slick Willie and the Hilliary, she was.

[Ole Okie]

Susan, I hate to break this to you, but your story is so, so dated!

The new star is Plame. And even she is beginning to flame out.

[Yo-Yo]

Didn't do Jim McDougal much good.

[RightGeek]

Yeah, but it has been retitled as “Diary of Dumb Slut”
