“Every grand expotition starts with a first step.”
The 4 hour (!) documentary on Hillary Clinton which premiered at Sundance covered her most excellent expotition.
You’ve come a long war, baby.
Look at you now: all growed up and kvetching like a pro at the Sundance Film Festival.
Yes, Hillary, the documentary, debuted at Sundance yesterday to raves by her rabid fans who couldn’t wait to hear their First Female President provide more excuses for why she didn’t really lose the election - Donald Trump and the Russians stole it. Nanette Burstein, director of the - yikes! - 4 hour documentary covering Hilz life from birth to premature death, provided Hillary ample opportunity to continue her whining and explaining tour. Here’s the trailer if you’ve had plenty of coffee:
Never before has Hillary been such a sympathetic character, so vulnerable, so human – nah, I’m kidding, it’s the same old Hillary. According to the Salt Lake Tribune:
It’s a largely flattering portrait…the filmmaker said she is grateful for “how willing Secretary Clinton was to share her story on such an honest, human level, and give me the time and the trust. Not be worried about how I was going to put this together.”
“Largely flattering,” well there’s a surprise. But puh-leeze Nanette! When was the last time a Clinton was worried about what kind of publicity/coverage they were going to get from anyone in the entertainment/media complex? Until Trump came along they didn’t even know negative press existed.
Clinton made suggestions for people Burstein might want to interview, but Burstein decided who to talk to and who she would include in the film. The list includes Clinton’s husband; her daughter, Chelsea Clinton; a long list of friends and aides…
Oh stop it, for heavens sake.
and just one Republican opponent — former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) — in large part because, according to Burstein, most Republicans declined to be interviewed.
I said stop it.
Clinton said that, while doing the interviews, it was “humbling” to recognize that “I have to bear a lot of the responsibility” for [ed. - wait for it!] how she has been “mischaracterized and misperceived.”
Shoot me now. No wait…just kidding!
Clinton offers unflinching views of herself, her husband and her political opponents — including both Trump and Bernie Sanders.
She was a bit rough on poor old Bernie:
'He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him,' Clinton says in the documentary. 'Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician.
'It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it,' she adds.
Welcome to our world kiddo.
As for Trump, she drew a parallel between him and, well, Hitler of course.
“Historically, most authoritarians were elected to start with,” she said. “A guy wins — mostly, usually, always a guy — and then he takes over and then he starts manipulating the press. And then he starts manipulating what reality is. And then he starts undermining the rule of law.”
More projection: oddly, that applies more to the Democrat presidential candidate roster than it does President Trump. Glenn Reynolds points out how easy it is to fact check this allegation:
Hillary Clinton is here with a four-episode documentary for Hulu, looking back on her career, including past mistakes and regrets. Impressive as her resume is, nothing can make up for not campaigning in Michigan and Wisconsin, a strategic failure that may have been enough to get Trump elected. She won the popular vote by 3 million votes, and elected Trump because those 3 million were in the wrong place. She needed about 20,000 votes in the upper Midwest, and chose not to campaign there. Making a movie about it can’t make up for that. It’s over. How can we miss her if she won’t go away?
Don’t you hate it when people start blaming you for your own failure? Time to hang it up Hilz, once you were young and capable of sparring with the best, but now you are six.
"Pooh began to feel a little more comfortable, because when you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it."

And people think she’s not running for Prez! She is!
People don’t pay attention to her? Someone paid (and cash!) enough to get this made. Now she is going to let a fictionalized virtual version of herself do all the heavy “lifting”.
Yeah, I read someplace this was being produced. I can hardly wait to NOT watch it. Wonder if people were leaving in droves to NOT watch it. Of course it is ‘sundance’ so who knows. Much weeping involved?
“””And people think she’s not running for Prez! She is!”””””
Maybe in her own mind she is running. NOBODY cares what she thinks.
Will it get dishonorable detention..unlike Cankles.
“..running for Prez! She is!”
A book or a Docu a year before election = running.

In other news, there’s a crippling shortage of tomatoes in the area of the Sundance film fest..
And people think she’s not running for Prez! She is!
**************
The only questions are when and how? So far the race is going exactly as she hoped with a very weak slate of candidates and no clear front runner. She herself may not know when the opening will come along but she’s certain that it will.
She’s either going to insert herself into the race somehow or work out way to broker a deal at the convention. If I had to make a precise prediction I would say its right after any significant showing of strength by Bernie. She would jump in claiming she had to do it to “save the party” from him. The ground work is already being laid for this.
The only “documentary” on her that I am interested in is her autopsy video.
Weinstein? How would I have known? End of story.
I can tell you what that will say:
No heart.
Fatty liver.
Enlarged bowel that makes up it’s own feces.
It would have a lot more credibility if it starred Christopher Guest, Eugene Levy, Fred Willard, and Catherine O’Hara waring a fat suit as Cankles.
I have trouble with that word, too.
Agree!
No, she's just keeping her brand out there and getting the attention she craves.
She still has fans who will watch the movie, but the party gave her every advantage in 2016 and she couldn't pull it off.
Nobody thinks she'd do better in 2020.
Those thing you listed only matter to us.
Running does not mean winning either the nomination or the general election.
If she’s breathing she’s running.
