The Contender. Yeah, I remember that POS movie.
Wife and I tried to watch it on TV until she said, “Stop yelling!”
“Gary Oldman as Rep. Sheldon Runyon (R-IL). Runyon is a conservative Republican who leads the attack on the nominee, namely by leaking rumors on the Internet, overseeing accusations of prostitution, and challenging the nominee’s liberal position on abortion. He is the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee that oversees Sen. Hanson’s confirmation.”
Jeff Bridges and Gary Oldman joined my Hollyweirdo list.
Everything you wrote is accurate. My point is: as bad as The Contender was, it was Citizen Kane in comparison to Miss Sloan!
