What used to be a great news network is now little more than a PR arm of the Democratic Party. Now we learn that NBC is planning a mini-series on Hillary Clinton in time for the 2016 elections starring some actress named Diane Lane as The Great Woman Herself.

And who is Diane Lane and why was she chosen?
"What difference, at this point, does it make?"
Ah yes. The resemblance is remarkable. Those legs will look great in a pantsuit.
I can just envision how it will go. Imagine a scene in the White House with a bunch of nervous advisers-white men all- trying to tell Bill how to respond to the embassy bombings in Africa. Suddenly, Hillary walks into the room and calmly gives Bill the winning advice, and everything turns up roses (except for that aspirin factory in Sudan).
Imagine dramatic courtroom scenes, where Hillary, the greatest woman lawyer in the country, wins a case for the Rose Law Firm against corporate polluters who poisoned the air that was breathed by a five-year-old girl who died from cancer as a result.
Imagine Hillary dealing with the unspeakable pain of her husband's infidelities, but determined ultimately to keep the family together for the sake of the country.
Imagine endless scenes of Hillary jetting off to one world capital after another, speaking to world leaders, seeking peace here and there and everywhere. Why not use a little old Hollywood dramatic license and actually portray an actual peace deal brokered by Hillary, such as Israel and the Palestinians, perhaps?
Imagine Hillary as the secretary of state at three in the morning during the Benghazi attack communicating directly with Ambassador Stevens right up to the moment the line goes dead and she knows she has lost one of her best friends, giving orders and telling the army to send in the troops, only to be thwarted by nervous generals in the Pentagon. Imagine Hillary fearlessly spearheading the drive to catch and imprison the man responsible for the attack in Benghazi and other places-that film maker in LA.
How will Diane Lane ever do Hillary justice?
"Those messages from Libya never reached my desk."
And I can only wonder where the suits at NBC came up with the idea for this mini-series. Could it have been from your humble blogger-little ol' me? After all, I am the one who started the first Hillary mini-series, am I not? I have already produced one great story with three great sequels.
Note to NBC: Don't steal any of my scripts. You'll be hearing from my lawyer.

Gary, anything you can do to torpedo a Hillary Clinton candidacy will be of great benefit to our country, and also to the Democratic Party, which needs her like it needs the Wicked Witch of the West. I would have thought Julia Roberts would play Hillary -- and I don't like Roberts any better.
Siarlys--is Hill not far enough to the left to suit an old at least primarily socialist like you, or what?? Just curious.
Actually, I think that the "Progressive" insurance girl named Flo, would be a much better match to play Hillary. I like the Witch idea, but Flo would be a very good match. What do you think Siarlys?

How are they going to pad those pant suits for Lane?
Gary,
Good question. I am sure that Hollywood will come up with something

Left? Hillary isn't to the left AT ALL. Hillary is a liberal, and to old socialists like me, liberals are right wing lackeys of the bourgeoisie.
OK, enough exchange of stale rhetoric from the two of us. My primary critique of Hillary is one you will probably agree with.
In 1996, Bob Dole told the Republican National Convention "It doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes a family to raise a child." He was wrong, it takes both. Hillary Clinton, in the book Dole was taking a punch at, had posited that in the modern world, "government" IS the village it takes to raise a child. She was also wrong.
The village is a vast and somewhat spontaneous network of adults who form the context within which a child grows up and learns to become a human being. Government might help, or hurt, but government can never BE the village.
Ever read Alexis de Tocqueville? The capacity of Americans for free and voluntary association without any government involvement is one of our greatest strengths... and an old socialist like me values that tradition.
quid, Flo is annoying, but I would never compare her to Hillary. I'd vote for her for president before I'd vote for Hillary.
