Ark. Hosts Premiere of Bill Clinton Film

Tue Jun 15,10:57 PM ET

By CARYN ROUSSEAU, Associated Press Writer

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - More than a thousand people turned out Tuesday night for the world premiere of "The Hunting of the President," a film claiming to expose "the 10-year campaign to destroy Bill Clinton."

The 90-minute documentary re-creates interviews conducted for the best-selling book of the same name by Joe Conason and Gene Lyons. Rough versions have already played at four film festivals.

...

Attendees included Susan McDougal, who went to jail rather than cooperate with Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr; retired Gen. Wesley Clark who sought the Democratic Party's presidential nomination this year; and former Arkansas Sen. David Pryor.

During the film's showing, appearances by Starr on the screen drew boos and hisses from the crowd, while Jones' image produced laughter.

Afterward, McDougal, who plays a large part in the film, got a standing ovation when she was called to the stage.

3. Paula Jones, a walking, talking, LYING joke...
... whose phony baloney story about being in a hotel with the Big Dig was shredded on cross-examination by Bob Bennett -- but you'd never know that thanks to our "liberal" media.

4. "Premiere exceeded expectations,"
according to local (KATV) morning news report. Must've been a pretty good turnout if the hometown Clinton-skeptic media will report it like that.

:evilgrin:

5. As time goes on, it appears the chief engineer of this plot is Bush SR.
"The film purports to uncover a right-wing manipulation of the media, which Thomason says began with President Nixon's call to counter liberal messages in the 1970s."

Otherwise, what would be the point?
BushI was denied the presidency twice.
Once when Ronald Reagan refused to die
and again when Clinton WON.

Is it any surprise why Bush Sr would
not be denied a Third time?

Watching the trailer, nostalgia sets in..
In real life, it was a nail biter to the bitter end.

6. What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL picture!
Genuine laughter, heart-felt enjoyment. So utterly different from the toxic PCB smirk of the present clan infesting the now-dingy white house.

Tansy Gold, putting this one in her files so she doesn't forget what humanity looks like!
