Hillary Insider Writes ABC's 'Commander-in-Chief'
2005-09-27
ABC insiders deny there's any connection between real-life presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and their new TV show "Commander-in-Chief" - where Geena Davis makes her debut tonight as America's first woman president.
"No, certainly not!"
But it turns out the show's lead writer is a longtime Clinton campaign insider who held a top job in Hillary's press office. "Writer Steve Cohen used to work for her in the 1990s, serving as the then-first lady's deputy communications director," reports the Village Voice. "I have no doubt she is capable, qualified, and ready to be the president of the United States should she choose to run," Hillary's scriptwriter tells the paper.

#7  I think I'd turn the cable back on just to watch Badanov's version.

#6  badanov's script:

The new female president makes good on her threat but lax intel leads the commando squad to attack the wrong building where they kill every Muslim, yet fail to find their 'package.'

In the meantime, the Nigerian government kills the woman, while feminists blame the military.

#5  where Geena Davis makes her debut tonight as America's first woman president.

More revisionist history on the loose in Hollyweird. For the record, Mrs. Wilson was the first American president. Exhausted from the war and the failed ratification of the Versailles Treaty, President Wilson suffered a stroke and nearly died. Tenderly nursed by his second wife, Edith Bolling Galt. During that time Mrs. Wilson would personally 'pass' papers and instructions 'from' her husband to members of the government. No one pressed the point on the issue of who was really acting as the chief executive. However, due to the condition of Mr. Wilson, it is appearent that he was not in any condition to conduct the business of government.

#4  Especially not after its hackneyed first episode. See here for why.

She decides not to resign (thus automatically succeeding to the office) after finding that the Speaker of the House (Donald Sutherland) is anti-Muslim/anti-woman?? She tells the Nigerian ambassador to release a woman from death row or risk the US military grabbing her???

(At least in E-Ring the rescued woman actually had a reason to be worth picking up - being a Chinese spy working for the US with details of a new PLAN sub.)

#2  This is just a dry run for Hillary's '08 campaign. Get the people of the US used to a female, democrat pres several years ahead of the actual event.
