The Hunting of the President

(2004)

This is basically the story of Whitewater, the biggest non-scandal of the 20th and maybe any century. There was never anything there, not a shred of evidence of anything, and yet the radical right spent $80 million of your money to find that out, and finally got one little scrap of red meat after about 5 years of turning over rocks and listening to the worms that crawled out, and used that to spend more of your money impeaching Bill Clinton. If there was any justice in the world Ken Starr would be indicted on multiple counts and put in the slammer for 20 years. Chubby-cheeked, sanctimonious, small-minded punk that he is, I’m sure he’d be welcomed heartily on the block at San Quentin, and have some very interesting experiences. Sadly, it will never happen.
