Hillary: The Movie

One might think that anyone who cared enough to make a movie about a person might admire the person and want to promote the notion that the person was exemplary.  Or maybe one would make such a movie because the person is interesting, complex, or controversial.  So when I saw that someone had made a movie entitled Hillary:  The Movie, I assumed the motive was one of these two.
Today I read this and decided these people are not friends of Senator Clinton:  Dick Armey, Tony Blankley, Dan Burton, Ann Coulter, Frank Gaffney, Newt Gingrich, Michael Medved, Dick Morris, Robert Novak, Kate O'Beirne, and Kathleen Willey.  Strangely, the movie did not include Bill Clinton, James Carville, Paul Begala, or anyone else I could recognize a being favorably disposed toward Hillary Clinton.  Why, this movie must be just a filthy hit piece on Mrs. Clinton, the 2008 campaign's first "swiftboating" by the Republican smear merchants.
And the producer of this masterpiece?  David Bossie.  Now, don't I remember this name from somewhere?  What was it George H. W. Bush said about him?  "We will do whatever we can to stop filthy campaign tactics .  .  ."  Nice, Republicans!
