Politics 2

Ever see the movie "Wag the Dog"?. If you haven't, it is about how a bunch of Washington "spin doctors" get together to take the media's attention away from a presidential sex scandal and focus it on a fake war in Albanian. (ironically, the Monica Lewinsky scandal came out a month after the film was released.) Anyways, its a fantastic movie that every American who is pessimistic about the government should see.

So I'm watching CNN last night and they're talking about Hilary Clinton's comeback in the polls since that stunt on TV where she started to finally show her feminine side by crying. They also mentioned that her strategy since then has been to seem more sensitive, emotional, and more like a real women. The first thing that went off in my mind when I saw that was "Its Wag the Dog all over again". Of course there have been multiple "wag the dog" style media stunts before (remember the 'Mission Accomplished' speech?), but for it to occur again in the same family? I really hope she doesn't win the democratic nomination because I might have to vote for her (unless Ron Paul won the Republican Nomination).
