Yeah. Neither do I.
Nonetheless, it was a BLOCKBUSTER.
So, six years later, it's time for a remake. Many of the actors, you'll note, are still in the biz. Sadly, the new version seems indistinguishable from the original.
SPOILER ALERT: Hillary did it.

(7,143 posts)Pretty sure that Obama was elected, though my memory fails me these days.
This despite his sordid relationship with Rezko.
So Hillary's husband flew on a plane owned by a pedophile. Her son-in-law's hedge fund lost some of Lloyd Blankfein's ill-gotten loot. Donors to the Clinton foundation held Swiss bank accounts.
And the posters predicting that these horrific scandals will take her down? They were busy, six years ago, defending Obama against similar reactionary rhetoric... from ostensible Clinton supporters.
Not surprising, or course, nor necessarily revelatory. I was just waxing nostalgic...

People are going to look for "advantage" for or against the person that they favor or disfavor. That's all that was.
It's sales.
