Wowzers! First Oliver Stone announced that he wants to make a film about Dubya and now Uncle Ridley is looking at doing the same for Ronald Reagan:
Sir Ridley Scott is to make a film about late US president Ronald Reagan's dealings with ex-Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, according to reports.
The still untitled project will focus on the 1986 arms control summit that took place in Reykjavik, Iceland.
What's the attraction to filmmakers of our Chief Executive?
On an unrelated note, I want to let Hillary Clinton know something. I was listening to NPR the other day and a commentator was blathering on about how Ms. Clinton (pronounced /klin-tahn/ like Kang and Kodos say it) was bloviating that Obama doesn't have enough experience to be the Commander-in-Chief. Two things:
1) The President is not "Commander-in-Chief". Please re-read Article II, Section 2. It reads: "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States". The President is Command-in-Chief of the armed forces alone, not of entire the country.
2) New Rule: Ms. Clinton has got to stop with this whole spiel about Obama lacking experience. As The Alligator notes, Abraham Lincoln, the man who kept the Union together, had 2 years of experience at the federal level before being elected President. And that guy on our one dollar bill who also has a district and a state named after him? The big goose egg. George Washington had 0 years of experience before becoming this country's first Prez.
So enough of the "experience" rigamarole.
