John,

From a 'Historical' view you're probablity right, but who the hell would want to watch it?

I like Degeneres as Hillary, but I was kinda thinking of Joan Rivers.

I wish leading conservatives journalists would point out how inaccurate Rush Limbaugh has been over the years.]

We just needed a (super?)hero...
Let me guess - German Historicism School of 19th century as embodied by Gustav von Schmoller & Co. There are no regularities in historic development, no economic laws, nothing but leaders with will and charisma. I thought that was long obsolete. Guess not.

OMG...I AGREE W/ Miko!! Holy crap, what am I gonna do now?? I need a drink.

"producers have sources to verify each scene in the script"

the rest is obvious to any non party member.

Selective reading again?

Nothing to do with politics in my book....the fact that anyone would offer up character assasination of a dying man who cannot defend himself, turns my stomach.

You enjoy that aspect of this Vader?

JBA,

I'm eagerly waiting for the link to the media accuracy group that gives Rush a 98.8%.

I've caught Rush using falsehoods to support his beliefs many times in the past. An example: After George W's inauguration, Rush said that the only place you could see protesters was on the liberal media networks. He said, that although he hadn't been there, he understood that protesters just weren't around much at all. The networks deliberately misrepresented the event, according to Rush.

Well....I work near the White House and I had to work the day of the Inauguration. I was able to spend about an hour walking around and I can tell you there were many protesters, and they were not hard to see.

Want more proof of Rush's wrongs?

Go to OZKansas's post "Taxes" in the "O Club" and scroll down to my second post there.

In my opinion, the best media watchdog group is Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR). They take on everyone, from The New York Times to Fox News. I subscribe to their excellent publication, "Extra!"

Click here to visit FAIR.

Reagan's son protested the release after watching a preview. He stated that many of the scenes and quotes were totally uncharacteristic of his father.

Not having seen it myself, I cannot pass judgement on it.

I'm sure it was just as unbiased as West Wing.

Politics spoiled the Reagan love story. Maybe they can try again with "THE CLINTONS."
