1. Gee we haven't

talked about The Clinton's foibles and marital problems in a few years, so lets rehash a story from 20+ years ago? Maybe we missed something in that old, dated story amid the years and years of talking about it? And, of course, the costar, MS Lewinsky needs to be on every channel this a.m. discussing her talents!

2. elleng is posting about a wonderful film...see below

The American President is a 1995 American romantic comedy-drama film directed and produced by Rob Reiner and written by Aaron Sorkin. The film stars Michael Douglas, Annette Bening, Martin Sheen, Michael J. Fox, and Richard Dreyfuss. In the film, President Andrew Shepherd (Douglas) is a widower who pursues a relationship with environmental lobbyist Sydney Ellen Wade (Bening) – who has just moved to Washington, D.C. – while at the same time attempting to win the passage of a crime control bill during a re-election year.

The film grossed $107.9 million on a budget of $62 million and was praised by critics for its performances (especially from Douglas and Bening), musical score, story and screenplay. Composer Marc Shaiman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Musical or Comedy Score for The American President.[4][5] The film was nominated for Golden Globes for Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical for Michael Douglas, Best Actress in a Comedy/Musical for Annette Bening, and Best Comedy/Musical.[6][7] The American Film Institute ranked The American President No. 75 on its list of America's Greatest Love Stories.[8]
