The Oral History of Wag the Dog
Interesting oral history of the movie Wag the Dog. The movie is a bit prophetic with all the talk of "fake news" these days. Wasn't aware that the screenplay was by David Mamet. Will have to give the movie another watch sometime soon.
The original book was written as a satire of George W's White House. There's really not much difference between whoever sits in the Oval Office at this point. Movie had great timing as it was released just as the Monica Lewinski news was breaking.
prophetic isn't right - it was a thinly skinned repackaging of crap the Clinton's were pulling, just like Anonymous was.
