Summary: A Window Into The Mind of Clinton's Supporters
Review: Clinton comitted felonies. Not just infedelity, or inappropriate relations with Monica. That was only part of it, contrary to what his fan club would have you believe.

He also brought spin to a whole different universe with his famous phrase "it depends on what the meaning of "is" is." But there are those who still elevate him to demigod status. They seem to admire Clinton because he was able to lie, cheat, and steal and still be admired.

This is because he's the kind of politician who hangs out in doughnut shops talking to minimum-wage workers. This actually happens in film Primary Colors. And he's so good at talking to guys in doughnut shops, that he deserves to be president, and he deserves our love and respect.

That's the logic of Clinton's adoring supporters, and the "moral" of this film. The audience sees Jim Stanton's malicious side again and again; then comes another "dougnot shop" style scene to remind us what a great guy he really is.

This is the logic of those who love the legacy of Bill Clinton, the logic that governs this film's story. This film is therefore useful in understanding the Clinton lover's mind. Having said that, it's still pure, shameless Clinton propaganda. It doesn't "expose" Clinton per se; by portraying him as a "man of the people," it seeks to justify every shady thing he ever did.
