There Is, Indeed, Justice
A play about the Clintons closed early on Broadway due to low ticket sales. How did such a production even make it to Broadway in the first place?
On the same day that the Department of State finds multiple violations in Hillary’s handling of emails on her unauthorized server.
Keep them coming, I say!

If a fact falls in the middle of a forest where there is nobody to hear it, is it still a fact?
My favorite line in that story? “Playwright Lucas Hnath described his production as ‘a play about the Clintons that’s not a play about the Clintons.’”
It’s set, supposedly, in an alternate universe. That’s not a stretch for Hillary or her supporters. They’ve been operating in an alternate universe for some time now. The play is not even set in the aftermath of 2016. Having Donald Trump to hate on would probably have sold some seats. But the antagonist is Barack Obama.
It’s supposedly all about the difficult road she had because of her gender. As if her vagina was the most objectionable part of personality.
Heh.
I know, right? That line makes me want to launch into an epic rant, but the CoC restrains me.
Made me laugh.
This is disappointing. I was hoping to find out the real story of Vince Foster and Web Hubbell.
How did Chelsea Clinton get a $600,000 salary from NBC News and a spot on “Dateline” with zero media experience? When it comes to people seen as liberal icons, the amount of money thrown around — and thrown away — by progressive executives in the pop-culture universe is astounding, and they never learn from their errors. (You think publishers set wads of cash on fire giving Hillary millions in advances for her books? Wait ’till they get through nuking their checkbooks with the money they’re going to pay Barack Obama for his next book, that only a handful of die-hard True Believers are going to buy.)
My gut reaction was, “why should a play about the Clintons automatically be bad? Their story has ambition, greed, mendacity, sex, betrayal, cheeseburgers, saxophones, cynicism, narcissism, etc. etc. etc. It’s a fine basis for a Shakespearean tragedy!”
And then, I clicked-through to the link and found out that it was a hagiography about Hilary Clinton’s first run for President.
Yawn.
De chickens, they be slow, but they be comin’ home ta roost.
That’s her only redeeming characteristic, actually.
