Who would be acting in TV drama about Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign?

[zulchzulu]

I was thinking about how the movie would go...it's not over yet, so it's hard to tell what will be the Final Act. But here's a list of some of the main characters that I think would make for a great cast that best describes the Clinton Team:

Hillary Clinton - Edie Falco
Bill Clinton - Ben Afleck
Chelsea Clinton - Miley Cyrus
Maggie Williams - Jada Pinkett Smith
Terry McAuliffe - Jim Carrey
Patti Solis Doyle - Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Howard Wolfson - Chris Elliott
Madeleine Albright - Linda Hunt
Geraldine Ferraro - Glenn Close
Mark Penn - John Malkovich
Karl Rove - Will Ferrell
Barack Obama - Nick Cannon
Rupert Murdoch - Philip Seymour Hoffman
James Carville - Himself

I'm thinking the talking heads in the Royal Punditry would either be themselves of some fresh new faces.

1. No no

Glenn Close should be cast as Hillary. Didn't you see her as that witchy lawyer in Damages? Purrfect.

[zulchzulu]

3. I think Glenn Close is too obvious for HRC in a movie

Edie Falco can play someone just as nuts.

:rofl:

[Stephanie]

8. It shd be someone whose talent is comparable to Hillary's

I'm thinking Markie Post.

[americanstranger]

12. BWAH!

Markie Post.. heh...

That ref may have gone over a lotta peeps' heads here, but I hear ya.

- as

[havocmom]

17. Crystal Bernard would work too. Ever check her donations?

Helps the same gang. ;)

[Lucky 13]

21. Valerie BertandErnie

I mean Bertinelli.

[Eurobabe]

14. She'll forever be CARM to me

[Connie_Corleone]

6. That show was great!!

[Eurobabe]

15. Wasn't it? I heard they renewed it for 2 more seasons!

[TexasObserver]

33. I'm giving you my proxy on this issue. Glenn Close is the ONE.

The Damages character is really perfect for Hillary, too. You know there's something darkly evil and unright about her, but you seldom see the depths of that evil fully displayed.

2. I disagree with Will Ferrell as Rove

How about Porky Pig instead?

[zulchzulu]

4. I think Ferrell would really have fun in the role though...

It's too bad Chris Farley is no longer with us...

[2rth2pwr]

5. Obama will have time to play himself.

[Occam Bandage]

9. You think he'll have solved all of America's problems that quickly? Glad you're aboard!

[valerief]

7. No, no, no. Hugh Grant as Bill Clinton. He'd be divine. And…

Philip Seymour Hoffman as Hillary.

And John Waters as Karl Rove. He'd make the role really delish.

Of course, you can't have a Hillary campaign movie with her "experience" buddy John McCaingry, to be played by Anthony Hopkins.

One more: Phyllis Diller (love her!) as Geraldine Ferraro.

[PleaseSayItAintSo]

10. Mitch McConnell as Lanny Davis? n/t

[zulchzulu]

16. Lanny Davis could only play himself

I don't think there is anyone else who would want to ruin their acting career that badly.

[zulchzulu]

19. OK...maybe David Paymer as Lanny Davis n/t

[Buddyblazon]

11. Nancy Grace as Hillary

[OhioBlue]

13. John Travolta does a good Bill Clinton.

I think Will Smith for Obama.

Loretta Swit for Hillary

[zulchzulu]

20. Darrell Hammond as Bill... maybe...

[Kittycat]

18. Meyrl Streep for Hillary - no question

Maybe not in this dress, but with her hair up like that - I think she would make a great Clinton. She can be very demure, then turn and carry the attack quit realistically. Her performance in Rendition is one example of her alternate side.

[Lilith Velkor]

32. ITA. For Barack - Harry Lennix

Charm, with that hint of edge.

[Kittycat]

34. I like Will Smith for Obama.

[Aloha Spirit]

22. Elmyra Duff

[Aloha Spirit]

23. On a related note, recent election news suggests Tazmanian Devils are not as

endangered as previously thought.

[ecstatic]

24. playing on Lifetime Movie Network, of course nt

[newmajority]

25. David DuKKKe as Geraldine Ferraro

Don't know how he would look in drag, but at least we know he'd get the lines right.

[foo_bar]

26. ->

[rucky]

27. I think it should be a one-man show w/ Malkovich doing all the parts. n/t

[zulchzulu]

36. That would be a hoot

[NoodleyAppendage]

28. Hillary Clinton - Ruth Buzzi

[Elidor]

29. Rosemary Watson as Hillary

She has it down pat.

[jakem]

30. Tracy Flick

[azmouse]

31. What a shame Margaret Hamilton passed away.

She be perfect as HRC.

[NewHampshireDem]

35. Isn't it obvious

Matt Lucas and David Walliams



The only two actors in the world who could do *all* of Hillary's accents.

[MadBadger]

37. Geraldine Ferraro has a suggestion for Obama

FLAVA FLAAAAAVVVVVVVVV YEAAAAAAAAA BOOOOOYYYYYY

[WA98296]

38. Terry McAuliffe - Jim Carrey OMG, I'm so laughing. A perfect ringmaster for her circus
