The Hunting of the President

’Tis the season to blast right-wing nutjobs. On the heels of Fahrenheit 9/11 comes this documentary about the alleged right-wing conspiracy that "hunted" former President Bill Clinton for more than 12 years. The film makes a compelling case for why the whole impeachment process was horrifically slanted (Starr should never have been given that job) and is also notable for its coverage of the many affairs that Clinton supposedly had. Unfortunately, the film is rather horribly done, a goofy cinematic style that uses old film clips to accentuate points, ala the lousy HBO TV series Dream On. This results in a distracting mess that makes it hard to take the film seriously. While a few comic moments and silly sound effects might’ve been tolerable, the whole movie seems like some sort of strange joke, like a cinematic version of the Weekly World News. Still, if the politics here are of interest to you, the movie might be worth a gander. Just make sure to have a nice, soothing cup of tea before attempting to watch.
