Thanks for the link, I never heard of that movie. Interesting. Wikipedia says it pretty well : "was much criticised by those who believed it exploited the subject of presidential assassination, and that by doing so, was in bad taste" There's a quote by Hillary Clinton, like it or not, likely to be our next president, describing that movie as "despicable". I never thought I'd agree with her on absolutely anything, but here I am. (and again I state two wrongs don't make a right, etc)

If you haven't seen the movie (which she probably didn't either), then what's your basis for calling it "despicable"? FWIW, I did see it at the time, and thought it was a fairly intelligent and sensitive depiction of what might happen to American society if Bush were murdered. In any case, why should such a "what if" scenario be off-limits to artists?

>There's a quote by Hillary Clinton, like it or not, likely to be our next president, describing that movie as "despicable". And she's a despicable person. Sadly, she's probably going to be the best candidate in the next election, but she's a horrible person whose opinion counts for nothing.
