Clintons Enlisted Steven Spielberg to Help Remake Hillary Into Someone Likeable

The Spectacle 

Clinton supporters remain remarkably confused as to why their chosen candidate is having such a difficult time relating to the common people, even though she's clearly been communing with the proletariat on a regular basis since this candidacy took flight. To the public, of course, Hillary's lack of appeal is self-evident; her prickly, false demeanor speaks volumes about her ambition and her desire to lead. She'd make an excellent President - if only the job didn't involve actual Americans.

According to a new book, Bill Clinton recognized Hillary's disconnect early on and tried to hire master filmmaker Steven Spielberg to mold Clinton's image. The effort, though, turned out less like the director's remarkable crafting of an extraterrestrial into a friendly sidekick in E.T. and more like the crafting of an angry, reanimated Elsa Lanchester. 

Hillary Clinton enlisted the help of Steven Spielberg in an attempt to maker her seem more likeable, a new book claims.

The front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination was urged to seek help by her husband Bill Clinton - and he told her: 'Let’s ask Steven for help,' according to the book, which is called "Unlikeable".

So their friend Spielberg provided acting coaches to help Hillary prepare for speeches. But the sessions came to an abrupt end after Hillary took her frustrations out on a camera and knocked it off its tripod, according to an excerpt of the book published in the New York Post. 

Hillary. Angry. Hillary. SMASH.

Apparently, she didn't like the suggestion that she "pretend" to like her audiences. After all, according to Hillary, she got paid a quarter million to deliver her speeches to salivating audiences across the globe - what advice did she really need professional actors? She's clearly fantastic at the art.

Since Spielberg has since bowed out of the process - at least according to reports - Clinton is taking on a different tactic in ingratiating herself to a willing public, aligning with comedian Amy Schumer and whatever-she-is Lena Dunham to chat about things Americans really care about, like Wall Street bankers and Lenny Kravitz's undercarriage. 

Unfortunately, Lena Dunham is a softball interview, so even as Clinton lies directly to her face - she's not going to take on a single big bank, as she's already gotten millions from hedge fund bankers and financial sector PACs, and as we've seen her level of experience with technology, it's difficult to believe she could find a viral video on YouTube - so we're still left wondering whether Clinton really even lives in the same world the rest of us do. The interview even makes Kanye West look thoughtful by comparison.

Ambassador Spicoli??

MIDDLE FINGER NEWS EXCLUSIVE

Noted Ass-Kisser of Socialist Dictators Under Consideration

for Cuban Ambassadorship

Ambassador Spicoli??

MFNS - Middle Finger News sources inside the State Dept. have learned actor and long time butt kisser of the western hemisphere's most notorious dictators, Sean Penn, is on a short list to be considered for a post as the first ambassador in over 50 years to the communist island paradise of Cuba. 

Penn, better known for being Hugo Chavez's favorite Worm and Madonna's ex-husband than his acting, told MFN he was flattered but not surprised at the news considering all the time he spent sitting at the feet of the late great former leader of the Venezuelan people's paradise. 

Second only to former President Jimmy Carter as premier Useful Idiot of socialist dictators, Penn believes the oppression by America of the Cuban people has already caused everyone who knows how to swim leave the island, and has denied Fidel Castro his place in the history of making a better world for all.  

"Like myself, Barack Obama knows America has much to learn from the vibrant Cuban people, such as how to provide world class health care, squashing right-wing rebellions, the many uses for bananas and how to play a baseball game that doesn't last six hours." 

"And why should the American people be denied the pleasure of a good cigar or unlimited access to the largest supply of 1957 Chevys in the world. Come on!"

Fidel Castro recently stepped down and replaced by his younger, sexier brother Raul. 
Comrade Fidel is now the most powerful socialist in the west not living in Malibu.

The Continuing Adventures of Carlos Danger

Danger Let Go By PR Firm

PR firm announces Anthony Weiner’s departure,

which came as news to him

Anthony Weiner, the former congressman and New York City mayoral candidate whose political career ended due to a sexting scandal, is leaving the New Jersey PR firm MWW less than two months after joining it.

The circumstances of the exit are under dispute.

Weiner’s departure was announced in an internal memo today from MWW’s president and CEO, Michael Kempner, in polite terms.

“Over the past few months, it has become clear that a handful of people and a few media outlets continue to be fixated on Anthony, attempting to cause harm to him and by extension to our agency,” Kempner wrote. “The continuous noise from these parties has caused both Anthony and the MWW team to have to deal with many inflammatory, insulting and false stories. To Anthony’s credit, he understands that his presence here has created noise and distraction that just isn’t helpful, and at the same time, he has other interests that he wishes to pursue.”

Perhaps Carlos should seek a less radioactive landscape in which to operate, like maybe look towards Hollywood for his next adventure. After all, he is almost as politically astute as most in Hollywood, and as he has shown us before, the camera loves him.  

Chicago Isn't Very Happy With Little Spike Lee

Sheldon Jackson Lee, known for sometime making what some call inflammatory movies and stirring the pot so to speak, is in the Windy City to make another Spike Lee Joint. 

But the subject of gun violence in Chicago's black neighborhoods, and working title of the film have some not so enamored with the film maker. 

NYT - Mr. Lee, who declined to be interviewed, has not publicly confirmed the title of the movie, but city officials who have met with him said he had told them that he intended to call it “Chiraq.”

The film, Mr. Lee has said, is focused on gun violence on the South Side; some reports, unconfirmed by Mr. Lee, offer the intriguing possibility that the film is a comedic reimagining of “Lysistrata,” the ancient Greek tale by Aristophanes in which women withhold sex to force the men to end the Peloponnesian War.

Gun violence is a way of life for many Chicagoans, especially in pockets of the South and West Sides. Street gangs have splintered and multiplied in recent years, complicating police efforts to tamp down crime.

During a meeting with Mr. Lee and several City Council members in April, Mr. Burns, the alderman, urged Mr. Lee to reconsider the title, he said.

“I said in that meeting, ‘A lot of people take offense to the term Chiraq,’” Mr. Burns said in an interview. “These are communities where people are doing the right thing, people trying to have a decent neighborhood. Having a movie called ‘Chiraq’ will make it much more difficult for folks like me and other aldermen to bring economic development to those neighborhoods. Who wants to live in a place that people call Chiraq?”

And like a good wealthy Hollywood types, he asked for the public tax credit to make his movie:

"An alderman from the South Side, William Burns, was so perturbed by the title that he angrily suggested that Mr. Lee, the renowned director of films like “Do the Right Thing” and “Malcolm X,” should not get the $3 million tax credit that he is seeking for filming here.

“If he wants to name the movie 'Chiraq' and film it in the city of Chicago, he should be able to get the permits for that and he should be able to do it, but we shouldn’t give him money as taxpayers to brand a part of the city as Iraq.” 

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel met last month with Lee, who has been spending time in Chicago as he prepares to film his new movie, to express his displeasure about the choice of the title — which comes from rap lyrics about violence in some of the city’s black neighborhoods.

Sony Emails Show State Department Blessed Kim Jong-Un Assassination in ‘The Interview’

CEO Michael Lynton showed a rough cut of the movie to U.S. officials

before moving ahead.

by Nick Sorrentino

Propaganda comes in many forms. Hollywood has a long history of it. Just watch the war movies from the 40s, many of the sci-fi movies from the 50s, or Top Gun from the 80s to see that government and Tinsel Town tend to tango a lot. But for the State Department to give the OK (Why are they giving an OK?) to a movie about the assassination of a head of state is unusual. I think.

I say we all go on Netflix and watch Dr. Strangelove, have a cup of soothing green tea, and forget all about The Interview. My bet is that both Sony and the US Government would prefer that at this point too.

"Several emails that reveal at least two U.S. government officials screened a rough cut of the Kim Jong-Un assassination comedy The Interview in late June and gave the film—including a final scene that sees the dictator’s head explode—their blessing.

The claim that the State Department played an active role in the decision to include the film’s gruesome death scene is likely to cause fury in Pyongyang. Emails between the Sony Entertainment CEO and a security consultant even appear to suggest the U.S. government may support the notion that The Interview would be useful propaganda against the North Korean regime..."

The Era of the Limousine Liberal is Back

Hillary Clinton is not the only prominent, rich liberal who is having trouble articulating their vast concern for the poor and income inequality. Recently, there has been a rash of major liberal figures downplaying the fact that American capitalism has been quite good for them, while attempting to hamstring it for the rest of America.

Of course, this debate began anew after Hillary Clinton made her infamous comment that she was “dead broke” after leaving the White House, despite her ownership of multiple homes. Clinton doubled down on the sentiment in an interview with The Guardian, saying she’s not “truly well off,” even though her net worth is around $100 million.

Hillary isn’t even the only member of her family who sounded tone-deaf on their wealth. Daughter Chelsea told The Telegraph she’s tried really hard to care about money, but just can’t:

“I’ve tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents. I was curious if I could care about [money] on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t.”

Enter Vice President Joe Biden, whose salary has been paid for by taxpayers since he was elected to the U.S. Senate at age 29, said he doesn’t own a savings account, even though he kind of does.

Back in 2012, inequality crusader Elizabeth Warren, who lives in a $5 million house and whose stock portfolio totals around $8 million, boasted about her wish that no member of Congress own stocks.

And finally, anti-capitalist movie-maker Michael Moore was asked in 2011 why he produces movies trashing the same economic system that made him a very rich man. Let’s just say after four minutes of trying, Moore really never cogently explained that conflict of interest.

It seems the era of the “limousine liberal” has returned. Self-proclaimed crusaders for the poor who rake in millions while attempting to undermine the very system that allowed for their wealth.

NYC Inaugurates 'Rude Little Pig' Civic Award

(MFNS) – The New York City Visitor’s Bureau has announced it's  new annual civic award designed to reward a recipient, while at the same time alerting the public to a person who, should they see him or her in public, should be avoided at all costs.

The first winner of the new award has been announced and is NYC's most famous street hazards, angry white guy and liberal one percenter, actor Alec Baldwin.

Baldwin has built quite a reputation in ‘The Big Apple’ as someone who is always one remark away from becoming a mass murderer. His hair trigger temper is not to be toyed with as the beloved actor can explode without warning and without provocation. Simply asking if the actor is having a nice day can potentially land a person in full traction at the hospital.

Mr. Baldwin’s  latest episode resulted in an arrest after the funnyman was caught exercising his 1% privilege cycling the wrong way on a city street, but without possession of his ID. He was outraged when one of NYC’s finest presented him with a citation because he felt the officer should have known who he was without identification.

Past transgressions involve Baldwin shouting and calling his daughter names on a widely released voicemail message and nearly coming to blows with reporters on the city streets. His tantrums have become legendary and a brave few even consider it a badge of honor to be on the receiving end of one of his tirades.

Advice to visitors, should they encounter the loosely-hinged actor in public, includes jumping into the nearest taxi, dialing 911, employing the stop-drop-and roll technique, or playing dead. Be sure to alert others in your vicinity that the asshole is nearby.

Known as “The Rude Little Pig Award”, the organization will name a winner each year who represents the very worst in New Yorkers and someone who most people would want to have a restraining order issued against. Next year’s field is wide open but the front-runner at this time is rumored to be Mayor de Blasio.

Drinking with George: Hollywood Moonbat Butt-hurt Over Hero Put Down

"I said the President was my longtime friend and then he said your friend is an asshole."

According to hotel Magnate Steve Wynn, Moonbat George Clooney  got his panties all in a wad Tuesday at a dinner that ended in verbal fireworks. Wynn said Clooney “got drunk” on tequila shots and stormed off after delivering an F-bomb.
So sensitive, these actors.

LVRJ 

The two-time Oscar winner issued the following statement in an email sent through his publicist:

“There were nine people at that table ... so you can ask them. ... Steve likes to go on rants.

“He called the president an asshole ... that is a fact ... I said the President was my longtime friend and then he said ‘your friend is an asshole.’ ... At that point I told Steve that HE was an asshole and I wasn’t going to sit at his table while he was being such a jackass.

“And I walked out. There were obviously quite a few more adjectives and adverbs used by both of us. Those are all the facts. It had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with character.”

"Cloony started talking about the Affordable Care Act, and that’s when I spoke up,” said Wynn, a frequent critic of Obamacare. “He didn’t like that either. I think my discussion about the Affordable Care Act was the straw that broke the camel’s back."

“When he’s drinking, he considers himself a close personal buddy of the president.

“He got up and said, ‘I don’t have to listen to this (expletive) stuff. The only person who got excited at the table was George, and he ran off to another bar. “Clooney’s fun to be with when he’s sober,” Wynn added. “If you have a chance to drink with him, you want to get there early, and don’t stay late.

  ...but I'm sure most are willing to to jump on the unjust income inequality train, at least in spirit.

Hollywood Gets Tax Incentive Extensions???

"Hollywood players routinely beg the government to raise their taxes so they can pay their "fair share."

Yet the industry moves new productions to places where existing tax breaks help its bottom line. That means plenty of shows and films are shot in states like New Mexico, which feature highly favorable tax rates, as well as destinations north of the border with similar perks.

Now Hollywood has used its clout to ensure that its generous tax incentives will continue in a time of fiscal crisis. And it seems Hollywood's rigorous backing of President Barack Obama and his Democrat peers in the waning months of 2012 paid off......."
