Clinton Connections

Mike Allen wrote in Time Conservative conspiracy theorists speculate that the hit ABC drama Commander in Chief--starring Geena Davis as President--doubles as a campaign ad for Hillary Rodham Clinton. And it turns out the show does have Clinton connections. The Senator has been sphinxlike about the show--her office won't even say whether she has watched it. But Capricia Marshall, 41, who as White House social secretary helped Clinton buy everything from hosiery to a house, is a series consultant--and believes it isn't just entertainment.... And if they don't listen to her, there's Steve (Scoop) Cohen. A writer on the show, he was once a communications aide to the former First Lady.

Time admits there were two Clinton staffers working on the show, but I just heard today that two more Clinton staffers were joining the team.

They clearly want to show that a woman president can serve as Commander in Chief. The first two shows had Genna Davis using the armed forces to attack another country. In the third episode she did not invade anyone, but the evil Republican Speaker of the House, who wanted her to resign so he could become President, orchetrate the resignations of members of her cabinet during an official State Dinner.
