A
s if Hillary Clinton didn’t have enough problems at the moment, a romantic comedy opening in wide release plays her hubby Bill’s sexual pecadillos for laughs. “Defintely, Maybe” stars Ryan Reynolds who in the first part of the film plays a volunteer on Bill’s first campaign for the White House in 1992. A subplot involves the character’s growing disenchantment with Mr. Clinton, beginning with the appearance of Gennifer Flowers in a TV news clip, followed years later by another one featuring Monica Lewinsky. Courtesy of Universal’s parent company NBC, there are two classic clips of the former president himself: the immortal “I did not have sexual relations with the woman,” speech, pictured above, and the even more notorious clip from the president’s grand jury testiony preceding his impeachment, where he parries a question with a lawyerly “that depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is.” The latter prompts Reynolds’s character, by now a washed-up politicaal speechwriter, to toss a container of noodles at his TV screen. Apparently in the interests of equal time, the flick also throws in a line of dialogue raking up old allegations about the first President Bush’s supposedly having had a mistress, as well clip of a goofy Bush the Younger that’s apparently from the 1992 Republican convention. But neither of them has a wife running for president.
