Geena Davis has signed on to star in ABC's White House drama pilot Commander-in-Chief. From writer/director Rod Lurie, the project centers on the first female U.S. president. The two-hour pilot marks Davis' return to TV, after her failed attempt at a sitcom, in 2000's The Geena Davis Show, also on ABC.
Ten dollars says the character's name as written on the script right now is Hillary. That will have to change, of course. We wouldn't want the public to think we were creating a tv show just to do PR for Clinton '08. While the first female President (Democratic) of course, is played by the lovely Geena Davis, casting will soon begin to fill the roles of her Republican foils. There will be a casting call at a federal penitentiary near you. Wanted: greasy, balding, white males with that special "psycho killer" charm. As Ann Coulter said, Hollywood is the only place liberals can make themselves attractive.
