The star-studded lives of the Clintons and Obamas come back to bite them.


Hollywood Democrats quickly tried to turn the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal into a critique of President Trump and dug up his past accusers. It never ends. Hollywood is the only place where you’re awarded a Doctorate in Political Science after completing your third movie.    Comedian Argus Hamilton
Thomas Lifson: Hillary stumbles badly handling Harvey Weinstein  "With the same cluelessness that lost her the presidency, Hillary Clinton is setting herself up for trouble in the way she is handling the revelations about one of her key political backers, Harvey Weinstein. First of all, she waited five whole days before responding at all, and when she first broke her silence, she did it indirectly. Instead of speaking personally, or even writing a tweet, she had her spokesman, Nick Merrill, tweet out a prepared statement:"  . . .

Monica Showalter:  Weinstein Collateral Damage: The Obamas  . . . "Obama is more than a little rooted in the world of Hollywood, starting with the fact that he shows up in Hollywood and its redoubts quite regularly – so regularly that an Obama visit to those parts is known as an "Obamajam."  He's believed to have been nosing around to buy a property in tony Rancho Mirage among the Hollywood elites for his post-presidency.  He also shipped his eldest daughter Malia to work as an intern for Weinstein's Weinstein Company.  He's seen his closest campaign aides take positions in Hollywood.  Oh, and at least one engaged in a little sexism of his own.  Meanwhile, Michelle Obama called Weinstein "a good friend" and a "wonderful human being," which shows how tight the Obamas were with Weinstein himself." . . .
