Unhappy reading for Republicans or political naïfs, The Hunting of the President is the story of a sustained and well-funded effort to discredit and defeat Bill Clinton, dating from his gubernatorial days in Arkansas and eventually leading to his impeachment trial. Award-winning journalists Joe Conason and Gene Lyons have crafted a tale as compulsively readable as a political thriller--paced, and at times worded, like a summer bestseller. Although they provide ample evidence of backstabbing, revenge, deceit, conniving, and "dirty tricks" in the struggle to oust Clinton, arguing that "the better the president and the country did, the more his adversaries appeared willing to endorse almost anything short of assassination to do him in," they also acknowledge that Clinton's reckless behavior, along with the "panicky, defensive, and occasionally less-than-perfectly-honest" responses of the White House press office, didn't hurt his opponents. Investigative journalism at its juiciest, The Hunting of the President is a surprising valediction to a far-from-angelic public leader who often outmaneuvered his enemies with otherworldly skill. --Regina Marler --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

6. Seems as if for now it has limited screenings
I don't know what's up with that. Just a few screenings in fancy-pants, elitist, artsy fartsy theaters.

9. I'm Sure
Fahrenheit 911 will only HELP this film get noticed.Its like when the Passion came out.CBS had a tv movie they pulled out of the vaults tryingto cash in on the success of The Passion.Perhaps Michael Moore will have helped make the Hunting of the President a hit!

11. Most of America
will have to wait for this to come out on DVD in order to see it - unless you live in a big city.
