TV show provides a glimpse of the future??

September 4, 2008

No. Not really. But I was reminded of something while watching the Sarah Palin speech yesterday at the RNC. I couldn’t pinpoint what it was at first, but now I know… It was Geena Davis starring in a TV show called “Commander in Chief” where,

In Commander in Chief, MacKenzie Allen (Davis) is thrusted into presidential office after the former President is struck down by a stroke. She faces opposition from many of her fellow Washingtonites, including the Speaker of the House, who reminds Allen that her nomination to the vice presidency was nothing more than a stunt of masterfully crafted political theatre. Her vice presidancy was never intended for presidancy, as evidenced by the former president’s own expressed wishes. Allen goes on to fight against misogyny and patriarchy and prove that she is indeed capable of becoming President and takes the oath of office.
