Das ist übrigens ein geeigneter Moment, um mal wieder zu empfehlen, sich Wag the Dog anzuschauen. Seinerzeit gab es auffällige Ähnlichkeiten mit Bill Clinton aber der Film ist (leider) zeitlos.

Wag the Dog is a 1997 black comedy film where a spin doctor and a Hollywood producer fabricate a war to distract voters from a presidential sex scandal. It was produced and directed by Barry Levinson, and starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro. The screenplay by Hilary Henkin and David Mamet was loosely adapted from Larry Beinhart's novel American Hero.

Wag the Dog was released one month before the outbreak of the Lewinsky scandal and the subsequent bombing of the Al-Shifa pharmaceutical factory in Sudan by the Clinton administration, which prompted the media to draw comparisons between the film and reality.
