How’s that for an endorsement? NBC News’ Chuck Todd is wasting no time reminding his Twitter followers that it’s NBC Entertainment, not NBC News, planning a four-hour miniseries about former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. On the plus side, the lack of input by NBC’s news division suggests a chance that the miniseries won’t be a total whitewash of Clinton’s career.
NBC announced earlier today that Diane Lane has signed on to play Clinton, and although no air date has been set, it will likely air before Clinton formally announces her bid for the White House.
"Diane Lane is a wonderful actress and was our second choice to play Hillary..Our first was Phillip Seymour Hoffman but he is in rehab" @NBC

CNN’s Jake Tapper feels Todd’s pain.
@chucktodd I went through this with ABC and The Path to 9/11. Good luck!!

What makes Chuck Todd think that people are going to complain about a four-hour Hillary Clinton drama conveniently timed to coincide with her presidential campaign? It sounds awesome.
NBC jumping in early on the 2016 race– will do a 4 hour miniseries on Hillary Clinton, starring Diane Lane

LMAO at NBC's pathetic attempt to humanize the one of biggest raging feminist she-hag this country has ever seen – Hillary Clinton.

Hi @nbc Will Hillary's fake Bloodclot stunt to get out of Benghazi testimony be portrayed?
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) July 27, 2013
How many episodes of the 4-part Hillary miniseries will focus on Benghazi. Gotta be at least 2, right?

Will @nbc do a dramatic portrayal of when Hillary told families of Benghazi victims they will get whoever made that video and punish them?

The scene where she throws the plates (F-bombs excluded – FCC Rules and all) #HillaryClintonMiniseriesSurprises

In the NBC Hillary movie, our heroine personally captures the YouTube filmmaker, then compels Susan Rice with the Lasso of Lies.
