Maureen Dowd's column this morning contains the usual Dowd-esque drivel, with one exception-her mention that a film chronicling the bin Laden killing will be released in October 2012.
The White House believes this will be an October surprise. They're counting on a portrayal that will 'no doubt reflect the President's cool, gutsy decision against shaky odds.'
Vanity Fair describes it this way: if the Barack Obama character is portrayed as a strong leader whose military savvy wrought great success and security, it could improve the President's image among audience members. It might even convert some undecideds.
Refresh my memory on how many voters were moved by Fahrenheit 911 in 2004?

Events of the last couple of days have shown military successes are fleeting. After those guys air-conditioned bin Laden's flea-bitten ass, we should have declared victory, carpet bombed the country one last time, and made like horseshit and hit the trail.
Perhaps they can make one about the Libya intervention, called "Leading from Behind". Or has someone in Hammer's favorite entertainment industry already got that title locked up?
