...ballooned to $200 million, the main actor has lost his star appeal, and a majority of the public has decided in advance they are not interested. No, this isn't a Kevin Costner movie.

As audience members presented their tickets to the lotteried event, they were greeted by images of former George covers. Photographs of George Clooney, Tom Hanks, and a belly button bearing Cindy Crawford flashed across the big screen, which soon broadcast Clinton speaking live from Chappaqua...
