Robert De Niro's 'Wag the Dog' Accidentally Predicted the Future
This article features minor spoilers for the film Wag the Dog (1997).Barry Levinson's 1997 political parody, Wag the Dog, couldn't have had better timing. The movie, centering on a US president staging a war to distract the populace from a sex scandal, seemingly manifested itself in reality. President Clinton's military strikes against Sudan took place as he was being investigated for his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Any similarities to actual persons, living or dead, were purely coincidental, but try telling that to Saddam Hussein or the equally remorseless press out for lurid headlines.
