“American Son”: the Wesley Clark biopic

December 21, 2003 By Mark Kleiman @markarkleiman

Last Thursday’s 600 house-party fund-raisers didn’t get much attention, but raising the better part of a million dollars in one evening without a lobbyist in sight isn’t a bad trick, if you can pull it off. At my place, the crowd seemed genuinely wowed by the biopic, which I thought was a very effective job. Hugh Shelton’s cowardly slur (I say “cowardly” because Shelton challenged Clark’s integrity but refused to provide any facts to justify the challenge) has clearly done some major damage, and the bio does what has to be done to put that issue to rest, and does it well.
