In their commentary on the presidential elections, moles Jan Haaken and Denise Morris discuss the 1998 film, PRIMARY COLORS. In 1996, an anonymous author (later revealed to be Joe Klein) published Primary Colors, a political satire inspired by the events of Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign in 1992. Based on the book, the film by the same name was directed by Mike Nichols and written by Elaine May. Jan and Denise look at the film through the lens of gender politics—then and now.
