Clinton: His Struggle with Dirt was a one-off satire, written and narrated by Armando Iannucci in a similar style to his later shows, notably Time Trumpet. Purporting to be a documentary from the future, it cast actors as older versions of genuine people, (e.g. Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky), to present a comic spin on the Lewinsky scandal.
Famous quotes containing the words struggle and/or dirt:
“Crushed to earth and rising again is an author’s gymnastic. Once he fails to struggle to his feet and grab his pen, he will contemplate a fact he should never permit himself to face: that in all probability books have been written, are being written, will be written, better than anything he has done, is doing, or will do.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
“it
was my first doll that water went
into and water came out of much
earlier it was the diaper I wore
and the dirt thereof and my
mother hating me for it”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
