Clinton: His Struggle With Dirt

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:

    The dying man doesn’t struggle much and he isn’t much afraid. As his alkalies give out he succumbs to a blest stupidity. His mind fogs. His will power vanishes. He submits decently. He scarcely gives a damn.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The violent, neat and practiced skill
    Was all he loved and all he learned;
    When he was hit, his body turned
    To clumsy dirt before it fell.

    And what to say of him, God knows.
    Such violence. And such repose.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
