Joe Conason hints at "remarkable Paula Jones clip" in new movie

Waiting for Paula Jones at Sundance
Contemplating the debut of "The Hunting of the President" at Sundance on this sunny afternoon, I think I'm finally beginning to understand the strange combination of exhilaration and trepidation felt by authors whose books become movies. Those feelings are intensified by the fact that I haven't seen the final cut, complete with narration and score. This project has been in the works for more than two years, but of course the editing and mixing continued in Los Angeles until a few days ago.

(snip)

Inevitably, there were some important aspects of the book that had to be omitted from a 90-minute film. (And I didn't always agree with the directors about those omissions -- perhaps Gene Lyons and I will add an "authors' cut" to the DVD someday.) Happily, there were also remarkable moments in the film that expand the story we told in the book. Among my other favorite moments are cameos by Howard Kurtz in the Washington Post newsroom, and Jerry Falwell at his Liberty University campus in Lynchburg, Va.

The big news at breakfast this morning, however, was that a certain amazing clip of Paula Jones -- an outtake from the infamous "Clinton Chronicles" video that we tried to obtain years ago -- has been added to the "Hunting" movie since the last edit I viewed. In the outtake, Paula finishes her recitation of all the awful things Bill Clinton supposedly did, and then says something that is far more revealing about her. It's only a few seconds of film, but I can't wait to see it.

1. What does she say?...

..."when can I get my check Mr. Scaife?"...

2. I can't wait to see it either

More than likely, after her lip-quivering, crying jag the camera probably caught a wink or giggle that debunks the previous performance. Whatever happened (or didn't happen) in that hotel room-it boils down to a bogus lawsuit that was a perjury trap from the get-go. There is a big part of me that wishes it would have gone to trial and, for better or worse, the truth about both Clinton and Jones would have been revealed.

Did I say what you wanted me to say? As I recall she said something like that.

5. Here are a few quotes I hope make it in the movie.

I'm paraphrasing here:

One of the many reporters digging up dirt about Clinton in Arkansas hounds this anchor woman from one of the tv stations and asks her a question. The question is "There is a rumor that you slept with Gov. Bill Clinton, did you?" Her answer "Honey, if Bill Clinton slept with me, he'd still be grinning!"

When I read that it just cracked me up!:-)
