Hey, can she help it?

From A Fly on the Wall via Professor Althouse's blog:

Paramount Pictures is worried that Meryl Streep's edgy, chilling performance as a U.S. Senator in The Manchurian Candidate, which opens at the end of next month, is too close to the real Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, a pal inside the studio tells me.

What else did they expect when they asked one of the greatest actresses of all time to play a "scary and evil" woman married to a politician?

I wonder how good her belly laugh is.
