Wag The Dog The movie starts with the President hit with the claim he had sexual relations with a firefly girl during a tour of the white house‚ and all this happens two weeks before the election.

I question whether or not the screenplay ended correctly‚ but it ends with a satirical approach to dark humor‚ and it ends up being funny anyway.
