"Lincoln" legal mistake

[Linda Anderson]

Thanks, Liz. Kushner's rebuttal is very interesting. I suppose we don't know until we've walked in the historical novelist's or screenwriter's shoes how difficult it really is to merge art with historical fact.

Kushner does seem to be referring to the Oscar whispering campaign when he writes, "I’m sorry if anyone in Connecticut felt insulted by these 15 seconds of the movie, although issuing a Congressional press release startlingly headlined “Before The Oscars …” seems a rather flamboyant way to make that known."
