A new docudrama is on the drawing board for the life of George Washington. To say in the most affectionate terms I can..... Shame on NBC. Based on the wonderful book by Ron Chernow, Washington:A Life, the screenplay writer has instead decided to write his own version of history. He has expressly stated that Washington had an adulterous affair. Shameful. Anyone with half a history credential knows that this allegation has been explored and never found to be true. Chernow also examines this in this book. His conclusion: not true. I sincerely hope that NBC thinks better of this farce and doesn't try and sully the impeccable reputation of Mr Washington. I implore you to boycott this docudrama when it comes out. Here is the article if you are interested as to what I so strongly condemn. Click here for the article.
