from the NATION's website: >The following year [1996], [John McCain ex-advisor Phil] Gramm sent Caton a >check for $15,000, this time to finance the production of "Beauty Queens," a >soft-core flick about pageant judges having sex with contestants. But at the >last moment, the director of "Beauty Queens," Mark Lester, decided to shelve >his production to make the sequel to his "Tricia's Wedding," a comedy starring >the drag queen troupe, The Cockettes.
> Gramm contributed at least $7500 towards the sequel, a satire of the Nixon > White House called "White House Madness" that featured the crazed president > wandering around the White House in the nude. Gramm never saw that money > again. Shot in ten days on a soundstage crudely modeled after the Oval > Office, "White House Madness" tanked at the box office. < but it might be re-released on DVD?? -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
