And now, here's the transcript for a movie trailer we'll never see:

 

ANNOUNCER: Coming soon from New Line Cinema. The First Family is now the First Family in Outer Space. Unfortunately, thanks to a pair of devious saboteurs, the starship White House is Lost in Space! Starring Bill Clinton as the mission commander!

BILL: As Commander-in-Chief, I hope to launch this nation into a future where space exploration can be as easy as, well, that babe in Wild Things. Isn't she a hottie? You know, when I saw her and Neve Campbell in the pool getting it — (Gets slapped in the back of the head by Hillary)

HILLARY: Bill!

ANNOUNCER: Co-starring Hillary Clinton as the commander's wife! Also starring Chelsea Clinton as the commander's daughter!

CHELSEA: Oh, Mom, I don't wanna go into space! I love it here at Stanford, with my Secret Service men carrying out my every order! Buzz, go send the Stanford newspaper editor $5000 for not printing that unflattering article of me!

SECRET SERVICE MAN #1: Whatever you say, ma'am.

ROBOT: (Spins around wildly, with arms flailing about) Danger, Bill Clinton! Danger, danger! (The Robot morphs into Paula Jones and assumes her voice) I'm gunning for your ass, Bubba! You sexually harassed meeeeeee!

ANNOUNCER: Join the Clintons as they journey through space facing all kinds of otherworldly obstacles! Planet Whitewater! The Campaign Contributor Creature! The Monica Lewinsky Monster!
