Jack Bauer's Creator Speaks

Joel Surnow, the executive producer of 24, discusses his popular series, blasts Hillary Clinton, and explains why conservatives should stop acting like victims of Hollywood liberals.

(Page 2 of 2)

In the upcoming season, there will be a woman president played by Cherry Jones.

"If she's a really good character, she may help Hillary," Surnow joked. "So we may have to turn her into a bad character."

Surnow said he would probably be supporting Rudy Giuliani, and he asks, "Are we nuts thinking Hillary Clinton could be president of this country?"

Asked about the battle over popular culture, he said that conservatives should keep their heads up. "I happen to believe that the MoveOn culture is going to have to implode at some point," he said, and also remarked that it is actually liberals who are becoming more restrictive.

"To me, the liberal movement is old and repressive," he said. "If you want drinking, smoking, and red meat, you have to hang out with Republicans."
