(USA, Sundays at 10 p.m. ET), created by Greg Berlanti, stars
Sigourney Weaver as the secretary of state. Consider yourself
warned that Weaver's character, Madam Secretary Elaine Barrish,
is no mere Condi knock-off or Madeleine Albright wannabe.
Rather, she is a doozy of a Bizarro World Hillary Clinton. A
prologue set two years before the main action introduces Elaine
as a former FLOTUS who stood by her cheating man like Tammy
Wynette. She has just lost a presidential primary race to a
swarthy man with an exotic name. We first meet her as she
selects a monochromatic pantsuit to wear while delivering her
concession speech.  Troy Patterson Tro
