It would be better as a porn: then you could have the actress playing Judith Miller in the middle of a Chalabbi/Curveball manwich while the man playing a CIA hack can jerk off watching.

"...who went to jail unnecessarily to protect Scooter Libby's right to plant fake stories with her concerning nonexistent Iraqi WMDs."

Well put.

I might only add that those nonexistent WMDs, which the administration's highest power-players knew very well were a non-existent non-threat, were then used as a pretext to murder countless Iraqi citizens in a long-before planned effort to secure Iraq as a military outpost for the United States in that oil-rich region of the world where a handful of sovereign nations still dare to think they can maintain their independence on the world stage.

Kate Beckinsale walked past me mumbling while she was going over lines in her head for her part in a movie with David Hasselhoff. Quite fetching. Quite fit. But now, whenever I see her mentioned, I get DT's and a craving for dollar burgers.

Judy Miller? Little Bummer Girl.

John Slatterly's casting as Bill Kristol is, however, a masterful stroke.

Not apropos of nothin', but how do you code strike-through on here? I tried both s and strike inside the carrots and nothing looked like it was going to work.

This truly was one of the more interesting sex/journalism scandals I have yet lived through. I would really like to see the movie. It has the potential to be fascinating. I just hope they keep it accurate.

I, for one, can't wait to hear the really wistful-sounding voice-over by Kate Beckinsale reading from that famous letter by Scooter Libby from her cell: "Out West, where you vacation, the aspens will already be turning. They turn in clusters, because their roots connect them."

Is this a joke? Gawker, tell me this isn't for real. This can't be a movie about Judy Miller, portraying her a kind fashion. What a crock. This movie will BOMB at the box office. A hex on it!

PS: Full disclosure, I work for the Times. I also know full well that Judy Miller gives a bad name to all serious reporters, and should be ashamed.

It's revolting that people would try to rehabilitate Judith Miller's character. She should be publicly flogged along with the rest of those Iraqi WMD geniuses. Perhaps on the White House lawn, as part of the inauguration festivities?

@surlybastard: I'd be happy to "rehabilitate" Kate Beckinsale's "character," though.

And flogging's not out of the question there, either, if perchance that's what she's into.
