1. OK. Betting pool. How many times will Jon say she's "HOT" or the equivalent?

:rofl:

If it were me, I doubt I could get over the fact that she's smart, quick, honorable, courageous, good-humored, and .... well that all spells "hot" to me.

[Up2Late]

3. 3 times and he forgets what he was saying 4 times.

Those are my guesses and I'm sticking with them.

Who's gonna keep score?:evilgrin:

[TahitiNut]

5. Well, he did REALLY well with her ... she's REALLY an impressive person.

Every time I see her I'm more impressed. She's the WHOLE PACKAGE ... imho.

[Up2Late]

6. Hummm, he was very subtle, but I counted 3 times, but maybe once for the forgetting.

What was your count?

[TahitiNut]

8. About the same ... I was too focused on her, though.

She floats my boat. I like smart, articulate, alert, good-humored, courageous, honest people.

[TahitiNut]

13. I counted 2 flirts and 2 brain freezes the 2nd time around.

They both did VERY good ... showing respect for a well-informed audience.

[Booster]

2. Thanks, would have missed it without your post.

[Up2Late]

4. On NOW!

:toast:

[orleans]

[Up2Late]

9. She was Awesome...

Replay a 1:00am EDT/12:00am CDT:donut:

[Cha]

10. And Jon didn't ask Valerie

Plame Wilson if she were being "partisan"? Not once?

[orleans]

12. saw it! she was great. every time i see her she's incredible.

wasn't there talk a couple months back that they are going to make a movie about this story?

[Up2Late]

16. I had not heard that, but her story would make an excellent movie, if done right.

Let's just hope they (the MSM) don't ruin it by making it into a cheesy TV Movie.

[orleans]

18. do they even make "made for tv" movies anymore?

i can see it now--an after-school special: how george bush ruined my life.

:rofl:

with a title like that we could all be in the film!

[Up2Late]

20. Oh Yes, they most definitely do, and now, not only are they bad...

...but they are also playing to smaller and smaller audiences, so it's a great way to kill a worthwhile project like this.

Here are some recent examples:

19. wait! here we go:

Plame film in works at Warner Bros.
Studio sets movie about CIA leak scandal

Warner Bros. is developing a feature on the lives of Valerie Plame and Ambassador Joseph Wilson, the married couple drawn into a D.C. firestorm.
Plame's status as a CIA agent was revealed by White House officials allegedly out to discredit her husband after he wrote a 2003 New York Times op-ed piece saying that the Bush administration had manipulated intelligence about weapons of mass destruction to justify the invasion of Iraq.

The film is a co-production between Weed Road's Akiva Goldsman and Jerry and Janet Zucker of Zucker Productions.

Jez and John Butterworth are writing the screenplay.

WB has secured the life rights of Plame and Wilson. Studio also will use Plame's memoir, "Fair Game," if the CIA permits her to publish it. Plame made a reported publishing deal in the $2.5 million range last year, and Simon & Schuster is expected to publish late this year. While it would be ironic for Plame's story to be illegally leaked by the White House, only to have another government branch deny her the right to tell it herself, the CIA has the latitude to silence Plame.

She left the agency in late 2005 and she and Wilson have filed a civil lawsuit against Vice President Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the former chief of staff for Cheney who's currently on trial, defending himself against charges of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to FBI agents who were investigating the leak of Plame's identity to journalists.

Jerry and Janet Zucker, who got to know Plame and Wilson because all four are involved in stem cell politics, said that the fate of the book won't determine the fate of the film.

"Almost everything that we need for the movie is available from print outlets, and obviously we haven't read the book yet because it hasn't been approved by the CIA," Jerry Zucker said. "Valerie has been incredibly careful with what she tells us, it's almost like she is still working for the CIA. The biggest element of the movie to us is the story of two people who spent their lives in service of their government, and were then betrayed by that government."

14. I like the "superhero" designation. I agree. I wonder if she's just very skilled ...

... at using her attributes to charm folks. (She's quite good at it.) I've met folks, however, who could turn it on and off at will and you'd never think it was insincere. Scary but true. I hope she's genuinely kind to others ... but I gotta think her role as an agent required her to have a shell.

11. Replay kick

:kick:

[sce56]

15. He did not say it neither did she but we all know the BUSH ADMIN IS GUILTY OF TREASON!!

[XOKCowboy]

17. Just caught the late night rerun... VPW is incredible

She got all of the jokes and even blushed when Jon asked if her breasts were still covert. Damn she's even more beautiful when she's laughing. I was very impressed with her. Joe Wilson is a very lucky man and it's a travesty that SOMEONE hasn't been arrested for treason for outing her.

[Imagevision]

22. Valerie Plame of course lost her right to sue, sort of like a Sibel Edmonds gag order...
