Who by now doesn’t know the tangled, twisted story of Valerie Plame?
In case you just came in from the cold, the former CIA agent’s cover was blown after her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, wrote a blistering New York Times opinion piece charging the Bush administration with manipulating WMD intelligence to justify the Iraq war.
Then came Scooter and Judith and Karl; the clarion calls for frog-marching; the double secret background e-mails; the turning of aspens and the rest.
This month, the sexy ex-spy’s memoir, “Fair Game,” landed on bestseller lists. Earlier this year it was optioned for a Warner Bros. film produced by Jerry Zucker, (who co-wrote the “Naked Gun” series and directed “Ghost”), his wife, Janet, and Oscar-winning scribe Akiva Goldsman (who penned the screenplays for “A Beautiful Mind” and “The Da Vinci Code.”)
I interviewed Plame by phone earlier this week to discuss the upcoming biopic, as well the entire espionage movie genre:
Q: What’s the status of your movie project?
We have a powerful script. In my book, I tried to write as honestly as I could about the personal and professional aspects of my life. The script follows the book fairly closely, but obviously the writers take [liberties]. It’s factual up to a point, and where there were areas I couldn’t speak to them about, they drew from their vivid imaginations.

It appears the CIA had and still has a number of real certifiable skanks on the payroll..
She was not a spy so she knows as much as Al Broccoli did when he wrote 007.
I think they should get Jesse Ventura or that guy from “The Shield” to play Richard Armitage.
When I first heard they were doing this I asked if it was a comedy.
IMHO, this movie will never see the light of day and the option on her book was just a political payoff from H’wood liberals to their favorite pair of cartoon spies since Boris and Natasha.
Surely you mean Ian Fleming?
Another Hollywood BOMB in the making.
I bet Plame poses naked for Playboy next.
She did, however, work in the WMD analysis section. Why hasn't she ever been called to task on the erroneous claim of WMD in Iraq. Somehow that was Pres. Bush's fault, though his information came from NSA and CIA.
LOL Good call....after that she'll hook up with a 22 year old studboy, dump her puke hubby in name only and have about ten times fifteen seconds of fame.
Amazing! Not one mention of the actual leaker Dick Armitage.
ian fleming knew a thing or two about spies.
In the article, it sounds to me like she’s gunning for George Clooney. What do you want to bet she trades in old Joe Isuzu for a snazzier model?
actually, this may have promise as a movie. if valerie is played by leslie nielson in drag.
:)
I really hope Tom Cruise decides to produce this, and they spend $50 million on it. Hollyweird has already lost $22 million this year alone on America-bashing flicks.
The only film featuring Ms. Plame which would sell is a porno.
eeew!!!
Cover? IIRC, she had not been covert for five years when this happened. In order to have one's cover blown, one must be undercover and she was clearly not.
Narcissists! Damn them and their enablers :)
What do you want to bet she trades in old Joe Isuzu for a snazzier model?
ROFLMAO................She will
I’ve wanted to ask her if she was “undercover” why she was donating $ to liberal politcal campaigns long before she was “outed”. Great way to stay “anonymous”. BTW, who the hell would buy this stupid book? Even liberal house organs like the WaPo consider Wilson a liar.
LOL!! She wants to have Clooney or Michael Douglas play lyin’g Joe! Too funny.....
I have some better casting (now this would be a movie almost worth seeing):
Valerie Plame: Paris Hilton
Joe Wilson: Rosie O’Donnell
Nicholas Kristof: Sean Penn
Chrissy Matthews: Britney Spears
David Corn: Woody Harrelson
Patrick Fitzfong: Christina Aguilera
Richard Armitage: Jesse Ventura
I never realized just how intelligent my doddering and slobbering 91 year old grandpa was when he told me what a mess the world has become as we became more tolerant of fools, knaves and politicians and far too “civilized” in dealing with our external and domestic enemies.
He was one very serious “hard ass”.
This was about 40 years ago, when I regarded him as just a sad and bitter old fool...
Now I see just how right and bright he was!
I also find myself telling my own grandchildren pretty much the same story!
Since most of her story is a hoax, the cast would be more appropriate as:
Valerie Plame: Crystal Gail Mangum (Durham’s nappy headed lying Ho)
Joe Wilson: Mike Nifong (The bastard who tried to make political hits with a myth and no facts)
brilliant casting!!
I still want Paris Hilton also to play another flaky, dishonest, publicity-seeking whore, though, so if Crystal Gail Magnum gets to play Valerie Plame then I think Paris Hilton should get to play Chrissy Matthews. Sure she’d have to pack on some pounds or wear a fat suit, but she would be ideal for the role of the man who played such a dishonest role in fanning the flames for so long without ever troubling himself to examine the actual facts.
That works for me!
In fact, I like it!!
I've always suspected little Chrissy Mathews was a sissy who squats to pee, and bitches when the seat is left up...
His constant anger at real men, is due to his failure to verify the seat was down - resulted in his ass dropping into so many filthy toilets that his ass is covered with flaming rash pimples and open puss draining boils...
Paris Hilton, the brainless skank who can't even justify her whoring on a financial need basis is just about right to be Chrissy.....
They're both born skanks......perfect for each other.
