Don’t laugh. Hollyweird will probably release a movie next year starring George Clooney as FitzGerald and Baldwin as Joe Wilson. They can get any floozy off the street to play Plame.
The film will depict Bush & Rove & Cheney plotting to tell lie after lie, and invade nation after nation in order to secure oil rights. Wilson will try to expose these lies, being an honest and upright patriot. Plame will be depicted as a top secret, undercover operative who is in the midst of a delicate national security operation in Pakistan. In fact, she’s on the verge of capturing Osama when suddenly her cover is exposed when Bush & Co. order Scooter Libby to leak her name to the press.
The trial of the century will then take place, with Libby being convicted for the “leak” but Bush & Rove & Cheney escaping due to lies and obfuscation. The film will end with FitzGerald, Wilson, and Plame wondering sadly what has become of the America they once loved.
There actually IS such a film in the works.
