Now that you know I'm not an old dude, I can admit to having a little crush on Kate Beckinsale without seeming creepy. It dates back to her tour de force performance in noted cinematic classic Brokedown Palace (which I saw only because Claire Danes was in it; little did I know Kate would win my affections!), and has survived -- if tenuously -- even through the debacles of Serendipity, Van Helsing, and the like.

However, this threatens to annihilate that sentiment completely. Kate Beckinsale as Judy "I sold the Iraq war to the American public through the New York Times" Miller? Really?? And apparently Matt Damon may also sully his good name with this ridiculousness.

Because when I think of the Valerie Plame debacle, the protagonist that immediately comes to my mind is . . . Judy Miller.

*sigh*

In any case, chat away.
