Nothing But the Truth

Has anyone seen this movie? I hope no one posted about this movie already!
My partner and I rented Nothing But the Truth last night. I was expecting little more than the average CIA related drama, but it was actually surprisingly good, in my opinion.
The story is that Rachel Armstrong (played by the wonderful Kate Beckinsale) is a journalist for the Sun Times. She writes a story outing a CIA operative, Erica Van Dorn (Vera Farmiga). Since outing a CIA operative is illegal, the federal government needs to know who Armstrong’s source was…but Armstrong refuses to give it up. Throughout the movie, Armstrong is pressured greatly to give up her source, but refuses; instead she chooses to protect both her source and her integrity as a journalist.

Hilary Clinton in India – talking about her weight!

Here is an article about Clinton’s speech at the Univ. of Delhi from the New York Times.
Unfortunately, I do not intend to highlight the good diplomacy undertaken by Hilary Clinton on her speech at the University of Delhi. I have to point out this statement she made:

“I eat way too much of the food at every chance I get,” Mrs. Clinton said. “I have to go on a diet when I get back home, back to carrots and celery.”

(OK side note – WHY the HELL did the NYTimes have to refer to her as ‘Mrs. Clinton’?!?!?)
Really though? Even the SECRETARY OF STATE is required to make jokes about her eating habits…and indirectly, her weight? Great role model ...
