They are making a movie based upon the Valerie Plame affair. The article announcing it in Variety reads more like an oped - a very wrong oped as in the writer makes assertions that are patently untrue. But that isn't the point here, It's the movie and I think I have a way for this to really make money.
We all know that Wilson and his wife play fast and loose with the truth. We all know that the only people who think Wilson is honest is...well...there must be somebody - maybe Ted Kennedy. In any case, it really won't be Oscar material and it won't be breaking any box office records. I used the title "Fair Game" because that is Plame's book title - if the CIA ever lets her publish it. Liar, Liar might be a better choice, but that's been taken.
On to my Idea. If they really want to make money on this thing, they should make it a musical. Mrs VW and I sat down and thought of some likely song titles that will ensure this movie is a box office smash!
Nuthin' Says Lovin' Like Yellow Cake from the Oven
Don't Plame Me!
Mama, Don't let Your Babies Grow Up to be Undercover CIA Agents
Out Me baby, Out Me Good Now!
The Hills Are Alive With the Sound of Rumors
Richard, "the Dick" Armitage, Parley Vous? (ya gotta know yer WWI songs to get that one)
I saw Novak Kissing Karl Rove
Bushwacked!
Mr. Cheney's Clandestine White House Band
That's what we came up with. Tell us your song suggestions!

Somebody must've thought Mr. Wilson was truthful, the Republican gov't sent him all the way to Africa to find out if yellow-cake uranium was being sold to Saddam.
