Meanwhile, the romantic element asserts itself in the form of Jack Dale (Steve Raizes), Karin's long-lost high school sweetheart. After 15 years, Jack returns to Las Colinas with his soon-to-be third wife, Virginia (Jenni Paredes), a suitably annoying blonde Southern bimbo archetype. Jack has promised to take Virginia to the cotillion that evening and to announce their engagement at a luncheon the next day. His highpowered corporate boss, a forceful cellular presence, seems to have other plans...
...long as possible, to give it an epic sweep--great armies on the march, great men nobly surveying the terrain, great men brought down by tragic flaws (hubris, a voice that sounds like a peanut grinder, a big fishy loan, a shadowy past at the draft board, a bimbo in the closet). But it is humiliation enough just to run for President. Scandal hardly makes it worse. Scandal, in fact, endears the candidate to us.

A group of tight-faced suburban matrons discuss their plastic surgery. ("Was it painful?" "No, darling, it was Silverman.")

"You know...
...contribution to Clinton's election was stopping negative stories about the candidate. She made some notable gaffes, however, including issuing a premature denial that Clinton had ever used cocaine -- answering the question before it was even asked. During the spring and summer of 1992, she coined the unseemly phrase "bimbo eruptions" to describe the targets of her work. Wright hired San Francisco private detective Jack Palladino at a reported cost of more than $100,000 to investigate women who were making claims about relationships with Clinton. So protective of Clinton was Wright during the campaign that other top campaign officials...
