...Canary was in charge when Young spoke about his payments to the Sessions and Pryor campaigns and to other Alabama Republicans. At the same time, her husband's consulting firm, Capitol Group LLC, was being paid close to $40,000 to advise Pryor. A source who held a senior post in Canary's office during the long-running investigation into Siegelman says it's almost inconceivable that Canary would not have been informed of Young's charges against prominent Republican officeholders and candidates.

Blunt, nearly unrecognizable with her darker, shorter hair, plays Prudie, a melancholy French teacher married to a sports-frenzied jock-type (Marc Blucas) who thinks “Austen” refers to the capitol of Texas. After her husband cancels their trip to Paris—poor Prudie has never been to France—she meets a woman at a Jane Austen movie marathon. The two connect over their love of the author, and she invites Prudie to join her and some romantically challenged friends...
