On the other side, Eli Pariser, the executive director of MoveOn.org and therefore, perhaps, the nation's blognut in chief, proposed the "death of triangulation"-that is, the end of Clintonian moderation-in a Washington Post Op-Ed piece and announced a return to ... well, the party's stupid excesses...

"We don't know--nor do you, nor does anyone, that they have actually hooked up anywhere," says Sanford Panitch, president of New Regency, which is releasing the film, with Clintonian aplomb. Whatever happened, they made a movie in which they look smooth trying to kill or kiss each other. Apart from Jennifer Aniston, who doesn't want to see that? --With reporting by Desa Philadelphia/Los Angeles
