...latter is not a word anyone would want to apply to Fur. Or perhaps to any movie as inherently corrupt as this one is. On the one hand, it wants to bandy a famous name about-although what value a cult figure like Arbus has, for the movie audience, even the one that gathers in the upscale specialty theaters, is problematic. On the other hand, it wants to be free to sensationally reinvent her life, mainly in order to provide the audience with images that are simultaneously revolting and sentimental.

...time writes porn. "She's not who she says she is," Head told TIME of Combs, who has been elected and served as both a state representative and Texas Agriculture Comissioner. Head, an attorney who served in the Texas legislature for 14 years, argues that Combs' work should not corrupt young Texans' minds-but her book, A Perfect Match, is out of print and hard to find.

That was generous of them, and foolish, since the film (and the Allen Drury novel on which it was based) portrays Washington as almost systemically corrupt. The scandal at the heart of the plot: the news that one Senator had a homosexual relationship. Really, now, who would believe that...
Although I'm hoping the midterm elections will spell the end of the corrupt Republican regime, I'm disheartened by the cause of the party's downfall, distasteful as it is. The end will not have been brought about by stolen elections, an unprovoked and disastrous war breeding more terrorism or a dangerous and ballooning federal deficit. It's curious that Republicans might be toppled by the Foley fiasco. Seemingly, only a sex scandal can make voters take notice...
