...leave the White House wide open for the Democrats. Still, on Friday anyway, Bush was only too ready to trade on his father's highly successful foreign policy record. The irony is that the more W. sounds like his father, the more he risks suffering the same fate at the hands of a third party...
...pushes on. We'll be busy tonight rolling the dice--and tossing black balls--deciding magazine fate. And next week, once again, we wuss out. But this time it's your fault: You won't be here.

It is a lovely clue to one of the movie's themes, as Almodovar describes it: "the capacity of women to act without being professional actresses: to lie, to fake, to perform. Men and women both have loneliness, pain, the same kind of suffering...
