...intended to make fun of the dorkiness of people who call each other "pard," but instead just makes Charlie seem dorky. He tosses dead bodies down the world's largest spiral staircase while James hangs back, horrified, clutching an urn full of cocaine (which most people would have left in the car). Charlie also has a quickie with a prostitute, snorts some of said cocaine on the Eiffel Tower and shoots a woman in the head at a dinner party. Yet still, the conviction of his cool eludes him.

She left her high-powered banking job in New York City and moved to South Carolina for him - willingly, she says. She ran four successful campaigns for him, more or less willingly, for no pay. She spent six years raising their four kids pretty much alone while he was in Washington...
...prices, ready-to-ship inventory, shrewd consumer product reviews, low shipping fees and the holiday season's trendiest gadget, the Kindle. It refused to back down from pricing wars with Walmart and Target over books, and made a big push into electronics to tap the void left by the demise of Circuit City and Tweeter over the past year.
