...Court Justice. To make any of that happen, Bush will have to work with the opposition. But he is getting less of a honeymoon from Democrats after winning an election with a clear majority than he did after winning one decided by the Supreme Court. Leaders of both parties mouth the usual platitudes about wanting to work with the other side, but they are not backing it up with action. Even before the 109th Congress gets down to business in two weeks, "the warning shots that each party is firing across the bow of the other are much more aggressive...
Similarly, Mel Gibson and Michael Moore launched movies outside the big studios, deploying amateur word of mouth to juice the box office. The audiences caught on--showing up not just to see movies but to send a message. They weren't alone.

But the thing seems slapped together without any dramatic shape or reason, other than to let Goldberg get off some anti-Bush zingers (put in the mouth, unconvincingly, of her drugged-out street-hustler character Fontaine). Ensler has done a much better job of shaping The Good Body. But that critique of America's obsession with thinness, based on her interviews with women dissatisfied with their bodies, seems a pale follow-up to her 1996 breakthrough, The Vagina Monologues...
