...shot that script over and over again. In 2004, Samuel L. Jackson and Juliette Binoche made In My Country about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission hearings in the mid- to late '90s, and Hilary Swank starred as an attorney representing a black South African political activist seeking amnesty in Red Dust. Then came Catch a Fire (terrorism during apartheid) with Tim Robbins in 2006 and Goodbye Bafana (the friendship between Mandela and his white prison guard) with Joseph Fiennes in 2007.

...Senator Hutchison was in Houston touting her work in Washington and her support for the federal deductability of state sales taxes. "The Senator is on the front lines in working against the Obama Administration and their unnecessary spending," her spokesman said. It was weak tea compared to Perry's red rhetoric.
