...hottie Megan Fox, this goal remains safely out of reach. Sophie slurs her speech, extols the virtues of vegetarianism, and owns a pet chihuahua, as if the creators of the film woke up and decided that mocking Paris Hilton was a novel and exciting idea. “I resent being forced to gush,” Sidney whines to Clayton in one of his many tirades about how he wants to skewer celebrities, not pander to them. But the movie deals with his sentiment in such a tedious way that it fails to say anything new. These days...
...pretty. This is very bad news. At school, pretty girls tend to be liked only by other pretty girls. The rest of us, whose looks hover somewhere around underwhelming, resent them and whisper archly of their "unearned attention."

If the Pakistani head-of-state more or less hits on her, well, yes, she'll get a sympathy vote, but we're in Dukakis-in-the-tank territory. It's an admiration vaporizer.

They resent his mutual love affair with the press (which he jokingly refers to as "my base"). They remember a lot of foolish talk a while back about how McCain might switch parties and become a Democrat. And yet almost all of these McCain haters will vote for him in November...
...nonsense former Mossad agent who eschews small talk, avoids the Bar Mitzvah circuit most Israeli politicians use to rack up favors and lives quietly in a modest Tel Aviv home with her husband and two sons. And she has strong views on probity in the public sphere. "I resent the idea that corruption comes with the political system," she tells Time in her glass-and-wood-paneled Jerusalem office.
