...curious thing about Condit's performance was that there seemed to be so many well-worn paths to redemption. When they heard Condit was finally ready to jump on the media barbecue last week, two of Bill Clinton's many lawyers actually sat around their offices writing the script in their heads. The drill is so routine by now that you can practically download it from meaculpa.com "I did a stupid thing, America. In an attempt to protect my family and Chandra Levy's, I kept my mouth shut when I should have gone immediately to the police. I shouldn...
...World Wrestling Federation has to script this kind of bad-mouthing. On the women's tour, it's as common as a backhand down the line. Part of the fun of women's tennis, besides the fact that players are better than ever before, is the fact that it's a soap opera in which everyone gets to play Alexis Carrington...

They?d arrive to the fanfare of their emi-nence, swiftly rehearse the script, do the show, then zip away to the next emer-gency. Welles was aces at this game. He needn?t spend months reimagining a play script, or weeks in rehearsal...

Meanwhile, JoeytheFilmGeek and the Flick Filosopher write screenplays, which raises the question of whether they can objectively review product by the same film studios they might hope to interest in their scripts. In her recent rave review of Francis Coppola's Apocalypse Now Redux, the Flick Filosopher even mentions having shopped a script unsuccessfully to Coppola's company. Drew McWeeny, an aspiring screenwriter who reviews for AintItCool as "Moriarty," insists that although he too is trying to sell the studios his work...
