Ultimately, the heart of Bridget Jones’s Diary is Zellweger. Despite all the controversy concerning the casting of the petite Texan as the British Bridget (London’s Evening Standard declared the decision an act of “clunking, Hollywood idiocy,” noting that casting Zellweger as Bridget Jones was like casting Jude Law as the Elephant Man), Zellweger absolutely sparkles and charms in the role. With an additional and visibly obvious 20 pounds added to her normally petite frame, it initially appears as if the filmmakers have missed the point of Bridget Jones...
...intelligence. Mark Buse, 35, has been doing that job for McCain for 17 years. He became so adept at rooting out legislative pork that McCain calls him "the Ferret."

But really, he's with Keith and Tina, against Jerri and Amber - although can you trust a man wearing sunglasses to tell...
...president who has been to the parent-teacher night at the local high school. Despite his family name and his privileged education, Bush revels in the rituals of everyday life. When he said his farewell in the Texas senate, he said he is and will always be a Texan and broke into tears. Much of America may be conflicted about who he is, but he is not. His talent, as it's now easy to see looking back past the election to his years in Texas, is not campaigning but leadership. Just as he didn't think he was weak...
