...rather endure another bad-hair day than bring this up), Legally Blonde 2 also empowers that widely ignored factor in American politics, our fundamental good nature. That is to say, it allows the constituency among us that favors meaningful gun control and environmental protection (and darkly suspects that Paul Wolfowitz is Dr. Strangelove's nephew) to win one for a change.
