"You Can't Handle the Truth!"
I've been following the case of the fired US attorneys pretty closely over the last few weeks, but this was new to me:
apparently, among the fired is David C. Iglesias from New Mexico who also happens to be the real life military attorney who is portrayed by Tom Cruise in the 1992 movie A Few Good Men.
[This info comes from today's Süddeutsche Zeitung, page 2, and is confirmed here.]
So here's my idea for a sequel:
In Attorneygate - Good Men Are Rare These Days Cause They're All Blown to Smithereens in Iraq, Iglesias (Tom Cruise) is fired by Attorney General Alberto Gonzales (Cuba Gooding Jr.*--don't worry, he can pull it off; he might not have a Mexican background, but his name is Cuba--that's close enough) who was in turn clandestinely ordered to do so by profoundly amoral President George Dubbya Bush (Jack Nicholson) while Valerie Plame (Demi Moore) and Joseph C. Wilson (Kevin Pollak) are being shot in the face stabbed in the back by Evil Overlord Dick Cheney (who would have to play himself because seriously--nobody can portray supreme evil like The Dark Lord himself).
Aaaah, popular culture and politics--what a combination!
*If Cuba is busy shooting yet another useless tearjerker bullshit movie, get Donald Trump to play Gonzales--he'll do anything for money, he's a prick and he'll get the "YOU'RE FIRED!!!" scene just right!
