WE'RE NOT in the habit of writing movie reviews. But the recently released film "Fair Game" - which covers a poisonous Washington controversy during the war in Iraq - deserves some editorial page comment, if only because of what its promoters are saying about it. The protagonists portrayed in the movie, former diplomat Joseph C. Wilson IV and former spy Valerie Plame, claim that it tells the true story of their battle with the Bush administration over Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and Ms. Plame's exposure as a CIA agent. "It's accurate," Ms. Plame told The Post. Said Mr. Wilson: "For people who have short memories or don't read, this is the only way they will remember that period."
We certainly hope that is not the case. In fact, "Fair Game," based on books by Mr. Wilson and his wife, is full of distortions - not to mention outright inventions.
This is how the Washington Post editorial starts! Gosh, I remember when only Neanderthals like myself disputed the notion that these two clowns were brave truth tellers!
I had few hopes for the quality of the movie when I heard about it. The district idiots don't even understand what really happened around them.
And I still haven't had my question about why the buffoon Joe Wilson was sent on such an important mission in the first place.
