SCOOP:
Plame On!
Plame On!
COOL TV STUFF. While
the ravening Democrat
hordes have been hunting down Karl Rove, news from the entertainment
arena has been building to a climax. We are pleased to announce --
courtesy of Rita Cosby, late of the Fox News Channel -- that Valerie
Plame will be starring in an NBC television series based on her own
exploits as an undercover CIA agent. Rita, in her new capacity as
anchorman of the Big Girl News Network (BGNN) has learned that the
former spy is about to begin filming episodes for "Valerie Flame, DC
Undercover," which will debut on the fall schedule opposite Fox's "24."
NBC producer Mary Mapes says of the new series:
Thanks to BGNN, InstaPunk has obtained storyboards of the pilot episode now being filmed, which you can see here. WARNING: It's definitely NSFW, much in the tradition of NYPD Blue and, well, Nip/Tuck.
Plame's husband, Joseph Wilson, is being played by the film legend James Brolin. Asked for a comment, Wilson said, "I'm way too nonpartisan to have an opinion. But if it's something Val wants to do, I'm all for it. And I hope George Bush dies in the gutter and rots in hell with an empty can of Drano in his hand."
Actually, we didn't ask him about about George Bush, but he volunteered his thoughts anyway. We can only trust that the new series is as nonpartisan as Mr. Wilson. And according to Ms. Mapes, it is. "No politics," she said. "Just action. And sex. And violence. The idi--, er, average American viewers will love it."
Let us know what you think.

We promised we would. Her necklace is nicer than Laurie's.
"Its advantage over "24" is that it's
real. R-E-A-L. Life as a spy in
the most dangerous city in the world. James Bond may jet off to Rangoon
and Pnom Penh, but Val has had to fight for her life on a daily basis
in Washington, DC. It doesn't get any rougher and meaner than that."
