...another child during recess, it's almost justifiable, because we've seen her being picked on. So when one of her teachers tells her mother Hillary (Felicity Huffman) and father, Peter (Bill Pullman), "Something's going on with Phoebe," we're initially as dubious as they are. It soon becomes apparent, though, that Phoebe is not a spirited child being oppressed, but either mentally ill or suffering from an undiagnosed syndrome.

And it continues to expand its base. Last fall Gibbons put out the latte-table book Watching...
...rest of the Republican Party. "Do they want to see the President's economic agenda fail?" Gibbs asked reporters. Michael Steele, the new GOP chairman, rushed to say no. Limbaugh, Steele said, is "an entertainer" given to "incendiary" and "ugly" overstatements. Like party leaders before him, however, Steele soon apologized to the man who claims 20 million listeners...
