I so want to like this. Its washington, its the west wing, already youre in with the intrigue and itsJessica Chastain and a very fine director, so all the omens look good. So the story isJessica Chastain is a lobbyist who gets embroiled in a battle between the people who want controls on gun sales and those who want to sell more guns. Early on she is enlisted by a group of people who say, were trying to make guns seem more popular. We want to get guns to appeal to women. She literally laughs them out of the room.

And she told me that she often reads davids books to him because he likes to listen to his words and see where he might be boring. When you google David Mccollou
