Ready for their close-ups?
This can't be a joke because there's a writers strike on and jokes are out for the duration. So in all unscripted seriousness, I ask, could Hollywood really be smarter than Washington?

Patt Morrison Asks: Janice Hahn, born to run
![The last time there was nobody by the name of Hahn in L.A. politics, there was a man by the name of Truman in the White House. Now Janice Hahn moves her political game from the Los Angeles City Council to a place down the road from the executive mansion: Congress. Daughter of legendary county Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, sister of former Mayor James Hahn, the Democrat won the special election to replace Jane Harman in the coastal/South Bay 36th Congressional District. I talked to her en route from the airport into Washington, less than 48 hours before her swearing-in. She's been to Washington before, but she was seeing it with different eyes: "Mr. Smith" eyes. At one point, she exclaimed, "I'm looking at the Washington Monument right this second; oh, there's the White House! Oh very cool!" Can she keep her cool in the overheated climate of Capitol Hill -- and keep her seat next year?](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/column/2011-07/63443688-22171309-187104.jpg "The last time there was nobody by the name of Hahn in L.A. politics, there was a man by the name of Truman in the White House.

'War' Backers Lack Will to Succeed
![Something doesn't smell right with "Charlie Wilson's War." I'm not particularly concerned with the specific facts it has left out of its telling. But what has been left in feels compromised and dodgy. The film glides along on the polish provided by the on-screen and off-screen talent, and when the 90-odd minutes have run their course, you're left with a sensation of punches pulled and a $75 million budget protected.](http://www.zap2it.com/media/alternatethumbnails/story/2007-12/34363460-20114217.jpg "Something doesn't smell right with "Charlie Wilson's War.\" I'm not particularly concerned with the specific facts it has left out of its telling.
