The news about Mr. Mele drew a more vitriolic reaction from left-leaning commentators. A prominent Web activist who goes by the online name Atrios, Duncan Black, reacted to the news by tarring the McCain devotee with a British vulgarity similar to "jerk."
Except of course when they do:
Manhattanite "Kat" Ellis (Debra Messing) has to attend her sister's wedding in England. The best man, awkwardly, is her ex-fiance, who dumped her shortly before their own wedding. Unwilling to show up alone, she does what anyone would do - namely, pilfers $6,000 from her 401K to purchase the weekend services of the Big Apple's top male escort, Nick Mercer (Mr. Mulroney). From this premise the film proceeds pretty much as you'd expect: Nick wows the assembled wedding guests; Kat overcomes her heartbreak; the two interact with lovable Brits who use words like "scrumpy" and "wanker"; and, eventually (come to think of it, rather quickly), they fall in love.
