 Sincere apologies to an American hero, Tammy Duckworth, and gratitude for her family's service. #ilsen — Mark Kirk (@MarkKirk) October 28, 2016 
  
 ADVERTISEMENT During a debate between the Senate candidates on Thursday, Kirk drew criticism for his reply to Duckworth’s remarks about her family history. 
  
 Answering a question on Middle East policy, Duckworth — an Iraq War veteran — detailed her family's military service going back to the American Revolution. 
  
 "I forgot that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington," Kirk responded. 
  
 Duckworth's mother is an immigrant from Thailand, and her father is a World War II veteran. 
  
 The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee called for Kirk to apologize immediately after the debate. 
  
 "Thankful for @TammyforIL's—and her family's—service to this country. It's really not that hard to grasp, @MarkKirk," Clinton wrote. 
  
 "The same Mark Kirk that unendorsed his party's presidential nominee and called him out in paid ads? Gotcha. Good luck," Conway wrote. 
  
 Kirk withdrew his endorsement of Trump for president in June after the billionaire's inflammatory comments about a federal judge’s Mexican heritage. Earlier this week, Kirk refused to say whom he will vote for on Nov. 8. 
  
 Kirk, considered one of the most vulnerable incumbent senators facing reelection, trails Duckworth by 7 points in the latest RealClearPolitics polling average. 
  
 Updated at 12:49 p.m. ||||| Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk, answers questions during the first televised debate with Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, in what's considered a crucial race that could determine which party controls the Senate, Oct. 27, 2016, at the University of Illinois in Springfield, Ill. 
  
 Sen. Mark Kirk apologized to his opponent Rep. Tammy Duckworth Friday after making a racially charged comment about her parents during a debate. 
  
 Kirk tweeted the apology, writing "Sincere apologies to an American hero, Tammy Duckworth, and gratitude for her family's service. #ilsen." 
  
 His campaign also issued a statement about the comment that sparked backlash at Thursday's debate. 
  
 “Senator Kirk has consistently called Rep. Duckworth a war hero and honors her family’s service to this country,” Kirk spokeswoman Eleni Demertzis said in a statement. “But that’s not what this debate was about. Rep. Duckworth lied about her legal troubles, was unable to defend her failures at the VA and then falsely attacked Senator Kirk over his record on supporting gay rights.” 
  
 At Thursday’s debate, which was hosted at the University of Illinois Springfield’s Sangamon Auditorium, Kirk mocked Duckworth’s family history of military service after the congresswoman said her family has “served this nation in uniform going back to the Revolution.” 
  
 “I had forgotten your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington,” Kirk responded. 
  
 Duckworth, who lost both legs piloting a Black Hawk helicopter over Iraq in 2004, was born in Bangkok to a Thai mother of Chinese descent. Her father was a U.S. Army veteran. 
  
 Kirk’s comment was met with silence in the auditorium and thunderous condemnation on social media. 
  
 “That remark made by [Mark Kirk] about [Tammy Duckworth's] ancestry is about the lowest thing I’ve seen in a debate,” Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller said in a tweet. 
  
 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway also took the opportunity to slam Kirk, who has disavowed Trump and taken out ads distancing himself from the divisive billionaire. 
  
 "The same Mark Kirk that unendorsed his party's presidential candidate and called him out in paid ads," Conway tweeted Thursday. "Gotcha. Good luck." |||||

SOLUTION: Sen. Mark Kirk has apologized for a comment he made Thursday during a debate with challenger Tammy Duckworth that was met with "thunderous condemnation" around the country, NBC Chicago reports. "I forgot that your parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington," the Hill quotes the Illinois Republican as saying during the debate. The congresswoman's mother immigrated from Thailand, but her father—an American WWII veteran—traces his family's military service back to the Revolutionary War. Duckworth herself lost both legs while serving in Iraq. "Sincere apologies to an American hero, Tammy Duckworth, and gratitude for her family's service," Kirk tweeted Friday. His campaign also issued a statement: "Sen. Kirk has consistently called Rep. Duckworth a war hero and honors her family’s service to this country."

PROBLEM: ​CNN ​is being sued by two EMTs who say a foreign ​correspondent ​for the cable news network ​bit them​ ​in a drunken rage outside the US Embassy​ in Baghdad​. 
  
 A​rwa Damon, described by the cable network as a senior international correspondent, was intoxicated and abusive to a medical team stationed on the grounds of the embassy, where Damon did not have authority to be, ​according to the $2 million lawsuit​ filed in Manhattan on Monday​. 
  
 According to the lawsuit, Damon, 36, bit EMT​​s Tracy Lamar and Charles Simons before threatening them, saying she was a “major reporter for CNN.” 
  
 The medics were trying to treat Damon when she became violent, the lawsuit said. 
  
 It was not clear what sparked the incident. 
  
 The suit claims CNN knew Damon had a history of drunken and abusive behavior, and had a penchant for violence, even when sober. 
  
 The EMTs are each suing for $1 million. 
  
 CNN did not immediately return a call for comment.

SOLUTION: CNN reporter Arwa Damon is known for venturing into war zones, but she may now be better known for her sharp teeth. Two EMTs at the US embassy in Baghdad, Tracy Lamar and Charles Simons, say in a $2 million lawsuit filed yesterday that a " seriously intoxicated" Damon bit them while they were treating her July 19, reports the New York Post. Embassy staff called the EMTs to pacify an "out of control" Damon, who had no authority to be on embassy grounds, adds the New York Daily News. Damon reportedly threatened the pair, and named-dropped herself as a "major reporter for CNN." The suit accuses CNN of continuing to employ Damon even though she’s reportedly abusive—and has a "penchant for violence even when sober," adds the Post. Damon has already apologized to embassy staff via email, which Gawker notes "begins like so many sorry-I-was-drunk-and-don't-remember-anything notes. 'Hey,' she writes. Hey." In it, Damon blames her "disastrous behavior" on a lack of "proper food all day. I clearly miscalculated how my body would handle the alcohol consumed. Needless to say, I am utterly mortified and take full responsibility for my actions, which are inexcusable." The EMTs' lawyer is already calling the email "Exhibit 1" in the suit.

PROBLEM: I'm not ready to give up on Richard Kelly and his questing intelligence as a filmmaker. Memories of Donnie Darko stay strong, no matter how much Kelly's focus came unglued in 2006's Southland Tales and now, to a lesser extent, in The Box. The premise, drawn from a 1980's Twilight Zone episode itself drawn from Richard Matheson's short story Button, Button, is creepily delicious. The setting is the suburbs of Virginia, near NASA's Langley Research Center. The year is 1976 when NASA's Viking Project became the first U.S. mission to land a spacecraft on the surface of Mars and send photos back to earth. Frank Langella (Oscar nominee for Frost/Nixon) is wonderfully sinister as an elegant stranger with a hole in his cheek who shows up — the box in hand — at the home of NASA engineer Arthur Lewis (James Marsden) and his teacher wife, Norma (Cameron Diaz). His proposition: Push the button on the box and win a million bucks. The catch: Somebody dies, but it's somebody you don't know. 
  
 Get more news and reviews from Peter Travers on the Travers Take. 
  
 The couple, in a financial pinch regarding their son, Walter (Sam Oz Stone), agonizes over it. But it's Norma who does the button pushing. Later, another woman will do the same thing while hubby holds back. Does this indicate a misogynist streak in Kelly? The movie gets bogged down in so much exposition that you stop caring. Diaz and Marsden look narcotized throughout. But the images Kelly creates of an alien infiltration of the suburbs harks back to Invasion of the Body Snatchers. This gives the alleged festivities around the wedding of Norma's sister a genuine chilling effect, notably a dance sequence set to the tune of 'When Joanna Loved Me.' What a shame that Kelly's pacing doesn't run as fast as his imagination. Instead of sweeping you along, The Box just sits there like something unclaimed at lost and found. Damaged goods. ||||| Movie Review 
  
 The Box 
  
 'The Box': Don't even bother opening this one 
  
 Cameron Diaz in 'The Box,' a movie from director Richard Kelly that misses the mark completely. 
  
 A couple makes a potentially deadly choice. With Cameron Diaz, James Marsden. Director: Richard Kelly (1:55). PG-13: Violence, disturbing images. At area theaters. 
  
 Some directors, it must be said, only have one really good movie in them. We're starting to worry that Richard Kelly may be among this select group. 
  
 Kelly impressed legions of college kids with his 2001 debut, "Donnie Darko." He followed that edgy cult hit with the disastrous "Southland Tales," so his third time out is especially important. And the best to be said is that it's not "Southland Tales." 
  
 But "The Box" is its own kind of awful, a disconnected mess that never finds its reason for being. Based on Richard Matheson's "Button, Button," a (great) short story that was turned into a (pretty good) "Twilight Zone" episode, Kelly's attempt misses the mark completely. Where the two previous versions were pointedly precise, "The Box" sprawls sloppily, encompassing unexplained aliens, a screechy score, preposterous special effects, and two stars with no idea what they're doing. 
  
 As a NASA engineer in 1976, James Marsden's Arthur has been directly involved in a mission to Mars. This may or may not be why a creepy stranger (Frank Langella) delivers the titular gift to his home. 
  
 Arthur's wife, Norma (Cameron Diaz), is given a choice: She can pass the box on, or push the button inside. If she chooses the latter, she'll earn $1 million, and a stranger will die. 
  
 Norma takes the bait, but it's the movie that immediately expires. Rather than ending the story with a punch, as Matheson did, Kelly wanders aimlessly, leaving crater-sized gaps in his wake. All we learn for sure is that women always push the button, and their husbands are always loyal and loving enough to forgive them just before they're cruelly punished for their greed. 
  
 It's no great reflection on Kelly that Marsden - normally so charismatic - sleepwalks through the movie. But Diaz fares worst of all, having chosen (or been instructed) to make vacant idiocy Norma's defining trait. 
  
 So now you have your own choice to consider: Spend your time and money on Kelly's take, or watch the original "Twilight Zone" episode at home on YouTube. 
  
 If only all decisions were this easy.

SOLUTION:
Critics are split on The Box, the new film from writer-director Richard Kelly, known for the much-loved Donnie Darko and the reviled Southland Tales. Some takes on the flick about a box with a mysterious, life-changing button: Pass, writes writes Elizabeth Weitzman in the New York Daily News. Don't "spend your time and money on Kelly's take" on the Richard Matheson short story. Just "watch the original Twilight Zone episode at home on YouTube." Not so, writes Stephanie Zacharek for Salon. The '70s period piece "is deftly unshowy" and "builds suspense the old-fashioned way, sometimes seeming more like a movie actually made in the '70s than a contemporary one set in that era." Interesting stuff, but that's not enough for Peter Travers. "What a shame that Kelly's pacing doesn't run as fast as his imagination," he writes in Rolling Stone. It's not great, but it is a Richard Kelly film, writes Rene Rodriguez in the Miami Herald. "The Box is a mess, but it's a curiously haunting, intriguing, brain-tickling mess, and it delivers that Donnie Darko feeling in truckloads."
