Indeed, my modest proposals for improving this election season would be to replace all upcoming senatorial, congressional, and gubernatorial debates with screenings of this film. I had missed it when it was in theaters this spring and am very glad to have caught up with it now. So instead I watched the DVD of Alex Gibney's documentary about Jack Abramoff, Casino Jack and the United States of Money. When I wasn't watching the Harry Reid-Sharron Angle clash of the titans last night, and while I certainly did have a beer in hand (a new-to-me, and interesting Sam Adams 'seasonal' - Latitude 48 IPA), I felt vaguely guilty and thought I should be doing something political-season related.
