Must See Movie- Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story

Just saw this movie tonight. Simply outstanding. An extremely important look into the no-holds-barred approach to politics that brought the Republicans into power, but also destroyed them.

3. It was told to me...
By some people who would know that Atwater and his people, while working on the Bush I campaign, were doing mountains of the finest cocaine available at the time.

Which explains a lot.
