“Casino Jack and the United States of Money”–A Look at Corporate Money and Politics
Abramoff_web As a Supreme Court ruling opens the floodgates for corporations to affect elections, we take a look at corporate money and politics with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney. His new documentary, Casino Jack and the United States of Money, focuses on the rise and fall of disgraced Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. We also speak with David Sickey, a member of the Tribal Council of the Coushatta Tribe, and Tom Rodgers, a lobbyist and member of the Blackfeet tribe who was a key whistleblower in the Abramoff case. Outside of the film, this is Rodgers’ first national broadcast interview.

Transcript on the site for hearing impaired or those who have slow connection for video.

This is an excellent watch ...and mentions SUPREME COURT DECISION and how it might BREED even MORE Abramoff/DeLays. Clips from the movie and heartwrenching stories of CORRUPTION...at the end.
