Doug Ireland blogs at Direland.Once in a very rare while, something pops up on the little screen that makes you want to call everyone you know and shriek, "WATCH!" The superb documentary about Karl Rove -- "Bush's Brain" -- will air on the evening of November 1, on the Sundance Channel, at 10:10 E.S.T.
The film is based on the meticulously researched investigative bio of the same name by two solid Texas journalists (James Moore and Wayne Slater). It explains the strategy that brought Bush first to the Texas State House, then to the White House, and shows you how and why The Twit's re-election campaign this year was planned waaaaay in advance, and has gone perfectly according to Rove's script. I doubt that you'll be able to resist buying the book once you've seen the film--which is scary, and damning, and even--by turns--quite funny. If you have any friends or neighbors who are even considering voting for TheTwit--poor you!--invite them over the night before the voting starts on any pretext and make them watch it. "Bush's Brain" is more effective than a hundred of those dreadful Kerry commercials.
Call up your local paper and insist they pre-review it (their reviewer can get a screening copy of theDVD of the film by e-mailing Susan Mainzer at susan@bushsbrain.comf, or by ringing Susan at 213-840-0077.) Then, pour yourself a stiff one, sit back, and watch The Man Behind the Curtain...
