Movie Haiku:Frontal assault on Jack Abramoff (now in prison & voiced here by actor Stanley Tucci). Starting in their college years, Abramoff & other Conservative members of the Young Republicans built infrastructure to personally profit from a increasingly deregulated "free market." Jan was fascinated; Rich wanted tighter factual reporting.
