    Politicians are a different breed. Self interest always takes precedence over the moral and ethical choices. Those two should go right to the top. You're probably looking at a future President. Nothing gets in the way of ambition. With that awful wife guiding him, he won't even have to think for himself. Full marks to the actor's, they portrayed their loathsome character's to perfection. A horrible, but very well executed, (Sorry about the pun,) story..

    Wow. Two actors I have always appreciated, displaying why I have. Really nice work! Horrible subject matter, and horrible people obviously- I’m just saying how well made it was. I loved Ray Wise in everything I can remember seeing him in- my favorite being his time as Leland Palmer. But I also just watched him in “Digging Up The Marrow”, and enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, especially since I hadn’t heard of it before two hours previous to watching it. Thanks for sharing this!

    These two also starred in Dead End together, a great horror movie. Check it out if you can.

    Ray Wise and Lin Shaye were in "Dead End" (2003) together. It was creepy. They were great in this . . . however horrific!

    Fun video. Great acting. What do you call 10,000 politicians at the bottom of the river? Of course you already know the answer: A good start.

    Is winning the election more important than a person's life?
