Another movie about a politician no one will want to see:

Gosh: wonder if this will turn out to be a sympathetic take:

Tragedy? I suppose, if you use the classical definition - "A drama or literary work in which the main character is brought to ruin or suffers extreme sorrow, especially as a consequence of a tragic flaw, moral weakness, or inability to cope with unfavorable circumstances" - but one usually has sympathy for tragic heroes. This story is just too full of ewwww. Still, we're curious to see who steps up to play the guy.

Look at that mug. Think: Cruise.
