Watch a couple of scenes from one of my favorite movies, “Bob Roberts,” a mockumentary about a conservative politician/folk singer (Tim Robbins) who rallies fear and hate to win an election. Below is a debate between the singer and his liberal statesman opponent, played by Gore Vidal. Watching it again for the first time in in a long time, it’s amazing how well it’s aged.
Does this sound like every debate you’ve ever heard the last 20 years?
