Michael and Us: Enemy at the Gaetz
Summary
The HBO documentary THE SWAMP (2020) follows three "maverick" Republican congressmen who seek to fulfill Donald Trump's promise to "drain the swamp," even if that means alienating their party leaders. But what you really need to know about this documentary is that the main one is Matt Gaetz, and he is a huge doofus. PLUS: thoughts on Canada Day, Alex Gibney's Agents of Chaos, and a look back at the media coverage of the War in Iraq.
