Okay, this is going to be a relatively short alert, to let everyone know that the movie "Boogieman, the Lee Atwater Story" is going to be aired on PBS's show "Frontline" tonight, Tuesday, November 11th at 9 PM.
Lee Atwater, for those who have forgotten him, was the creator of the race-baiting "Willie Horton" ad that helped Bush 41 beat Michael Dukakis in the 1988 election. Dukakis was perhaps not the most dynamic campaigner, but he would have brought a lot more to the Presidency than Bush did.

Atwater was Karl Rove's mentor. What did little Karl learn at Lee's knees? Tune in to find out. My guess is a casual disregard for the truth, in favor of slander and scare tactics.
Just guessing.
