Checking in from Austin. Alex Gibney just previewed a couple of short segments from his still-in-production documentary on Jack Abramoff: Casino Jack and the United States of Money. I’m very jealous of some of the video they’ve managed to dig up of Abramoff, Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed from their early days as swashbuckling young Republicans. Later today I’ll be interviewing Gibney, who won an Oscar this year for Taxi to the Dark Side, and picking his brain on how he found all this great old footage.
