This is the country where anything is possible, where even a catchy tune can catapult a politician to the heights of the greasy pole. Teaming up with a folk-singer, one hopeful candidate for the US Senate makes a record that spins faster than any spin doctor! Soon they are climbing to the top of the hit parade, proving that image, a good tune and a bit of pure schmaltz mean more today than substance and detail. More amazing than Watergate and more film mileage than a Ronald Reagan B-movie, Bob Roberts says it all about politics! (Umbrella Entertainment)
