Either HBO or Showtime. Both are very good. And I didn't realize how much I'd forgotten about the Abramoff scandal until the movie refreshed my memory. Rep. Bob Ney is another legislator who is skewered in the movie--and we get to see him handcuffed at the end.

It's worth checking the schedules or 'On Demand' for anyone with premium cable.
