great "interpretation" of asswipe. His character's name is Dickie Pilager. How appropriate. I hadn't heard of this movie until I went to Blockbuster. It is about a crooked politician and the evil empire behind him pushing him to the top. It shows the environmental devastation that these moneymongers leave in their wake. Made me so sad to think of what they are doing to this planet and the people inhabiting it. sigh.... Here is a description of it....

Description
Grammatically challenged, user friendly gubernatorial candidate Dicky Pilager has just launched a rosy campaign for the citizens of the New West. But things take an unexpected turn when the taping of an environmental political ad ends up with Pilager reeling in a corpse. Enter his ferocious campaign manager, Chuck Raven who hires idealistic journalist turned rumpled private detective Danny O'Brien to investigate potential links between the corpse and the Pilager family's enemies. In the tradition of the great films noir, Danny's investigation pulls him deeper and deeper into a complex web of influence and corruption, involving high stakes lobbyists, media conglomerates, environmental, plunderers, and undocumented migrant workers. Written and directed by John Sayles

1. I liked the scene where he's out riding ...

Pilager is perched uneasily on top of a horse. I imagine that's how Dubya would look if he ever visited President Fox of Mexico and could not get out of a riding photo-op.
