Whoa! Out on DVD Tuesday?
"Point of Order."

The IMDB synopsis:

Point of Order is compiled from TV footage of the 1954 Army-McCarthy hearings, in which the Army accused Senator McCarthy of improperly pressuring the Army for special privileges for Private David Schine, formerly of McCarthy's investigative staff. McCarthy accused the Army of holding Schine hostage to keep him from searching for Communists in the Army. These hearings resulted in McCarthy's eventual censure for conduct unbecoming a senator.

No details on the video release. A poster on the "Good Night, and Good Luck" message board said "Point of Order" was coming out Sept. 20.

(If you click the link, be sure to check out the user comment headed "The McCarthyism Myth just won't die.")

1. Sounds really good
though I hope this gets a region 2/0 release else I'll never get to see it.

What with this & George Clooney's new movie the right are going to have to relieve some of the nastier aspects of their past. (Although didn't Ann Coulter claim in her last book that McCarthy was 100% correct with all the people he accused!)
