 In the heat of the 1996 Presidential Campaign, film maker Joshua Seftel and author Michael Lewis (Liar s Poker and The New New Thing) were commissioned by CBS News to fashion a report on Bob Dole. Together, the two traveled to Dole s hometown of Russell, Kansas and explored the underside of the small town, sneaking into Bob Dole s garage, eating in downtown Russell s only restaurant ("Home of the Dole Burger"), surveying the future site of the Bob Dole Presidential Library, and being evicted from their strip motel by newswoman Barbara Walter s entourage. The result of Seftel and Lewis  week-long stay in Russell is a dark mini-documentary that gives insight into presidential politics, small town America, television news, and Bob Dole.
