The Distinguished Gentlemen In the movie The Distinguished Gentlemen, Eddie Murphy satirized many aspects of our Congress. There were many jokes that poked fun at the integrity of Congress and its members. This movie focused on the House of Representatives. <Tab/> The movie starts out with Murphy and his friends, con-artists, blackmailing a chairman of a committee for calling a sex hotline. The sleaziness of Congressmen is showed when Congressman Jeff …showed first 75 words of 709 total…

Dick Dodge was later revealed as a corrupt Congressman who cared about nothing and no body but himself and his own wealth and advantages. There were many parts of this movie that poked fun at the lives of Congressmen and most of them pointed in the direction as them being careless, sleazy, corrupt men that just want to "save their own asses."
