旁白¹：杜卡基斯（Michael Dukakis，1933- ）打算赢得党内提名，他有一张对手名单。

杜卡基斯：一共七个人，有些媒体丑化我们为“七个小矮人”。

[欢呼声]

旁白：七人当中，来自特拉华州的年轻参议员拜登（Joe Biden，1942- ）是领先者之一。

拜登：我宣布竞选美利坚合众国总统。

杜卡基斯：一个优秀、坚定、进步的民主党人，一个全方位的好人。是个，嗯，一个优秀的美国参议员。

拜登：我今天就告诉你们，美国正处在危险当中。

苏珊·埃斯特里奇（Susan Estrich，1952- ），杜卡基斯竞选经理：于是拜登来到华盛顿。身为最具同情心的年轻参议员，大家普遍认为他是个非常正派的人。

[军乐队演奏]

旁白：一个非常正派的人，现在对杜卡基斯的总统野心构成了威胁。当候选人准备爱荷华州党团会议这第一场战役时，拜登发现自己像一只被盯在显微镜下的虫子。

戴维·耶普森（David Yepsen），记者：我是首席时政作家，供职于《得梅因纪事报》（The Des Moines Register）——爱荷华州最大的报纸。一位备受尊敬的民主党人打电话来说，有件东西想让我看看，我说好啊。我去到停车场，他从车尾箱取出一盒录像带，他说你看看这个。好吧，我就，呃，回到我的办公室，打开录像机。

拜登：为什么乔·拜登是第一个……

戴维：噢，哇……

戴维：这简直令人窒息。

旁白：爱荷华州主要报纸的首席时政记者，收到了一盘拜登演主角的录像带，不是性爱丑闻，但却更加糟糕。

戴维：原来是拜登的演讲。

拜登：为什么是拜登，成为这家族中的第一个读上大学的人？

戴维：几乎是逐字逐句，去翻版英国工党领袖金诺克（Neil Kinnock，1942- ）。

金诺克：为什么是我，成为这家族一千代以来第一个读上大学的人？

戴维：这边是金诺克，那边是拜登，话是一样的。

金诺克：是因为他们不中用吗？他们在地底下苦干了 8 小时，难道上来还踢一场球？ 拜登：我祖祖辈辈都是宾州东北的煤矿工，他们苦干 12 小时后，难道上来还踢半天球？

戴维：拜登偷金诺克的演讲而不作解释。我写了这个故事，而且，呃，越来越多的剽窃事件被挖出，记者翻了他的老底。

[一群狗崽队追着] 拜登：无可奉告。

戴维：这简直是一刀致命。

拜登：我已经做出决定，退出总统竞选。

旁白：谁是泄露视频的幕后黑手？

电视新闻：杜卡基斯正在评估事件对竞选的负面影响。此前他的两名高级助手，被爆在拜登的竞选活动中做了手脚。

旁白：此人正是杜卡基斯的竞选经理，所谓清白的约翰·萨索（John Sasso）。

苏珊：我去了约翰的办公室，听说杜卡基斯今天或明天就炒他鱿鱼。我说，“什么？”我敲开州长的门，说：“你疯了吧。”他们根本没做错，你将会失去竞选的主心骨。他说听过了所有的争论。这下完了。

杜卡基斯：几分钟前，我和拜登通了电话，我想向他公开道歉，并请他支持我去竞选。

杜卡基斯：我相信要赢得党内提名这非常重要，这样做会让民主党人对我参选有好感，对我的提名有帮助。²

Narrator¹:Dukakis sets out to winhis party's nomination.There is literallya shortlist of opponents.

Michael Dukakis:There were seven of us.Some of the press, rather uncharitably,referred to us as the seven dwarves.

[cheering]

Narrator:Of the seven, Joe Biden,a young senator from Delaware,is one of the frontrunners.

Biden:I announce my candidacy for Presidentof the United States of America.

Michael Dukakis:Good, solid, progressive Democratand just an all around good guy,um, and a fine United States senator.

Biden:I tell you todaythat America is a nation at risk.

Susan Estrich: So Biden came to Washingtonas one of the most sympatheticyoung senators.And was widely viewedas a very decent man.

[marching band plays]

Narrator:A very decent man who now poses a threatto Dukakis' presidential ambition.As the candidates prepare for their firstcampaign battle, the Iowa caucus,Biden finds himself under the microscopelike a pinned bug.

David Yepsen, Des Moines Register:I was the chief political writerfor "The Des Moines Register",which is the largest newspaper in Iowa.A very respected Democraticpolitical operativehad called and he said, "I got somethingI want to show you off the record."I said, "Okay."And so we went out to his car,he got in the trunkand he handed me a copy of this videotape.He said, "Just take a look at that."Well, I, uh, went back to my office,popped it in the cart.

Man on TV:Why is it that Joe Biden is the first...

David Yepsen:Oh, wow.It was the kind of story that sucksall the oxygen out of the room.

Narrator:The chief political reporterof Iowa's leading newspaperhas been given a videotapefeaturing Joe Biden.It's not a sex tape. It's worse than that.

David Yepsen:You know,here is Joe Biden giving a speech.

Bidenon Tape:Why is it that Joe Biden,is the first in his familyever to go to a university?

David Yepsen:It's almost word for word,what British Labor Party leaderNeil Kinnock had said.

Kinnockon Tape:Why am I the first Kinnockin a thousand generationsto be able to get to university?

David Yepsen:Here's a clip of Kinnock and here's a clipof Biden saying the same thing.

Kinnockon Tape:Was it because they were weak?Those people who could workeight hours underground,and then come up and play football? Bidenon Tape:My ancestors who worked in the coal minesof Northeast Pennsylvaniaand they would come up after 12 hoursand play football for four hours.

David Yepsen:Biden stealing Neil Kinnock's wordswithout attributing it.I wrote my story,and, uh, there were more and moreexamples of, uh, plagiarism.Reporters were digging into his past.

Biden:No comment.

David Yepsen:It was a sign of deathby a thousand cuts.

Biden:I've concluded thatI will stop being a candidatefor President of the United States.

Narrator:But who was behind the leaked tape?

Manon TV:Michael Dukakis is assessingthe damage to his campaignfollowing the disclosurethat two of his top aidessabotaged the campaignof rival Joseph Biden.

Narrator:None other than Dukakis's supposedlysqueaky-clean campaign manager,John Sasso.

Susan Estrich:I went to John's officeand he was saying that Dukakiswas gonna fire him today or tomorrow.I was like, "What?"I knocked on the governor's doorand I said, "This is crazy".What they did wasn't so wrong.You're losing the heart and soulof your campaign.He said, "I've heard all the arguments."Nope.

Dukakis:I spoke to Joe Bidena few minutes ago on the telephone,and I want to publicly apologize to himfor the involvement of my campaign.

Michael Dukakis:I just thought it was very importantthat if I was gonna win that nomination,I do so in a waythat had Democrats feeling goodabout my candidacyand good about my nomination.²
