Last year's Mo' Better Blues, a dyspeptic study of a musician who cares only for his trumpet and his ego, took heat for its sardonic depiction of two Jewish businessmen. Lee had an answer for that charge too. He wanted to open Jungle Fever with advice to those who accused him of anti-Semitism: "They can kiss my black ass."

From May Day to Election Day, he made more than 100 stops for 63 candidates and helped raise about $80 million in campaign funds...
