Really enlightening. Much better than I thought it was going to be, but wonder how much of it was truth.
By the time she realized how overwhelmed she was I was actually feeling bad for her. My wife on the other hand had a different opinion "What do you mean you feel bad for her? She's a woman who went to six schools in five years, embraces her ignorance, gets her knowledge from Fox news and now gets paid a fortune for speaking engagements and being a RWN commentator. She won the idiot lottery."
I had a realization in the middle of it. In promoting their agenda, Fox is cutting its own throat. When asked "Why did we invade Iraq" Palin responded "Because Sadaam Hussain attacked us on 9/11."
Um, no.
And where do you think she got that information?
Fox news viewers are regularly polled as the least informed viewers in the nation, and when one of these idiots actually has to debate they're going to get slammed on their "facts."
When they reenacted the Katie Couric interview and Palin couldn't name one paper or news magazine she read and Woody Harrelson screamed at the screen "Just name one modding paper!" I about busted a gut.
The other thing the movie illustrated was how John McCain was actually a respected politician until he had to suck the fat "mod" of the conservative base and is now regarded as a joke.
Perfect illustration of how anyone who wants to be elected by the nations RWN party of insanity is going to have to do the same thing. Santorum and Romney are perfect examples of this.
Romney is sane so he can't get elected.
Santorum is perfectly RWN insane so he can't get elected either.
Hilarious.

One thing the movie reminded me about, despite recent events, like McCain serving Obama up a great big civil liberties destroying shit sandwich also known as the NDAA, was that John actually discouraged some of the dark populism currently fomenting in the Republican party. He actually corrected a woman when she said Obama was a Muslim. Sweet little Sarah on the other hand, loved that shit. Loved when her audiences screamed, "KILL HIM!".

It's obviously a dramatization but iirc the campaign director for both Palin and McCain gave it their seal of approval for accuracy.

Wikipedia posted:
Palin said Game Change was based on a "false narrative" and that she did not intend to see it.[12] The film, and the book it is based upon, has been described by John and Cindy McCain as inaccurate.[13] Like Palin, McCain said he did not intend to see it.[11] The Hollywood Reporter noted that the film's top talent and executives donated US$200,000 to Democratic causes and none to Republicans.[14]
However, Steve Schmidt, the campaign's chief strategist, stated: "Ten weeks of the campaign are condensed into a two-hour movie. But it tells the truth of the campaign. That is the story of what happened."[15] He later said that watching the film was tantamount to "an out-of-body experience."[16]
Nicolle Wallace, a chief Palin 2008 aide, said she found Game Change highly credible, saying the film "captured the spirit and emotion of the campaign."[15] Wallace also told ABC News Chief Political Correspondent George Stephanopoulos that the film was "true enough to make me squirm."[17]
So Wikipedia agrees with you, Ash (not the campaign directors, but chief aides from both camps). Still, I wouldn't lend it too much credence.

Yeah my bad, the aides. I saw an interview with both of them around the time it came out and they vouched for the authenticity of it I think. I'll try to dig up video.

Weird how Palin and McCain and Mrs McCain can declare with absolute certainty that the movie is inaccurate and also say they haven't seen it and do not plan to.

It is a movie. I might watch it but I'll understand it is a movie. Only really stupid people get their world view from a movie. The facts are out there but it would require some real work, something your average person is unwilling to do. That is why it is harder to be a conservative. You have to study both sides and decide for yourself.
The last thing you want to do is base your political views on a movie. Such a shame that so many people do.

I haven't seen the film, but it was a topic on a political gabfest I listened to today. The general consensus was that the writers toed a fine line of telling enough of the truth to carry the flavor without humiliating Palin with too much truth, while keeping McCain and key staffers looking pretty clean.
I'm sure it will be entertaining enough to reshape actual events in the memory of viewers though.

I thought it humanized her, I can empathize with her situation and the viciousness of the media..
She's always come across as extremely naive and uneducated to me, her lack of knowledge was always the main reason why I detested her so much, a politician needs to know a little about everything.. A jack of all trades that can understand the fundamentals of most subjects and also understand the deeper meaning and connect dots when handed information to then take action and form a decision.
She did however dig her own grave by accepting this, a person with a bit more self distance and experience would not have accepted.. The vice-presidency of the most powerful nation in the world is not something you should take on lightly.

You mean like you? How you're always posting links from both sides? Some days you post an article from Fox news, other days from the Huffington post?
