Palin’s version: Undercuts HBO’s ‘Game Change’ with happy pix dump
The New York Post ^ | February 20, 2012 | Michael Shain

Sarah Palin is moving fast to discredit an unflattering HBO movie.

Palin is releasing dozens of “behind-the-scenes” photos from the 2008 presidential campaign that show her smiling and laughing with the real-life characters — including John McCain and his hard-charging campaign manager, Steven Schmidt — portrayed in the upcoming movie “Game Change.”

A link to the photo gallery — 67 in all, under the headline “Game Change We Can Believe In” — appeared over the weekend on the home page of SarahPAC.com, Palin’s political fundraising arm.

The movie, set to air next month. stars Ed Harris as McCain, Julianne Moore as Palin and Woody Harrelson as Schmidt.

Last week on Fox News, Palin dismissed the movie as a “waste of time.”

But now it appears she is stepping up her campaign to paint as “fiction” the movie that portrays her as an unprepared diva.

The movie paints her as angry and embarrassed by Tina Fey’s famous send-up of her. But the photos show her laughing and enjoying herself backstage at “SNL.” as she rehearsed for her October 2008 appearance on the comedy show.

In the movie, Harrelson’s character is shown as Palin’s biggest detractor. But in a photo captioned “All Smiles,” Palin and Schmidt are seen beaming after the debate with Joe Biden....

So she sort of "Buckheaded" them? Why would Hollywood spend hundreds of millions of dollars to destroy someone who's "15 minutes are up," is "yesterday's newspaper" and no longer has any influence? Ask yourself that.

Those pictures are great. She sure pumped some life into that old coot’s campaign. I believe they could have had it, but McCain screwed it up.

There was only one reason for this piece of caca to be made, to head off what the libertards thought was a surefire Palin presidential run. They even brought out their mental heavyweight

Look at those photos, that family. No wonder they (Democrats and GOP-E) felt they had to proactively destroy her before this year!

I forget her name (I think she just won a bunch of grammys), but some singer created Palin with her huge success. (She was on SNL the same night!). It was on a FR thread.

Liberals and RINOS cant stand the fact that Sarah is HAPPY..they made this film preparing for a Palin presidential run so that they could screw her over, that did not happen. The McCain campaign was an epic fail because McCain was a HUGE bore who went around saying how “We have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency” that is when I knew Obama had won..McCain NEVER fought, not once, Sarah did all the fighting for him, and what did she get for her efforts, backstabbing from McCain’s RINO buddies who were pissed that he did not pick Romney to be his VP..I guess in their warped minds, if Romney wasn’t going to be the VP, no one would, I bet they all voted for Obama, I wouldn’t put it past them

If you heard Palin’s CPAC speech, then you know that she is far ahead of the Demonrats, the RINOS, the GOP, and most columnists, talking heads.

I wouldn’t want to play poker with her. Behind her beautiful smile is a huntress, be it moose, Democrats, or RINOS.

She’ll take them down, gut them, fillet them, cook them, and hang their hides on the wall, all before they know what hit them.

She is like the barracuda - it strikes from out of nowhere and you are “lunch”.

Bon appetit!

That would be Adele, she was on SNL the night that Palin was on it, she has said in many interviews that she credits Palin for her success since so many people watched that episode and got to hear her voice

Thanks - I just listened to a couple of her songs. Not my style, but she has a powerful voice and catchy rhythms. And I listened all the way through without turning them off like I usually do with so much of the new music!

Julianne Moore as Palin? Jeez, Moore’s not even close to being as hot as Palin. HBO FAIL!

Hollywood never puts out any political movie except for revisionist reasons.

Why anyone would believe the enemies of Palin (Harrelson) would want to participate in an honest portrayal defies logic.

More interesting is the question why Hollywood worried about, planned on injuring Palin at this moment in an election campaign. Is it because they thought she would be a candidate, so they wanted to be prepared, but also had money invested so couldn’t back off when they discoverd they were wrong?

Do they want to discredit her influence on this primary season?

Are they worried about some impact she might have on the general election?

Never heard of Adele until the Grammy’s (but didn’t watch).
I’m not sheltered, but can’t figure how I never heard of her!
And still haven’t heard her sing - unless I didn’t know - - -
Feel so out of it!

Yep, if you recall, McGinniss's book was timed to coincide with what they predicted would be her declaration as a candidate, and this movie was also clearly timed to coincide with the 2012 campaign.

Yeah right, no coordination or agenda there...
