"John Rash"
"Describe what you get when you use a public toilet"

Like most documentaries, the new film about Sarah Palin that premiered in June in Minneapolis is ostensibly about the past. Mostly focusing on Palin's political career in Alaska, "The Undefeated" portrays a crusader clashing with the governing GOP establishment and big-oil interests -- fights that earned her the highest approval rating of any governor in the country at the time.
Of course we all know "The Undefeated" is really about the future. Of Palin's political prospects in 2012, sure. But more important, said the documentary's director, Steven Bannon, the film allows Palin to redefine herself. "The meme was so set that this woman was an airhead, a bimbo, 'Caribou Barbie,' a Christianist ideologue -- when the evidence was there that she was actually an engaged executive."
To Bannon and others in the film who ideologically identify with him, the thieves in this political whodunit have as many right-handed fingerprints as left-handed.
"The thing that should be shocking here is not that the left went after her, but where was the air cover?" Bannon asked. "No one in the Republican establishment came to her defense." Accordingly, he said, "This film is as controversial on the right as it is on the left."
Not that Bannon spares the left. Barely before viewers can get their first handful of popcorn, pop culture artists paint a picture of the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate that startles in its intensity. A quick-cut collection of cut-downs from movie and music stars, comedians and others attacking Palin politically and personally are remarkable, even in the context of today's coarse culture.....

Yes!
If Palin doesn’t back the movie up with action, I don’t see how this will help her. If she is going to run. Now is the time. Make people have a reason to head out to see the movie and get the message.
The Alaska two year deadline on filing ethics complaints againt her expires in a few days and she’s on jury duty until the end of the month.
Yes, you can say now is the time.
Unless of course, the time is yet to come.
Saw the film tonight in Milwaukee, WI, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Take the time to see it. You won’t be sorry.
By itself, no. But it certainly will help!
Nope. She already is a winner! Looking forward to seeing the documentary.

>> “No one in the Republican establishment came to her defense.”
Not one damn bastard, especially during the Tuscon defamation.
Tucson
It’s comin’. You betcha!
read some internet rumors that said she’d announce candidacy w/ her movie’s debut, s’pose now some of the same people are expecting her to announce it ‘round Labor Day...
When she can take the pebble from your hand, it will be time
I know Rick is dead man walking in this contest, but he is my type of Conservative who announced. What are you going to do.
Oh, you will know when she runs...
Of course we will. I do believe it will be a Media event.
He and I used to take the same flight to DC early Monday morning and {he sat in coach} we would talk politics.
I loved the guy, but when he and Bush campaigned for snarlen arlen instead of Pat Toomey he lost many real conservatives and that was part of the reason he got his ass handed to him by nothing but a name, casey.
With the changing political climate back in '06, maybe he would have lost even with conservative support, but he was waxed by 18%, and 15 points were his own fault.
Although he is still a conservative, I'll not vote for him in a primary, but would in a general election.
Troll.
