MEGHAN MCCAIN: I Expect My Family And Sarah Palin To Be Nothing Short Of Crucified By HBO's 'GAME CHANGE'

HBO is adapting a miniseries based on Game Change, the book about the 2008 election.

But as Hollywood casts liberal actors to play all the parts, Meghan McCain doubts that it will be an accurate portrayal of what actually happened.

Game Change, the infamous bestseller written by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, has plagued anyone directly associated with the 2008 election cycle.

The first time I heard about the book was within weeks after Obama was elected—my former press person from the campaign told me Mark Halperin, a man I had only heard of in name and was not an embed on the campaign, wanted to conduct an interview about “what really happened.”

Reporters aren’t generally known for their sensitivity and tact, but I can remember thinking, nice timing sir. They also asked everyone from my mother and her chief of staff to Rick Davis and Steve Schmidt for an interview. The only person that confirmed actually giving such an interview was my father’s longtime speechwriter and “alter ego” Mark Salter. I still have no idea what he was thinking.

Read more! Very bad language.......LOL.

“Who will play Meghan?”

Unfortunately Chris Farley is not available for the part.

I think John Goodman in a blonde wig would work as well....but I think he’s lost a lot of weight recently, so that might not be such a great idea.

Snookie?

Sally may still be alive, even after eating all that food that was supposed to go to the little poor kids.

Might be a good fit for Meghan.

I posted an article. I do not *pimp* for her or anyone. Do not use that vile language with me, troll.

I’m still LOL.

It’s an avalanche of name dropping but for her poor “press person.”

[onyx]

LOL. Oh that’s right! I had forgotten about her commercials for the starving children!

[onyx]

I take it you read the entire article, too? I laughed and laughed.....LOL.

Well most of it. I admit that I scrolled down to read the snarky comments before I finished. :)

Meghan, you and your POS father were all that was needed to disgrace your family name. Leave Palin out of it.

[Tex-Con-Man]

Who will play Meghan?

Frank Oz.

It has to be a good actress to portray Meghan. They have to be able to convey the pure contempt and embarrassment Meghan felt for having to pretend she was being nice to those crumb crunchers of Daddy’s running mate.

Oh the horror of it all.

I am back to Cathy Bates. Perfect!

[Lee'sGhost]

I don’t know, but I hope she weighs at least 200 pounds.

[Night Hides Not]

Who will play Meghan?

My vote goes to Snookie from Jersey Shore. It will raise the IQ of both shows.

Meghan McCain doesn't give a rat's patoot about how Sarah Palin will be portrayed in an HBO miniseries about her father's failed presidential campaign but she is (rightly) worried that she'll be portrayed as the overfed, whining, malicious twerp she is. Pretending to be concerned that Sarah Palin will be 'crucified' is Meghan's way of getting attention for her whining. I'm sure Sarah Palin isn't too concerned about a TV series that will attempt, no doubt, to portray Palin as a dumb, vain, harridan. However, unlike Meghan McCain, Sarah Palin knows who she is and doesn't need 'validation' from the leftist show business industry.
