Did GAME CHANGE make Palin look stupid?

It's obvious HBO's "Game Change," a dramatization of the 2008 presidential race, will be polarizing. But now that its airdate has come, we want to know: What did you think?

Did Sarah Palin look stupid? Or do you think it was a fair portrayal of the former Alaska governor-turned-vice presidential candidate?

In the above mentioned drama, Sarah is played by Julianne Moore and Ed Harris plays McCain.  I have yet to watch it and it is not yet up 'on demand.' But, Palin looking stupid is a moot question along the lines of the Pope's religion or what date the Fourth of July falls on. Conniving intelligence is not the same as smart because it can only get you to the point where people realize that is what you are and the rest is just "lipstick on a pitbull."

Apparently Palin didn't watch it but seems to know a lot about it. Deadline TV reports that she told ABC:

...I’m not going to go see the movie, neither is the good Sen. John McCain. We’ve discussed this and realized that Hollywood lies are Hollywood lies. They’re going to do what they can to drum up their money and their machine, and their machine happens to be a very pro-leftist, pro-Barack Obama machine there at HBO that created this movie...

It's no secret that I dislike Palin and think she isn't the brightest bulb in the box. I was shocked when McCain picked her as is running mate. As much as I believe having a woman as president would promote equality I would never be willing to sacrifice the office to make it happen. And, when you have anyone as advanced in years as McCain running you have to accept it as a very real possibility that could be the case. Even were McCain younger we've seen presidents leave office for other reasons.  Whoever acts as the President of the Senate is but one heartbeat away from the oval office and not just window dressing.

The Caucuses

I am going to go to the Democratic caucus today here in our town.  I know there's no "race" to speak of but according to the leadership of the Dems here, it's important to show support.  I feel that the scariness factor of the other ticket is way too high not to say right out loud OBAMA/BIDEN.

In the end, I did not get to the caucus.  My husband hit our back garage door with my  car mirror and had to put it back together.  Then I did some trim painting and we realized afterward that he had given me the wrong color paint.
