Game Change tweets.

"No the movie is lies I tell you, all lies!"

I am just now becoming fully awake, after emerging from my slumber with what apparently is a Game Change hangover, which includes a rather significant headache and eyes that won't focus properly. (At least I don't have a Mike Tyson tattoo on my face or a tiger in my bathroom,)

So I am still gathering my thoughts and hopefully a little input from others before I write my review.

However the long and short of it was that I found it amazing. It inspired within me a very visceral and emotional response that I actually found somewhat fatiguing.

In my humble opinion Palin is finished, and there is NO credible news organization, or political organization,  that will EVER take her seriously again. And yes it was very accurate. VERY accurate.

Anyhow here are my tweets from last night, which of course were my impressions in real time to the movie as it unfolded.

Finally Alaska gets to see Game Change! 

Don't do it McCain! Ya dumb shit! (This in response to McCain first being presented with Palin as a potential running mate.)

How did Schmidt NOT see that she was a psycho? (Julianne Moore captured Palin's somewhat psychotic look early in the film, which I thought should have chilled Schmidt to his very core.)

"It's God's plan" says Palin in response to Schmidt's observation that she is unfazed by her pick as VP candidate. Scary stuff! 

Uh oh! There goes the other shoe! #GameChange (This is when the campaign starts to learn that Palin's assurances that there was nothing troubling in her background is demonstrated to be complete mooseshit.)

"I have been asked when her amniotic fluid started leaking." Response, "When did it start leaking?" #gamechange (I LOVE that it was the two authors of Game Change, Mark Halperin and John Heileman, who were shown posing THAT particular question.)

Cold as ice to Levi. Well THAT part is certainly accurate #gamechange (The look that Moore's Sarah Palin gave Levi when he was trotted out to make Bristol look like less of a tramp, should have rendered him impotent for the rest of his life. Icy cold exchange in the film.)

A Fraud is Born! #gamechange (This as Palin takes the stage at the convention.)

I think Nicole Wallace is starting to smell brimstone. #gamechange  (In the film it seems to be Wallace that first notices that Palin might not simply be unprepared, but in fact a lunatic.)

I think it is great that Palin wanted to maintain a close relationship with the head of the British government, the Queen. #gamechange 

$60,000 to hold a poll to see if Palin's reputations was slipping in Alaska. It was. #gamechange (Palin INSISTING that the McCain campaign check her popularity back in Alaska to see if it was slipping. She was clearly upset that without her back in Alaska to urge her people to hack the polls, that the truth about our feelings toward her might be revealed.)

Palin ignores Wallace to focus on her Blackberry. Followed by incredible paranoia. Perfect representation! #gamechange (Palin is nothing if not perceptive to how others are responding to her, and she was clearly picking up on the fact that Wallace was having doubts about her abilities, if not her sanity.)

Makeup room freak out, right before Couric interview! Yikes! #gamechange (Wiping makeup off and claiming that she looked fat. Now THAT'S the Sarah Palin we know.)

Couric interview! Oh yeah, that's the stuff! #gamechange (Clearly I loved this part!)

"Has it occurred to you guys that she might be mentally unstable?" From this Alaskan, "You betcha!" #gamechange (This is Jamey Sheridan, as Mark Salter, stating what should have been obvious to all.)

Wow, that debate between Palin and "O'Biden" just took on a whole new significance for me. #gamechange (Realizing that the campaign essentially scripted all of her responses ahead of time, explains a lot for me.)

"I so don't want to go back to Alaska" The feeling was mutual. #gamechange 

The debate provided the electrical charge that powered up the Frankenstein monster. #gamechange 

And the war hero John McCain learns to fear the creature that he helped to create.#gamechange (McCain expresses concern that she might turn on HIM. Even more frightening than spending five and a half years in a POW camp in Hanoi, is the idea of Sarah Palin putting him in her crosshairs.)

In the end Nicole Wallace could not bring herself to vote in the 2008 election. Palin made her fear a McCain presidency. #gamechange (One of the most powerful scenes in the movie.)

Schmidt "Tell her she's not fucking speaking!" #gamechange (In response to Palin's REPEATED attempts to get on stage and give her very own concession speech.
She simply refused to take no for an answer.)
I was simply blown away by the movie.
And as for its authenticity, well here is what Nicole Wallace had to say about that.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, the Palin campaign didn't like it. How true to life? 

WALLACE: Well, true enough to make me squirm.

As I can well imagine. Out of all of the major players in this movie Nicole's character seems to have the most difficult time rationalizing her support of Palin, and then McCain. In the end becoming so disillusioned that she cannot even cast her vote for the ticket that she had worked so hard to support.

Of course the Palin-bots are arguing against the facts like always.

Personally I think it is too late.  The cat is out of the bag, it ran into the road, and is now splattered against the grill of the Palin family Escalade, to eventually be scraped off and plopped onto Sarah's head for some future Fox News interview.

In other words the damage had been done and, despite the spin, it was done, as always, by Palin herself.
