There is a lot about this conversation on Morning Joe that absolutely irritates the crap out of me because it is so obvious that he, and many other "so-called journalists" are STILL swallowing the Palin mythology whole without recognizing the bullshit aftertaste.

Such as when both Scarborough AND Moore seem almost inspired by her ability to deal with the kinds of things that "she had on her plate," like a newborn baby, a pregnant teenager, and a son who was "getting shot at in Iraq."

As all of US know, almost none of this is factual.

The baby was not hers.

Bristol's pregnancy, in the words of Tank Jones, "was not as it appeared."

And Track was NEVER shot at awhile deployed as you can see for yourself by looking at his discharge papers which were obtained with a simple FOIA.

As you can see Track received NO Combat Infantry Badge which apparently ALL infantrymen receive if they see combat in Iraq.

Now let me just say that I am NOT attempting to denigrate Track's service, and I am very impressed that he has attempted to keep his mother from using him as much as she does the other kids, but still this is something which is factually incorrect and should not be allowed to be broadcast by HBO as the truth.

And of course I feel the same way about Trig's birth as well.

Another point is that I feel requires clarification is that when Palin was in that catatonic state, and keeps repeating that she wants to see "my baby," I absolutely DON'T believe she is talking about Trig there. I have always believed she was talking about her constant sidekick Piper instead.

I just don't believe she ever really bonded with Trig, but her relationship with Piper borders on the obsessive. Piper has become her security blanket, her enabler, and her constant companion, essentially since Bristol purposefully got herself knocked up to prove her independence to her mother. (Not that it worked out that way for her.)

Toward the end director Jay Roach makes the extraordinary claim that there "are really no heroes or villains in this story."

I beg to differ. There are PLENTY of villains in this story, from the secret cabal of conservative puppet masters who foisted Palin onto the McCain ticket, to Steve Schmidt who should have known better, right down to John McCain who let his desire to win at all cost cloud his judgement as to what was best for the country, this movie is quite literally BULGING with villains.

And that is not even including Palin herself, who lied, cheated, and used her own children as shields against criticism, in order to achieve her dream of getting into the White House. Even taking into account her obvious mental instability, she is still the BIGGEST villain of them all.

By the way, before you start to believe that this movie will be a little too sympathetic toward Palin, perhaps you should read this review to put your mind at ease:

In the movie, Palin’s few successes (her convention speech and the vice presidential debate with Joe Biden, which are kindly portrayed from a Republican's perspective) are tempered by her emotionality, her catatonic states and fits of temper, her lack of discipline, her irrationality and general unpredictability. 

The final message of the film is the ominous feeling the viewer gets that McCain campaign manager Steve Schmidt regrets loosing this untamable force of nature upon the Republican party and the world. The film also goes lengths to portray former McCain campaign advisers Schmidt and Nicole Wallace, author of a novel based on her experience with the campaign in 2008 about a mentally-ill vice presidential candidate based on Palin, as victims who are subject to her whims as she rapidly hijacked the McCain campaign. Wallace’s character even goes so far as to accuse Palin of mental imbalance and instability. 

Again, I do not dispute the facts of Game Change – book or film – but to say this is a flattering portrayal of Palin is deranged. While it may be accurate, Palin’s portrayal is anything but complimentary.

There, feel better?
