You know the book they made into a movie....

http://www.amazon.com/Game-Change-Clintons-McCain-Lifetime/dp/0061733644/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331448625&sr=8-1

Game Change was co-written by a Republican-leaning journalist named Mark Halpernin, who did countless interviews in the Obama and MacCain campaigns. No less an authority than McCain's chief strategist, Steve Schmidt also attests. There were many elements tot he book, so the producers focused on the Palin selection.

But the right wingers want us to believe he just looooves Obama. They're so cute when they're mad.

weren't screaming about socialism, sluts, birth control, unions or somethin'.

I ever saw one. That creepy side of the mouth grin gives him away...

Glad you shared your need to give us all a good talking-to

I know that Breitbart's minions have been told to go to web sites and blogs to attack this movie but I can't for the life of me see why a progressive would be against it. Hmmm...it's a conundrum.

Yeah I kind of figured it was for profit when they send me a bill every month.

HBO has some of the best programming on TV. It has nothing to do with "stereotypes". And what "obsession"? The movie just aired, it brought back lots of bad feelings, of course people are going to talk about it. As far as "facts" are concerned most of what was in the movie was already public knowledge.

That should be fun.

sorry, you're of course entitled to your opinions

I just don't have to agree

sometimes the fantastical is reality

If you can cite any particular problems with the script, you should do so.

the historical accuracy of the movie because that might reinforce the idea that Hollywood is full of liberals.

Like we're really going to be worried about that . . . .

You betcha'!

on Paul Revere's horse.

And right after that, there were WOMEN HAVING SEX! To my horror, I couldn't find that damn remote to turn the channel...

Don't you hate when that happens? Losing the remote, I mean.

...what I call a "game change"!

I'm glad someone else is up at this ungodly hour, and making me laugh since I'm miserable from insomnia. Thanks!

We did lose an hour. To be fair, the documentary covered lesbian scenesmeant for men, male gay movies and movies actually marketed to lesbians. It was interesting. Oh, "Game Change" was pretty good too!

DUers DO get their facts outside of HBO .... Why would you presume that we are all so one dimensional and narrow minded as to only get facts from one single television channel ? ...

Hey ... Here is a concept - Get historical facts from many sources, INCLUDING HBO ....

The silly in DU is quite plentiful tonight ...

trying to get liberals upset over 'profits'?

Sounds like this guy

it may not be completely accurate.

I think in spirit it has everything pretty well covered. I wish there was more of the women's Jekyll-and-Hyde movement (Sufragettes and Abolitionists).

But I'm really going to miss Jimmy. I love Michael Pitt.

a documentary.

How many times have you copied and pasted this comment today?

the grand apologetic for the banksters coup d'etat of 2008. Pretty damn gross.

This Palin thing I have yet to see, but I don't see how it can make any difference, good or bad. She's as exposed a character as any has ever been. Everyone already knows what they think.

watch Fox News.

That said, one of the authors of the book, Mark Halperin, has always tilted toward the GOP. Nicole Wallace, a long-time Republican operative and primary Palin handler, said the portrayal was so close to the truth it made her squirm.
Since so may of the sources of the book/movie were dedicated Republicans, I think this effort is probably pretty reliable.

HBO's "Recount" was treated like a documentary by many DUers.

which premiered on HBO on March 21, four days short of the 100th anniversary, in any way
reinforced the "hollywood is full of liberals" meme?

or, for that matter, any number of excellent documentaries I have seen on hbo?

by the way, as difficult as this may be to believe, many of us know the difference between documentaries, docu-dramas, and entertainment. but thanks for your concern.
