'Epic' Palin Movie Likely to Launch White House Run

(Newser) – Sarah Palin is planning to blast her way back onto the national stage next month with a two-hour movie touting her strengths. The Undefeated documents Palin's years as governor and her rise to nationwide attention, portraying her as a maverick figure persecuted by enemies in the media and in both political parties, RealClearPolitics reports. In what is widely expected to be a prelude to a presidential announcement, the movie will premiere in Iowa.

Conservative filmmaker Stephen Bannon came up with the idea for the movie after the Palin team asked him to make a series of videos extolling Palin's time as governor and laying to rest questions about her resignation. "This film is a call to action for a campaign like 1976: Reagan vs. the establishment," says Bannon, who financed the $1 million production. "Let's have a good old-fashioned brouhaha."

The Undefeated features footage from Palin rallies and opens with a sequence showing clips of celebrities using vicious language to criticize her.

It should have been titled "The Pig In Lipstick!"

The Palin Propoganda Machine is coming to a theater near you!  This makes me wish the rapture had of occurred over the weekend.  As reckless as Palin is with her mouth, I don’t want to see what she does with a full length film.  Sex sells so cross your fingers for a nude shower scene!  Mamma Grizzly’s rhetoric is predominately negative and continues to lower the world’s expectations of our government and society.  I was compelled to create a visual commentary about her on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2011/01/sarah-palin-made-me-do-it.html

If I were a journalist I'd be thrilled. So far the GOP lineup is a snoozefest.  "Trump and Palin 2012"
