Casting Call for "Pitbull with Lipstick: The Sarah Palin Story."

[ROh70]

The rise and fall of Sarah Palin needs to be turned into a movie. Who should be cast to play the key actors? Let's rule out Tina Fey for Palin, especially since we'll want a serious actor to portray Palin's "diva-mommy dearest" behind the scene moments.

My choice for Sarah Palin - Sandra Bullock. A dead ringer for Palin, and has acting chops to be frivolous and serious.

Others:

Todd Palin - Colin Farrell
John McCain - Richard Dreyfuss
Cindy McCain - Goldie Hawn
Bristol Palin - Miley Cyrus
Nicole Wallace - Laura Linney
Randy Schneummann - Randy Quaid
Steve Schmidt - Bruce Willis
Rick Davis - Gary Sinise

1. Great casting! nt

[Armstead]

2. Wallace Shawn as Steve Schmidt

I can't see Bruce Willis there

[ROh70]

4. Never heard of Wallace Shawn. Bruce Willis has the bald head thing down.

6. It's INCONCEIVABLE that you've never heard of Wallace Shawn

8. Oh, the inconceivable guy! Why didn't you just say that?

He's too old for Schmidt. On the other hand, he'd be a decent John McCain.

3. Love your title!!!!

[ROh70]

5. Thanks! It was that or "Palin! The Saks Fifth Avenue Hockey Mom Vice President"

[marylanddem]

11. Well, you picked the right one. It has that Betty Broderick unleashed kind of

zap.

7. Nice casting! Who else might be good in the role of Sarah?

I would suggest Meryl Streep. Bullock would always appear to be acting.

10. I don't like most of those picks in the telegraph article.

Meryl Streep is an interesting pick.

another possibility - Kate Winslet. She's a bit younger than Palin, but she could pull it off. I wonder, though, if she could do stupid and frivolous really well.

9. Kevin Handler of Sex and the City Fame should be Schmidt

13. more like . . .

More like ¨The Devil wears Wal Mart.¨

14. Poor Richard Dreyfuss!

He's such a good liberal, and he always gets stuck playing the evil conservative:

* Dick Cheney in W
* Al Haig in The Day Reagan Was Shot
* Bob Rumson in The American President
* William Tecumseh Sherman in Lincoln (okay, just kidding about that one!)

15. I prefer Gina Gershon as Palin and Sharon Stone as Cindy McCain. nt

[ROh70]

16. Sharon Stone - good call.

Gina Gershon - can't see her playing silly and vapid so well.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

19. She did a pretty good Palin impression here:

[flvegan]

17. I'd like Gary Busey as McCain.

Nobody does crazy ass nutjob like Busey.

[ROh70]

18. Brilliant choice! I like it. I also think Hammonds could do McCain, since Mac is one big joke

anyway.

[No Elephants]

20. I bet Tina Fey could do fine at serious acting. Most comics can.
