lol. The N.Y. Post pans the Palin Bio-Pic:
This would-be “Fairbanks 9/11” certainly blazes with passion — hosannas of awe for Palin, brimstone of scorn for her detractors (especially Matt Damon, standup comics and anonymous commenters who say mean things on blogs).

But its tone is an excruciating combination of bombast and whining, it’s so outlandishly partisan that it makes Richard Nixon look like Abraham Lincoln and its febrile rush of images — not excluding earthquakes, car wrecks, volcanic eruption and attacking Rottweilers — reminded me of the brainwash movie Alex is forced to sit through in “A Clockwork Orange.” Except no one came along to refresh my pupils with eyedrops.

I’d sooner have watched a Michael Moore movie.

Any Michael Moore movie.

Even “Canadian Bacon.”

If you’re hopeful (or worried) that this movie is the secret trigger for a Palin relaunch, don’t be. Even if you fixed the blaring soundtrack and took out all the symbols of the cataclysmic evil opposing Palin (barking dogs, disaster footage, a closeup of Rosie O’Donnell), you’d still be left with a hopeless sputtering jumble.

1. "...a hopeless sputtering jumble..." Palin (R). Precisely.

Sarah Pale Horse (R) is akin to a female incarnation of Sen. David Vitter (R)

2. What's Murdoch up to?
I know he doesn't personally vet everything that goes into his papers, but he only hires editors who can be relied upon to dance to his tune. This wouldn't have been published in the Post if he hadn't soured on Palin. But isn't she still employed by Fox Noise? What's going on?
