Over the weekend, HBO premiered Game Change, a movie based on the book of the same name by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, which begins in 2008 at the decision to have Sarah Palin as John McCain’s running-mate, and ends on election day. Did you watch it? What did you think? I’ll tell you what I thought, and then you tell me what you thought. I thought it was mostly sad and unnecessary. The story of choosing a woman who didn’t know anything about anything to be second in line for President of America, and the outcome and fallout of that decision, is absolutely an interesting narrative. No doubt. I loved that story when it happened three years ago. But the problem with Game Change, and Julianne Moore doing her best Sarah Palin impression, is that the back-story served to humanize Sarah Palin so much that, as a viewer, I thought, “Why are you still picking on this poor, dumb mother of five whose life got destroyed?”
