Don't expect fair Palin portrayal in HBO movie

There's plenty of buzz in the entertainment world over which actress should play the part of Gov. Sarah Palin in the forthcoming movie about the 2008 presidential campaign being made by HBO. The simple answer is that it doesn't matter. Why not?

"The movie is based on a book about the campaign -- a book written by political writers Mark Halperin and John Heilemann..."

That would be the same Mark Halperin who, as ABC News' political director, was responsible for the infamous Halperin Memo. Lowell Ponte, on FrontPageMagazine.com in 2004, showed that Mark Halperin's leftist leanings should be no surprise, considering where he came from.
