People should have taken the hint when the Alaska government said they could have the documents....but only in paper form, and you had to take possession at the state building in Juneau. You can imagine these 200-odd reporters flying all the way into Alaska...making their way to Juneau...staying at prime hotels....eating steak....and pumping up the Alaskan economy with at least a million extra bucks that they’d normally not have.
And the interesting thing? When they left via the airport....they likely paid at least $300 to tote the 275 pounds of extra documents (six boxes) with them....back to Boston, New York, Washington, and Miami.
If you ask me....the media got ripped off by some smart Alaska folks who knew how to drag them up there and make them rent SUVs, and spend money via the newspaper credit card.
There should be a movie about this ‘comedy’. Call it the “Palin Weekend”. Toss in George Clooney, Woody Harrelson, and Pauly Shore. Add a grizzly bear, two fake gold prospectors, a hooker from Lemon Creek, a bartender named Ed who was a Wall Street banker before the crash, and a Juneau Mayor trying to get interviewed by the big press....and you’ve got a Oscar-winning movie, if you ask me.
I thought they already made that movie: It’s a Mad. Mad, Mad, Mad World.

That’s pretty funny! I just watched “Canadian Bacon” with John Candy with my 16-year old son. I still thought it was funny, and my son was laughing his butt off. I almost turned it off as it was produced by Michael Moore!
Yeah...and I wanna see Hitler poring over the Palin e-mails on a u-tube video.... :-)
Very creative and very funny. You forgot the 4wd that dropped a universal and left them stranded, an encounter with a angry moose, and a wild flight in a SuperCub or ( insert aircraft type) on floats with a real character as a pilot with Ariel maneuvers that would rival Frank Tallman's antics in Mad Mad World ( he was he stunt pilot ). There are so many more to add. Yes it could be a very funny movie.
Hilarious! Great Idea!
In the meantime before "the movie" comes out, who do we know here on Free Republic that is capable of doing Youtube videos and/or graphics, making posters and cartoons, including T-shirts and the like depicting these ideas?
IMO, we need to get talented FReepers involved in this effort immediately!
Along the same lines as those of pepsionice's above, below are the great ideas my brother sent me in a series of emails over the weekend. I'm copying and pasting them just the way he sent them to me:
THIS PALIN DERANGEMENT SYNDROME BY THE LEFT HAS BECOME SO BIZARRE, I PREDICT IT WILL BACKFIRE ON THEM BIG TIME! IT IS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE!!
I THOUGHT OF A GREAT CARTOON TO DEPICT IT ALL:
SOMEONE SHOULD PRODUCE A CARTOON TITLED THE GREAT LAME STREAM MEDIA ALASKAN GOLD RUSH, WITH A PICTURE OF ALL THOSE MEDIA IDIOTS PANNING FOR GOLD IN AN ALASKAN STREAM AND COMING UP WITH NOTHING BUT FOOLS GOLD IN THEIR PANS. SOMEONE MORE CREATIVE THAN ME COULD REALLY DO A GREAT JOB WITH THIS IDEA, IMO!
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I ALSO HAD ANOTHER IDEA ABOUT IT:
DRAW A SMALL MAP THAT DEPICTS WHERE ALL THE FILED MINING CLAIMS ARE LOCATED ALONG THE STREAM WHERE THE MEDIA IS PANNING FOR GOLD, THEN SHOW THE MEDIA MINING FOR GOLD ON THE PALIN CLAIM, BUT HAVE AN ARROW POINTING TO WHERE REAL GOLD CAN BE FOUND. ( THE OBAMA CLAIM ) LOL!
OH YEAH, ANOTHER THING:
SHOW ALL THOSE LEFT WING NUTS IN THE PUBLIC THAT WERE ASKED BY THE MEDIA TO GO THROUGH PALIN'S EMAILS AS GOLD ASSAYERS RECEIVING NOTHING BUT FOOLS GOLD BEING SENT BY THE MEDIA UP THEIR ASSAY. LOL!....EXAMPLE: "NOPE, NOTHING BUT FOOLS GOLD HERE".
OK, SHOW A TANNING BED IN ONE OF THEIR PANS. LOL!
SHOW THE ONLY REAL GOLD NUGGET THEY FOUND UP THERE IN THE STREAM AS A VERY TINY NUGGET SITTING IN THE CENTER OF A HEAVILY GUARDED BRINKS TRUCK WITH AN ARROW IDENTIFYING IT AS AN EMAIL WHERE PALIN PRAISED OBAMA IN A SPEECH HE GAVE IN MICHIGAN IN 2007, REFERENCE THE SUGGESTED $1000 OIL REBATE LIKE ALASKA DOES.
Whaddya say we get on these ideas and make them Go Viral!
What a GREAT and true post! And I love your movie idea. Hey, I’d go to see it - even with those (bleh**) actors.
