NRO: Palin the Undefeated

"By far, the most eye-opening part of the film — and no doubt, most useful to the presidential hopes of Palin — is the second act, detailing Palin’s time as Alaska’s governor. Oil companies are the relentless villain of Alaskan politics; in retrospect it seems bizarre that the woman most hated by modern liberals spent so much of her career fighting tooth and nail with oil-company executives. During this whole stretch, there isn’t a partisan note. Alaskan politics is painted as a rigged game benefiting the politically powerful and influential with the citizenry getting the short end of the stick, time and again — until Palin appears on the scene."

THANK YOU for that link!
And, it's posted on RINO Central - NRO!
Here's more about the "PDS" opening, from Jim Geraghty at www.nationalreview.com:
...Before the screening, Bannon mentioned that I and other political reporters were about to watch the “X-rated version,” as opposed to a “XXX-rated version” that he envisions being released on DVD someday.

Within the first four minutes, the reason for that cryptic remark was clear, and the X rating is well deserved:

The worst sneers, insults, and furious denunciations from Palin’s enemies are presented in their original language, sans any bleeps.

(A version in theaters is likely to bleep out the worst ones.)

The F word and the C word make multiple appearances.

What’s remarkable is that the acidic comments from comedians such as David Letterman, Joan Rivers, Rosie O’Donnell, and Tracey Morgan aren’t really jokes. There’s no punch line per se; calling Palin “slutty” or a “whore,” or offering some other (usually sexual) insult, apparently is supposed to be the punch line.
"I believe you have to grab the audience in the beginning," Bannon says.
Perhaps he’s understated his grab.
