Sarah Palin receives what is by all indications a kind treatment in a new documentary that will premiere in theaters July 15. But a second, far more scathing Palin documentary is being prepared by a more experienced filmmaker. And it looks a lot more likely to stir the pot.
Nick Broomfield, the much-decorated British documentarian and muckraker, has quietly been interviewing Palin confidantes and is close to finishing his film about the former Alaska governor, said a person who was briefed on the film but asked not to be identified because of the secretive nature of the project.
According to the source, among the people who appear in the untitled movie are Palins parents as well as numerous ex-aides. Many of those people, the source added, describe her not as the likable repository of aw-shucks wisdom Palin likes to present but a more ruthless politician who has trampled over opponents and is now a potential presidential candidate.

“...but a more ruthless politician who has trampled over opponents...”
Thank God. It’s about time! How much of this “reaching across the aisle” do we have to take. (Oh - am I supposed to read this as a bad thing?)

When was a housewife, a private citizen, a mother & grandmother treated this way in the history of our country? I don't think Dick Nixon, Ronald Reagan or LBJ had this kind of vitriol directed at them, and they were PRESIDENT!! Imagine if our current de facto chief executive had to put up with 10% of the criticism she puts up with.

Well she’s certainly not a politician in the British mold.

So what is it Libs. Is she a dopey rube from Alaska or a cunning ruthless politician. You don't get it both ways. People are not buying it anymore. This doc will go no where because it sounds like just another episode of Softball with the tingling leg drunk. What a tired discredited meme.

I hope Sarah sues his @$$ for every penny he’s got.

Yeah, right. Her parents are mindless dupes at best or working against her at worst. Where do they get the guile to think up this stupid crap.
(rhetorical question, I know)

Hey 2ndDiv. I like your new tag line. I know it is an old joke, but it always brings a chuckle.

but a more ruthless politician who has trampled over opponents Is this going to the one where they quote Sarah as saying “Happiness is to crush your enemies, to see them fall at your feet, to take their horses and goods and hear the lamentation of their women”..........Just wondering :^)

I left this.
This is the best the left has? films about Heidi Fleiss, Kurt Cobain and rappers Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur. Born losers is making a big comeback.

2nd, you got that right! Sarah is a private citizen and has been subjected to the wringer like no other. I truly do not know how she keeps her sanity (or her temper) with all the crap.

Who is financing this? A leftwing foreigner making a film about an American politician? Prbably paid for, directly or indirectly, by leftwing foreigner and former Nazi collaborator Soros. I’d bet on it.

They’re terrified of last November happening again, as well they should be.
