TUCSON, Arizona (AP) -- The best-selling memoir for Sen. John McCain could be hitting the big screen.

Producers Robert Michael Geisler and John Roberdeau (1998's "The Thin Red Line" producers) purchased film rights to the book "Faith of My Fathers" earlier this year for an undisclosed sum and are planning a feature film, the Arizona Daily Star reported Sunday.

Agreed, Jason Alexander would be the best. He did a pretty good job narrating a while back a special on carnival freak shows.

"He's written a terribly honest memoir, and we would be foolish not to use the resources he could make available to us," Roberdeau said.

I can't wait to read about how he was eye deep in SCREWING the american TaxPayer with his back room pressure on Bank Regulators for his Money man, Charles Keating.

Come ON Backstabber Johnny, tell us all about it. Perhaps he could get Billy Clintler cast to play that role.

Anyone mention Billy Barty, it would be a perfect size match? I'm kind of leaning toward Helen Thomas to play Cindy.

The only one still around from that movie is Anglea Lanesbury, that would be a unique choice, though.

If it a terribly honest memoir, they should show what a poor flyer he was, how many planes he crashed and how he lit off that missile that almost burned the air craft carrier to the water line. Oh yeah, that he is raving nuts, too.

We must not forget McCain's firs wife -- the loyal woman whom he dumped for Cindy and the adopted daughter whom he paraded during the primaries.

You people are disgustingly viscious and you have absolutely no talent for casting. If they really are going to make a movie about McCain's P.O.W. experience, Tom Cruise would be the best choice. Cruise isn't very tall and he sort of resembles McCain in his early 30's. Plus, he's actually a decent actor.
