New Sarah Palin Film to Launch in Iowa: "Fear and Loathing in Des Moines"

Alternative Titles for the New Feature-length Documentary About Sarah Palin's Life and Times

Connie Wilson
It was reported in the Chicago Tribune on Thursday, May 26, that a film about Sarah Palin entitled "The Undefeated" is going to be screened first in Iowa. The Hawkeye state already has a reputation for all things corny, as I well know (being a native), so this seems appropriate.

It seems even more apropos should the Palin person decide to announce she is running for President of the United States. After all, if Donald Trump can (and Pat Paulsen before him), why not Sarah Palin? Why else make a movie about a woman who didn't even finish out her full term as Governor of Alaska and is now reported to be buying real estate in Arizona?

The film is a 2-hour documentary financed by conservative filmmaker Stephen Bannon. With $1 million and Palin's help and permission, footage has been obtained (and included) of Ms Palin's time as a member of the Wasilla City Council. (It was not reported if there was film of her resigning her office as Governor mid-way through her term.)

Besides giving me a "heads up" that I must make it a point to catch this no-doubt Oscar-worthy and eminently objective movie, it set off political pundits at the Tribune to the point that an entire article was devoted to possible alternative titles (tongue-in-cheek). They ran in the Sunday, May 29, 2011 Chicago Tribune, and, quite frankly, they are too good to keep under wraps. Some appeared on various blogs, but I have added some original titles of my own:
