Is America ready for Sarah Palin, the movie star? Because ready or not, here she comes. For those who can't wait for HBO's Julianne Moore-as-Palin flick "reality" is here to help, thanks to the upcoming documentary The Undefeated, the teaser for which has just dropped. Fans of crazy action-adventure music, get ready to be pumped.
The nearly two-minute teaser features a montage of Palin through the ages intercut with praise from commentators and music that could get a dead person's heart pumping. Not to mention cameos from conservatives like Andrew Breitbart to keep things interesting.
"Like a Marine, she runs toward the danger," radio host Tammy Bruce intones. "It wasn't something that Daddy gave her; it wasn't something the machine prepared the way for."
Whether or not Palin is planning on running for President in 2012 (really?) the actual film, which opens in select states next week, reportedly runs like a two-hour commercial for Palin...just one that you have to pay for. Though it does include some of the criticism lobbed against the half-term Alaskan Governor and former VP candidate up front, it is also reportedly "Rife with religious metaphor and unmistakable allusions to Palin as a Joan of Arc-like figure, 'The Undefeated' echoes Palin's 'Going Rogue' in its tidy division of the world between the heroes who are on her side and the villains who seek to thwart her at every turn."
But here, watch the teaser yourself:

With all of the lies, smears and twisting of facts used against this great American public servant to bring her down and wipe her from the face of American politics, she stood tall, beat them back. They didn't beat her, hence "The Undefeated". It has nothing to do with elections.
This movie is made for people like you who don't know one truthful fact about the woman.

Yes, she certainly stood tall and served the public when she quit the governorship of Alaska two years early in order to become a reality TV star.

do you even know what a public servant is?

She's only been defeated every time she's ever done anything in public.
