SARAH PALIN
LARRY CHARLES SAYS: ''She may be the ultimate modern subversive satirist, if only inadvertently — because she's real. If Paddy Chayefsky had written a comedic movie about a character like her, you'd say it was too broad, too unbelievable. You'd say, 'This dialogue is unbelievable.' The fact that she's actually loose in our world shows you how hard it's become to be subversive in fictional entertainment. How do you compete with a woman who embodies all these crazy ideas, who lives them? She's a beauty-contest winner, a hunter, a Pentecostalist who's into speaking in tongues, and she's married to a dogsledder. There are [doctored phony] images of her standing over dead animals brandishing a gun and wearing a bikini. Yet she actually became the governor of Alaska. That's a satirical novel come to life. She puts Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger in the shadows.''
