A Broadsheet Comments Thread Worth Reading?

I can't believe it either, but it's true (sorry, Broadsheet writers; I love you guys, but your commenters generally suck ass). Apparently HBO is going to make a movie about the 2008 campaign. Sarah Hepola asks:

This is a women's blog, so we'll start here: Who should play Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton? (Bonus points for casting Obama and McCain and Bubba.) At the end of the day, we'll check back in and see who the likeliest candidates are. HBO, we got this thing!

Answers in the comments are cracking me the hell up. I can't help envision a league of competing Sarah Palins having a conversation full of nonsense. Some genius picks for Palin include Megan Mullaly (you know, Karen from Will & Grace? Brilliant!), Sandra Bullock (she does a great airhead), and Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Elaine from Seinfeld), who is just a brilliant comic actress.

Hillary is more difficult. I nominate Allison Janney, mostly just because I love love love her and want to marry her every time I see her in anything.

I am surprised that no one nominated Richard Dreyfus for John McCain. It's the obvious pick, I think. No one does annoying asshole better than Dreyfus. Although the suggestion of Jason Alexander for McCain has me giggling at my desk.

I'll leave the Obama picks to the comments. Sorry for stealing your idea, Sarah Hepola!
