This guy...

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark that most of my readership probably isn't fond of Sarah Palin. Can't say I'm entirely enamored myself. I do, however, have kind of a feeling that her husband Todd is the next breakout "fun" character from the Election Show; which needs a new one, now that those lovable Clintons are off on their spinoff series (they'll be playing two insanely-powerful political masterminds covertly destroying their own party's candidate for long-term personal gain. I smell a smash.)

For a visual-refresher, here they are:

Y'know what I like about this guy? In every photo, he's ALWAYS got an expression like she just signed them both up a year of weekly ballroom-dancing lessons without asking him first. I dunno, I just get the sense that this fella is gonna be a goldmine of press-conference-generating 'oopsie' quotes. (Oh please please please PLEASE let him have colorful drinkin' buddies with big mouths!)

Incidentally, don't bother with "Bangkok Dangerous," it's just not very good. They missed the whole point of why you use Nicholas Cage in generic 'insert-actor-here' roles: Because he's a nutty, "ticky" actor who makes such roles bearable. It doesn't WORK if you don't let him be weird about it. Here you've got a movie with Nicholas Cage tutoring a Thai pickpocket in kung-fu and playing target-practice with watermelons and he's not even allowed to do an "aww, REALLY!!??" What a waste...
