our big fat alaskan vp candidate.

Maybe it's too soon to make a movie of the current presidential campaigns, but I've decided that Nia Vardalos would make an excellent Sarah Palin.



Vardalos is known for her wacky comedies and if there's one word that definitely applies to Sarah Palin, it's "zany." What else do you call someone who hates polar bears?

They even have the same fashion sense! You're welcome, Hollywood! I've done your casting work for you. I've even picked out your McCain:



Who knew Richard Dreyfus could look so old and creepy? He's perfect!

We just have to be careful not to make the Sarah Palin movie too much like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Palin is already married, so changing the wedding reception for an inaugural ball or concession speech would be a given. Toula goes through quite a transformation, from insecure slob to stylish student. Since Palin thought not so long ago that Obama leading in the Alaskan polls was pretty cool, maybe her big transformation should be to embrace her conservative tendencies and to, maybe, learn what the Vice President does. The lamb the Greek family cooks on a spit in their yard needs to can be replaced with another garish dead animal and I think the obvious choice is Palin's huge bear carcas.


The only possible problem is that Nia Vardalos is actually older than Sarah Palin and may be a little too classy for this role.
