slideshow Game Change authors Mark Halperin and John Heilemann joined Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough in discussing their best-selling and oft blogged about book. Halperin mentioned during the event that the authors are in discussions with HBO about making a film version of their best-selling book. Their dreamcast? Meryl Streep playing Hillary Clinton and Will Smith playing Barack Obama. (more...)

Wallace did praise Todd Palin, the former governor's husband and the so-called "first dude." Todd Palin was an "extraordinary spouse," Wallace said, adding that he will be a "great model for what the first husband will look like."

Well, that was a snooze fest. After weeks of anticipation about what Sarah Palin might reveal on Oprah Winfrey, or what Oprah might take Palin to account for -- death panels come to mind -- the answer in the end was: very little. What we got instead was a warm, chummy hour of Palin answering questions having mostly to do with with how Palin was treated as a woman; how she copes as a mother; and how she feels about Levi Johnston (she's sounded very tolerant...Levi has an open invitation to Thanksgiving) and "perky" Katie Couric (annoyed) .

video As reported yesterday, Sarah Palin will make her Oprah debut on November 16, one day before her already best-selling book Going Rogue is released to the public. We, also noted yesterday that the lack of Oprah's presence in during the 2008 political season (she removed herself after publicly declaring support for Barack Obama) was particularly felt after Sarah Palin entered the race and it became clear she was perhaps not equipped for the role of Vice President. That said, it's clear that Palin is hoping to relaunch her political career with the release of her memoir this November so no time like the present! (more...)

Gawker is reporting that Levi Johnston has penned an article entitled "Me and Sarah Palin" for the forthcoming October issue of Vanity Fair. And while it's not difficult to guess what will be discussed in the piece, what other revelations should we expect from the book? Mediaite has a few guesses. (more...)
