Julianne Moore: It wasn't Sarah Palin's fault

From the Politico: Julianne Moore: It wasn't Sarah Palin's fault
Julianne Moore says she felt some sympathy for Sarah Palin after studying her role in the 2008 presidential election for HBO’s upcoming movie “Game Change.”

“I do think the situation that she was put in was a completely untenable one,” the actress recently told the New York Post.

When picked as John McCain’s running mate, Palin “was suddenly almost in lockdown, where [she] wasn’t allowed to speak to anybody unless it went through the proper channels. They were telling her what to do and how to dress. And how to behave,” Moore said. “So they take a candidate for what she is and what she represents, and they want to make her into something else.”

Moore’s portrayal of Palin looks pretty harsh based on a trailer for the film, but she still has nice things to say about the former gov.

“I think she’s very canny,” Moore said. “And she’s extremely hardworking and ambitious, and would not have reached the place that she reached without ability. You don’t get to be a vice-presidential candidate by accident.”
