HBO has optioned the rights to the book "Game Change" about the 2008 presidential race. The book is co-written by Mark Halperin, who spoke to the New York Post’s Page Six this morning. 

According to the article, no one in the book comes off worse than "Elizabeth Edwards, whose public persona as a stoic cancer victim ("St. Elizabeth") was wildly at odds with her shrill haughtiness."

So when Page Six asked Halperin who should play her in the HBO movie, he replied, "I like Rosie O’Donnell."

And when asked by Page Six who should play Sarah Palin, Halperin said, "Palin could play herself. It seems she’s willing to do almost anything for money…"
