Take one teleplay-emitting device of your choosing, add Budd Schulberg, Elia Kazan, Andy Griffith, Patricia Neal, Lee Remick, stir over a smoldering fire and step back just before it explodes!
It's the Sarah Palin story -- starring Andy Griffith as Sarah Palin and Lonesome Rhodes' Cracker Barrel Hour as the timeless platitudes that resonate so well with the Faux News and totally independent Tea Party network.
Tuesday, Dec. 8, 9:45 p.m. Eastern -- Turner Classic Movies -- A Face in the Crowd.
Wait-a-minute. It's the Billy O'Really? story -- A radio and television personality travels to work in a limousine, assures the people he hates that he's on their side, manipulates the masses through highly charged, emotional canards, and gets his money railing against the elites.
