Is it me or does Sarah Palin look like Tina Fey?

I can see the SNL skits ahead...Amy Poehler playing Hillary versus Tina Fey playing Sarah.

Sarah doesn't stand a chance. But on a serious note, here's a perspective on Sarah Palin from an Alaskan on an Alaskan website, "Mudflats":

What is McCain Thinking? One Alaskan’s Perspective.

I find this part particularly interesting...

After all this, Wooten was investigated and disciplined on two counts and allowed to kept his position with the troopers. Enter Walt Monegan, Palin’s appointed new chief of the Department of Public Safety and head of the troopers. Monegan was beloved by the troopers, did a bang-up job with minimal funding and suddenly got axed. Palin was out of town and Monegan got “offered another job” (aka fired) with no explanation to Alaskans. Pressure was put on the governor to give details, because rumors started to swirl around the fact that the highly respected Monegan was fired because he refused to fire the aforementioned Mike Wooten. Palin vehemently denied ever talking to Monegan or pressuring Monegan in any way to fire Wooten, or that anyone on her staff did. Over the weeks it has come out that not only was pressure applied, there were literally dozens of conversations in which pressure was applied to fire him. Monegan has testified to this fact, spurring an ongoing investigation by the Alaska state legislature. But, before this investigation got underway, Palin sent the Alaska State Attorney General out to do some investigative work of his own so she could find out in advance what the real investigation was going to find. (No, I’m not making this up). The AG interviewed several people, unbeknownst to the actual appointed investigator or the Legislature! Palin’s investigation of herself uncovered a recorded phone call retained by the Alaska State Troopers from Frank Bailey, a Palin underling, putting pressure on a trooper about the Wooten non-firing. Todd Palin (governor’s husband) even talked to Monegan himself in Palin’s office while she was away. Bailey is now on paid administrative leave.

Didn't anyone tell McCain that Alaska right now is KNOWN for their CORRUPT politicians?

If this is the best McCain can do, it proves he does not have the judgement and is NOT FIT to be our next POTUS!

Cindy McCain on ABC Today: Palin Has National Security Experience Because Alaska Is Close To Russia

Not only does Sarah Palin's choice as VP prove that John McCain does not have the judgement to be POTUS, Sunday's interviews prove that Cindy McCain in an airhead (add that to the long list of descriptive nouns) and should not be first lady.

Anyone who seriously believes this is a "CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER" to our country.

Palin Received Millions In

Palin Received Millions In Earmarks, Clouding Reformer Image

The presentation of Palin as an anti-earmark, fiscally conscious pol is challenged by a review of recent political records. As mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, she hired the firm of Hoffman Silver Gilman & Blasco to help secure spending projects for her town. The expenditure apparently paid off. From 2000 through 2002, Wasilla received more than $5.5 million in federal cash for transportation and social service projects.

According to the group Citizens Against Government Waste, the city received $1 million for a bus facility in 2000. In 2001, the Wasilla Health Center was granted a half million dollars for a community mental health center. That same year the city's emergency shelter also was granted $500,000 for a transitional living program for homeless youth. A year later, the Wasilla regional dispatch center received $1 million in pork, the city was granted $1.5 million for water and sewer improvements, and received an additional $600,000 for a bus facility.
