She just wants to be Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin wannabe at CPAC
Ok…so…she does look like Governor Palin but we all know that the Governor was not at CPAC. This Sarah Palin impersonator stunned crowds at the CPAC convention today in Washington and fooled a lot of people. Apparently, she even gave interviews. I know it probably wasn’t done maliciously but something about this really gets my hackles up. It’s one thing if the liberal media (redundancy alert) mocks Governor Palin….we expect that… but someone at CPAC? Cocktail Party hit job? I’m not saying this lady was mocking the Governor (because I don’t really know) but this is just wrong.
There is only ONE Sarah Palin.
Period.

That just reminds me of the cosplayers (people who dress up in costume as specific character) at most major conventions (comic, anime, etc) I am not surprised that someone as iconic as Sarah has some cosplayers of her own!
I started watching an interview with her on PJTV and then realized it wasn’t her. Very disappointing.
This impersonator , I think, was a plant to re-enforce the idea that Governor Palin is an idiot, because that is the way this woman presented herself. Even the way she spoke to the people gathered around her, purposely was intended to push them away. This was a very disturbing breech in CPAC’s plans, and it was meant to further smear Gov. Palin to make her seem unelectable.
Kevin, I have to agree with you. I saw this earlier and it left a small pit in my stomach. But I didn’t really know why.
It just bugs me because it just has “Cocktail Party” stamped all over it. It just feels like they are mocking her and I hate it.
Really? As a convention-goer who has seen a lot of dress-up/cosplay of favorite characters, so I see it as flattery. I know a lot of conservatives aren’t really familiar with that culture but a lot of us younger ones are and dressing up in costume isn’t really that unusual. I’m giving this one the benefit if the doubt until I hear some of the interviews… is it actually “in character” or is it” I can see Russia from my house?”
I hope you’re right. My fingers are crossed.
Exactly. I think it’s all in good fun! It’s unfortunate that some people were fooled, but other than that I think it’s a tribute to Sarah that people want to be her.
The problem, and the question that everyone should be asking, is why aren’t they also doing it for Romney and the rest of the dwarves…
When they do that, then “it’s all in good fun” and we can give them the benefit of the doubt. Until then. Uh, no.
Because those other dwarves aren’t nearly as popular?
Obviously, the answer is… because Sarah Palin is iconic, and the other ones aren’t.
Yep – What Michelle said. Sarah Palin is iconic. The others aren’t. Those of you out there who don’t think she’s electable better find someone who has that same charisma.
Like Rick Santorum’s not so subtle jab at Sarah’s character the other day, when he was asked why she wasn’t accepting the speaking invitation. He implied that she had other things to do that had to do with money or that she needed to stay home with her children. Ricky is running for President and is already sticking knifes in peoples backs. I DON’T TRUST HIM. I’ll bet if she doesn’t run he’ll be more than happy to have her campaign for him.
She and CPAC members weren’t mocking. The idea of Sarah Palin excites people, even an impersonator generates buzz!
Not Tina Fey I presume, you know, a rip-off of a Candid Camera stunt.
Tina Fey is extremely homely looking next to Sarah Palin. That so many people consider her a doppelganger puzzles me.
Jen, try as I might, I don’t get the comparison, either. Sarah Palin has a glow that radiates from within, Tina Fey does not. (And it’s not lighting, either!)
Believe me, for two years Sarah have been preparing herself not just to defeat her primary oponents but to defeat Tina Fey and the Obama media.
We’ve already got an impersonator in the the WH, or haven’t you noticed?
Yeah, most of us have noticed. His double is at Lincoln Park Zoo
What woman WOULDN’T want to be Sarah?
I think the whole thing is kind of funny, and she looks pretty darn close to Sarah, unlike Tina Fey who the libs like to delude themselves into thinking looks *just* like her. Other than brown hair, I don’t have much in common with Sarah looks wise, but I had fun dressing up as her for Halloween, and I just recently ordered Sarah Palin glasses. She is an absolutely beautiful woman in all senses of the word.
Pretty good attempt considering the lookalike is much shorter than the original.
Heh.
Hey a “fake” Palin gets more attention than mittens ( or anyone else for that matter). I’m going to take this as a good thing.
well until we can confirm if this actor was a cocktail party paid how hollow the CPAC event is without the next President in attendance (no harm meant to our faves West and Bachmann!)
I knew right away that it wasn’t Sarah. I watched the PJTV interview, and she didn’t say anything that would embarass Sarah, I don’t think. I did get a queasy stomach, however.
But then, I always go back to the tried and true, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”. Think about it. It’s usually true.
I thought it was a subtle mocking. It was meant to remind people of the, “I can see Russia from my porch,” SNL comment that many think was said personally by Sarah. The impersonator acted dumb.
SaraH Palin is us!
we still love this one – so simple and pure

I wholeheartedly agree!
can you believe it has been almost 2.5 years since she walked on to he stage for the first time in Dayton (notice the old RINO standing next to her)

and of course – a trip down memory lane to honor Sarah – remember the convention when she she made us wish the ticket was switched with her at the top?

A bit OT, however Fox is conducting a poll at: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/02/10/cpac-brackets-sweet-gop-presidential-candidates/?cmpid=cmty_twitter_Gigya_CPAC_Brackets%3A_Sweet_16_for_GOP_Presidential_Candidates
Don’t be deceived that she’s #1. Check the results in the second column — Ron Paul is ahead. You can vote more than once by hitting F5.

here she is performing at a democrat fundraiser- poking fun at palin and getting big laughs from the left. poking fun at the left and getting big groans…..
i was hoping maybe this would take attention away from tina fey, but…..she doesn’t seem to be any better than her. well, she looks more like her. but she’s still making fun of palin at the same time. i don’t like it.

Now Palin would..you bet’Ch
I had just falling over heel for her.I love her views and her love for the people and America, I say Sarah 2012
It really gets my hackles up too!
My husband keeps telling me that Sarah looks like me, but I would NEVER try to impersonate her [or anyone else for that matter]. I think it is just disgusting, especially give all of the trouble Sarah has anyway.
Btw, here is a neat article from C4P that nails it:
Sarah Palin is Not Your Sugar Mama, GOP

thanks for that one – the story gives us a fresh take on how they treat Sarah – they need to be her cheerleader!
Agreed
Kevin, what do you think about Donald Trump?
I loved his speech at CPAC. Did you see it?
It’s on YouTube (of course). I would be very interested in your thoughts about him. Thanks.
there was a woman who did the same thing at her book signing in Columbus in fall of 2009..her first tour..the woman was older and not this pretty but she had the suit, the hair and the glasses…all of us waiting in line sort of chuckled quietly at her deal..eventually Border’s asked her to leave and she did…
I hope this woman stops her stunt. There have been presidential impersenators, even of Carter, but in these climes it just takes one Palin clone going rogue for the Muslim Supporting Media to draw&quarter the real Palin.
On the bright side, at least it wasn’t Ron Paul in drag. Or one of his Paulians dressed up.
I went to her website and saw a clip from somewhere in the south, Alabama I think.
She was with the Bill Clinton and the Barack Obama (the one that was on Huckabee)impersonators. Limo and all.
At the end of the clip some man said it was a democratic get together. Not sure how long ago. She referenced her tv show and some other current things.
I didn’t see anything that was bashing Palin. More like Leno or Conan Obrien when they do standup. I laughed several times.
I see an upside to this. Palin should hire her as a double. The liberal media would be distracted and the real Sarah could move along without distraction. Not to mention the liberal heads would explode. Two Palins? Explosion!!
I was there and some people really thought it was her. They screamed and ran up to her, and were disappointed that it was not the real deal. Their comments were that if it was the real one, there would be more security. What was interesting was that military school cadets were most interested in having pictures with her. I think military people know which candidate appreciates them.
There was a lady at the Dallas (Plano) book signing who did this same thing, too. Not seeing the PJTV interview, I think it’s all in good fun.
If this is the same one (and I think it is) this gal was at the Concord NH Tea Party Express Rally last fall, and she was less than cordial to those around her and generally acting unlike Sarah Palin would. (I was on the tour and met Gov. Palin who was gracious, sincere and generous with her time). I found this Palin wanna-be to be off-putting, and definitely NOT a good representation of Gov. Palin. If anyone there thought it was Sarah, they would have come away with a negative impression. This gal is attracted to the spotlight like a moth to a flame. And a lousy imitation of Gov. Palin. Parasite is the word that comes to mind.
