This is probably due in large part to people, especially male people, not being able to distinguish easily between women. (Quick – how many female female impersonators do you know of? I only know one.) But if you set a picture down in front of me and asked “Tina Fey or Sarah Palin?”, I wouldn’t be able to answer confidently. I don’t think I can tell them apart.
I thought of this while looking at this week’s Newsweek cover. But you can see it elsewhere:
The key is to listen to them speak extemporaneously. Governor Palin is the one who sounds like Mork from Ork.
Seriously, though, the resemblence isn’t THAT close (when Ms. Fey isn’t doing deliberate mimickry.) Governor Palin is attractive once you account for her age and profession. Tina Fey is simply hot.
Tina Fey has a fish hook scar on the left side of her mouth. Sarah Palin gave it to her when they were both kids. Tina never talks about it. Weirdly, I think it’s hot.
There’s a resemblance, and Palin looks more Fey than any other famous person, but they don’t look THAT much alike. And for the record, I think Biden looks a bit like Phil Hartman. I wish Hartman was around for that sketch.
