Tina Fey might have fun with it, but Maine television anchor Cindy Michaels says it's not always easy looking like Sarah Palin.

According to a story on sunjournal.com,
"Michaels gets e-mails and phone calls from people who insist she is trying to sway voters with the Palin look. She gets e-mails and phone calls from people who claim she is being vain."

One woman called her station, WVII, and referred to Michaels as "the Kmart version of Sarah Palin."

Williams' accusers note that she wears her hair up as Palin does and wears hip glasses as Palin does. Most Americans had never set eyes on Sarah Palin before John McCain named her as his running mate a few weeks ago, but Michaels says she's been wearing her hair up for years and has worn glasses or contact lenses since she was a teenager.

That prompted reporter Mark LaFlamme to question whether Sarah Palin should be accused of copying Cindy Michaels look. But it sounds to me like he's just another one of those mean reporters picking on Palin.
