BANGOR, Maine—A Maine TV news anchor who bears a resemblance to the Republican vice presidential nominee says she's been getting "hate mail and nasty phone calls" from viewers who think she's trying to copy Sarah Palin's signature style.
Cindy Michaels from WVII-TV has long brown hair that she sometimes wears up in a style similar to Palin's, and she also wears glasses on occasion.
Michaels says viewers recently began accusing her of trying to copy Palin's style or, even worse, somehow trying to subliminally sway votes. She says one viewer criticized her as "the Kmart version of Sarah Palin" because she wasn't wearing her glasses, which by the way, aren't the clear-rim style favored by Palin.
While smarting over accusations of bias, Michaels told the Bangor Daily News that she's generally flattered by the comparisons to Palin.
"It's a compliment. She's a beautiful woman, and I respect her and what she's done. That doesn't bother me," she said. "What bothers me is that people somehow think I'm being a biased journalist. It's really just a huge coincidence."
Michaels is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame. "Inside Edition" is sending a crew to film her, and "The Ellen Degeneres Show" has contacted her as well, she said Tuesday.

She looks more like Sarah than that other gal, chubby little thing.
Not Guilty.
Leave it to the Boston Globe to open the article on a completely negative spin. At least they know their degenerate market and how to capture their attention with the first sentence.
Just further proof that liberal moonbats suffer from a form of insanity...
The real test of the talking head's look alike quotient is how she looks carrying a moose rifle.
. . . and during the Kennedy administration many women emulated a “Jackie look”, but, since they were Democrats, a pass is given by the MSM and their ilk . . . .
Tina Fey is a PERFECT match. This one looks nothing like Sarah.
And Cindy and Sarah combined spend less on their hair than John Edwards.
Moose Rifle = .338. That works just fine thank you.
ROFL
Cindy and Sarah combined spend less on their hair than John Edwards.

that’s not good for the economy. we may need a hair relief act. :-)
haha one of these does not look like the others :)
They should find a Joe Biden lookalike.
But then again who wants to find someone that looks like some A-hole from middle management.
I guess it would be bad form to say that there a whole lot of Obama lookalikes from my point of view.
It’s funny how the “Sarah Palin” look has become a phenomenon. Tina Fey from “SNL” has changed her “look” in recent weeks to look different from Sarah. I didn’t watch it but in pictures I saw Tina Fey wasn’t wearing her tademark glasses at the Emmy’s. Opps that’s got to gurt her “style” got co-opted by a Smart,Attractive,Successfull,and worst of all Conservative woman.
