A news anchor at a FOX affiliate in Maine has received “hate mail and nasty phone calls” from viewers who think she bears a striking resemblance to the Republican vice presidential nominee.
Cindy Michaels, a newscaster from FOX affiliate WVII-TV in Bangor, Maine, wears her hair up in a similar style to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and sometimes wears glasses.
“Since the day that McCain announced that Sarah Palin was his running mate, I had friends and family tell me that I look like her,” she said. “I don’t think I look like her, I think I look like me.”
Viewers have noticed the similarity, and Michaels has received phone calls from viewers that have gone from unflattering to just plain harsh.

What a bunch of completely retarded morons! These same people are the ones that will tell you they are the “enlightened” ones, and conservatives are racists, backwards, and whatever else they come up with.
I used to do photography at the elementary school in Fairplay, Colorado. It’s the only school in South park. The principal showed me letters written to Cartman, Chef, etc.. Some people didn’t understand that South Park was a cartoon and that the people didn’t exist.
....and we wonder why people vote for Democrats.
