Truth can sure be stranger than fiction - especially these days.
When I first saw a pic of Sarah Palin, I thought, "omg! It's Tina Fey!" I sure wasn't alone in that.
Now comes an article by Agence France-Presse, a news service analogous to the AP, about the preparations for the VP debate, which is accompanied by this photo:
Isabelle Carreau, writing on a blog called TV Squad, said
Thing is, the snafu wasn't only made in my local newspaper. Actually, the article, with the picture attached, was written by Agence France-Presse, a company similar to the Associated Press; this means that the article and the SNL picture was published around the world! Oops! It's one thing for AFP to make the mistake but what about all those newspapers that didn't see the problem with the picture before publishing it? Double oops! I can't wait to see the apology in tomorrow's newspaper!

The English translation of caption under it says that during interviews, Palin is hesitant, troubled and clumsy but didn’t offer more on where the picture was taken and who was on the right.
This just goes to show that In Palin’s case, it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction!
It's a tough time for all of us, so I'll end on a light note: a yockfest on CNN, comparing Tina's and Sarah's performances:
update
if I'd a thought of it earlier, the poll would be: do you think this was a mistake?
