I LIVE WITH SARAH PALIN.

While I was in Portland, my roommate Mo bought a tube of bright orange lipstick and entered this Sarah Palin lookalike contest at some corny bar. Mo is probably the most proselytizing Obama fan that I know; she is also my favorite character actor in the $12-50,000k/year income bracket. I have seen excerpts from her 11th grade star turn in Oklahoma! and, believe me, it’s a crowdpleaser.
It’s pretty unsurprising that she won the contest. Prize: five margaritas. She will be in New York magazine next week for her efforts. Blurb or sidebar or spot on the Approval Matrix coming soon! Congratulations Mo! I hope we can stay laughing at this on November 5!
Mo on her night: “I gave a ten-minute speech on top of a bar table about how horrible Barack Obama was. I literally had to force myself to stop. I can’t remember the last time I was that drunk. I kept saying, ‘The only difference between the mayor of a town and a community organizer is… actual responsibilities.”
