Sarah Palin and Tina Fey look identical, but what would happen if they were given each others’ roles?

Whilst everyone is wondering how McCain’s choice panders to Hillary Clinton supporters, some of us in the micro-blogging world are thinking of the more shallow aspects, such as “ZOMG, SHE’S TINA FEY’S TWIN!!!111ONEONEONE!!!!” I’m sure Tina Fey would be flattered, considering Sarah Palin is about 6 years older than her (yes, I DID Google it).

I was meant to be writing an essay for something, but looking at my 30 Rock DVD, this got me thinking… What would they both do if their roles were reversed, and Tina Fey was potentially going to be the next VP, and Sarah Palin was the actress?

Please be aware that my knowledge of American politics sucks, and any inaccuracies in this post – of which there are many – are my own. The images were taken for information purposes only, and all the bad photoshopping was my own work. Also, I know almost nothing about the personal lives of Sarah Palin and Tina Fey, save for a few articles on Wikipedia (and the fact that I watch too much 30 Rock).

If Sarah Palin was a comic genius…

1. Most of her jokes would be linked to the oil crisis (she married Todd Palin, an ‘oil production operative’).
2. Instead of ‘Mean Girls’ being released, it would have been ‘Mean Pageants’ – I wonder if she still feels bitter about coming 2nd in the Miss Alaska beauty pageant?
3. SNL would avoid any jokes that were to do with gay marriage.
4. Celebrities who had ‘inhaled marijuana’ would be given a sympathetic shoulder to cry on.
5. The ‘Dear Sister’ SNL sketch would have had her in a starring role, due to her lifetime membership to the National Rifle Association.
6. As the main character in 30 Rock, she would have just shot people if they was being annoying.
7. Instead of eating cookies, she would have eaten moose burger instead.
8. 30 Rock would be pro-Republic, as opposed to leaning towards the Democrats.
9. Baby Mama would have talked about being pro-life throughout.
10. She’d be excellent on political satire shows.

If Tina Fey was a potential Vice President…

1. She’d attempt to make everyone learn Klingon (yay for Star Wars fans)!
2. She’d introduce a proposal to give writers huge salaries, to prevent another writer’s strike from happening again.
3. Her speeches would actually be funny.
4. She’d probably be best friends with the Senate by the time the election rolled around.
5. There’d be lots of hybrid cars whizzing about the place!! (Wikipedia says she drives a Lexus hybrid)
6. Oh, and like any other environmentalist, she’d encourage more recycling… [Have you realised that I don't know much about her yet?]
7. Hopefully she’d make McCain smile more than once a year – [ignoring the fact that she's apparently a Democrat and supported Hillary Clinton].
8. Anything to do with creative arts would be recommended for a large boost in funding.
9. Less internet censorship! I doubt that McCain even realises the impact of the internet. When he announced that Sarah Palin was going to be his running mate, her website’s servers automatically went down, haha.
10. Lastly, I guess she’d be good PR?

You’ll probably never see any of the things I’ve mentioned in the post above happening, but one can dream, can’t they? Everything you have just read also proves that I have way too much time on my hands.
