Help! I need some good retorts to the people who keep
telling me I look like Sarah Palin! It started about two days after her selection and it's getting worse! My friend suggested getting t-shirts that say, "I'm NOT Sarah!" I'm considering going blond for the first time in my adult life!

1. Well, the only good thing I can say about Palin is
she's very easy on the eyeballs.

Looking like her is not all bad, I'm just saying. Although I can imagine that right now it's really annoying.

2. Correct! She is a physically attractive woman, so
I would take it as a compliment and simply say, "thank you!" :hi:

5. Blah! It's so annoying. And they say it like
I should just gush at them "Oh THANKS! Isn't she GREAT!!!" I keep saying bitchy things like, "Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not dumb enough to get on an airplane when my water has broken and fly all the way back from Texas to Alaska." I'm afraid that my people skills are kind of rusty after living alone with 4 kids 8, 6, 4, and 3 while their Daddy has been in Iraq for the last year.

20. "Thanks, but no thanks." LOL
Thanks, but no thanks for that comparison to nowhere. If I wanted to be compared to Sarah Palin I'd shoot myself."

17. The worst part of it is that I come from Montana originally, so I
totally have the damned accent too. lmfao I might be able to give Tina Fey a run for her money. I think I'll be Palin for Halloween.

21. Take advantage of it.
Sure, I look like her, but I'm not a moron.

I look like her but I can admit I'm not qualified to be Vice President. Or, I look like her but I'm MORE qualified to be Vice President.

Edited on Thu Sep-18-08 12:16 PM by qwertyMike
after McCain croaks while in office.

You could make a fortune as a Secret Service stand-in/decoy.

Best wishes to hubby over there

31. Hmmmm.......I should get extensions and learn to do my hair
just like hers and get some glasses just like hers too and ALWAYS wear an Obama shirt out in public. That could actually be really rich.
