If you have yet to see Tina Fey transform into Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live this past weekend, do yourself a favour and watch it here.

And as 'cute' as it is that Palin found Fey's impersonation 'amusing', isn't it a bit strange that Palin dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween one year? Isn't that kind of like John McCain dressing up as Stephen Colbert to hand out sweet bites of 'truthiness' to would-be trick-or-treaters?

Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin was amused by Tina Fey's impression of her on this weekend's "Saturday Night Live," especially as she once dressed up as Fey for Halloween.

"She thought it was quite funny, particularly because she once dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween," her spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt said, according to CBS News. Fey bears a much-remarked-upon resemblance to Palin, and they wear similar glasses.

In the skit, Fey appeared with Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton and the two talked about sexism in the media and their own ideas about politics. "I don't agree with the Bush doctrine," Poehler said at one point.

"I don't know what that is," Fey responded, poking fun at the recent Charlie Gibson interview in which some said Palin appeared not to be familiar with the Bush doctrine on terrorism.

Jarrett Martineau, I like this story. It's good stuff. And as far as that made up frase: 'The Bush Doctine" who knew? it was a trick question, somebody made it up just to trip her up.
