Sarah Palin Impersonator Stuns Crowd at CPAC

Sarah Palin wasn’t supposed to make a showing at CPAC this weekend. But for a moment, some thought she did.

While former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was getting ready to take the stage Friday morning, a woman resembling Palin strolled through the conference’s lobby, immediately drawing a crowd as people tried to decipher the woman’s identity:

Informed that it was not Palin, many of the gawkers shrugged and kept pushing forward with cameras and cellphones raised in the air just to glimpse the Alaskan doppleganger.

And from a distance, the impersonator did look the part – the hair, the glasses, the red suit.

Up close, though, was a different story.

She resembled Palin but when she opened her mouth the attempt at an accent came off as more Chicago than Wasilla.

“I’m here for CPAC,” said Patty [sic] Lyons*, the name of the would-be Tina Fey, according to a young YAF activist who was escorting her. “Plus I heard they had some good mooseburgers.”

Pajamas Media sat down with the fake Palin. That interview, bad accent and all, can be seen here.

Lyons has done the Palin impersonation before. Her website even calls her “the world’s premier Governor Palin impressionist”:

*The correct spelling is Patti.

    Dear Jesus,

    Please let that impersonator be a stripper. I was pausing the video of her getting out of the limo to see if there was a good upskirt shot but no luck. Oh well dare to dream.

    Sara Palin is so unique, that’s why the left media is trying to diminish her.

    I Like Palin and I like the impersonator, too. She’s good enough to work as her doppleganger. Another difference between conservatives and liberals is that we can laugh at ourselves.

      The socialist left must wear some sort of ‘TV glasses’. When ever one of their ideological idols says something, a screen play begins right in front of their eyes that blinds them from independent critical evaluation.
