Fake Sarah Palin earns a real New York welcome BY PATRICK HUGUENIN and GINA SALAMONE DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS Tuesday, September 23rd 2008, 12:53 PM Xanthos/News 'Sarah Palin' enjoys a New York City staple, a hot dog from a vendor. 'Sarah Palin' takes in the sights. Sabo/News 'Sarah Palin' takes in the sights. Daily News Sarah Palin knocked 'em dead on the streets of New York Monday - and she wasn't even here yet. We followed her to Madison Square Garden, Times Square, Rockefeller Center and Washington Square Park, where she elicited cheers, waves and shocked stares. Star-struck voters hounded her for autographs and pictures. One guy yelled: "You're hot! But I hope you lose." There was just one hitch: Our "Palin" was a fake! She was really a 29-year-old look-alike named Kristy Webb - and most people were fooled. RELATED: PALIN BARS, THEN ADMITS REPORTERS AT UNITED NATIONS MEETINGS The Daily News hired Webb to walk in Palin's patent leather pumps for a day - accompanied by two fake bodyguards - to see what kind of welcome she'd get when she spends the day here Tuesday. The verdict: Sorry, Sarah. New Yorkers can't wait to meet you - but not too many of them are going to vote for you. PHOTOS: AN UNREAL ADVENTURE IN NEW YORK FOR 'SARAH PALIN' She was swarmed by flocks of camera-toting tourists at Madison Square Garden. Architect Ted Bodnar, 42, of New Jersey, stopped her to sign his newspaper, and student Joe Alianello, 19, had her sign his hockey puck. "She seems nice," Alianello, also from New Jersey, told us. "She seems smart. She likes hockey." Fake-Palin's clumsy attempts to greet Queens resident Isabel Rijo, 78, in Spanish couldn't squelch the enthusiasm. "I wish she was the vice president," Rijo said. FIRST PERSON: WALKING A MILE IN THE PITBULL'S LIPSTICK In Times Square, tourists craned their necks and aimed their cameras from tour buses. Lehman Brothers employee Leslee Gelber, 39, stopped for a handshake and well wishes. Our Palin dropped by NBC to try to get a meeting with famous Doppelgänger Tina Fey, but with no success. She munched a hot dog at Rockefeller Center instead. Vendor Esameldin Badran of Staten Island told her, "I think you're great. Good luck!" And quickly added, "That'll be $2." In Washington Square Park, NYU student Matt Hooper, 20, hollered "Obama '08" as faux-Palin passed. "I'm not a fan of her policies," he told us. "In this park, I don't think she'll be very popular." Marty Levinson, 68, let fake-Palin take a picture with his granddaughter, but only after he pinned an Obama button to the tot's shirt. "If her parents see her with anyone who even looks like Palin," he said, "they'll strangle me." www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/09/22/2008-09-22_fake_sarah_palin_earns_a_real_new_york_w.html

I was the guy who got the hockey puck signed....I was collecting autographs outside MSG for the Rangers, when a Daily News reporter saw that I had hockey pucks and asked me if I wanted to get one of my pucks signed by a decoy Sarah Palin. It was stupid, 2 fake looking security guys for the VP nominee....lol, sure..... Posted by njalijoe on Sep 23, 2008 7:58 AM

As VP special needs children families will have a friend in the zWhite House.
(SARAH! SARAH! SARAH!)
Our opponents look at the past; we're looking to the future. Their viewpoint starting to look "pretty doggone thin".
McCain talks about the wars we're involved in , and isn't afraid to use the word "victory".
(USA! USA! USA!)

John McCain knows what it takes to win a war. (He does?)
What John McCain and I believe in is what (Saint) Ronald Reagan believed in.

www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081014/GJNEWS_01/710149767 The Republican vice presidential nominee is expected to take the stage around 11 a.m., with the program beginning at 10:15 a.m. Doors open at 9 a.m., and tickets — which are being distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis — are required.
The campaign says tickets do not guarantee entry to the event, which will be held in the high school gym at 25 Alumni Drive.
The nearest ticket location is....So let me see.. I have to travel in the opposite direction for an annoying distance for tickets that may not guarantee admission! Plus it kills half the day, and I'd have to take all that time off from work. Wow, what an attractive offer!

Olberman talked about the Scranton appearance today, guess just before it started someone said "kill him" (yet again) in reference to Obama. He said in all fairness she maybe didn't hear, but she has yet to repudiate similar/identical reactions from previous crowds.
Chances are, these people are overly zealous volunteers who are planted in the crowd for a little shit stirring.. Which almost makes me want to go to the appearance to observe this madness in action. I might get mad and shout something that get me hustled out.. Nah better not.

Nah better not. volunteers is the operative word there...saw it too...insitgators in Kamikaze role? spurring a racial war? still, even if it happened it would be the "thems" involved... I think it's a stupid tactic, but thankfully predictive:... too bad the usual unpreventable casualties, unless of course something "radical" happens. or something "subtle" . flowers in the dirt lol

He said in all fairness she maybe didn't hear, but she has yet to repudiate similar/identical reactions from previous crowds." Unfortunately, the term 'kill' is used in this neck of the woods as a way of expressing victory. People say, "I'll kill him" meaning: "I'll whoop his ass." (Or I'll win my case, or whatever.) So if it was a local yokel who said it, it may not have been intended the way it sounded to the rest of the civilized world. A few years ago I was visiting a friend of mine, and her son said he would kill her. I pulled her aside when I had a chance, and asked her if she was in danger. "Oh no!" she said. "We say that all the time." So....that's the way it is around here.

best moment in last night's debate: about health insurance, when McCain was spouting on saying business will be fined for non-compliance (like Joe plumber, that was fucking hilarious, BTW, the constant plea to Joe\Jo the plumber ) implying how the little man will be the loser.... and obama counters with "zero dollars" as in small business would be exempt, a fact McCain obviously did not know or expect....I think he almost lost it at that point.....lol but obama really blew it on his assessment of palin as future VP, he was too tactful, where as McCain attacked biden. he should have used the opportunity better, and very strange he did not ( obama)
