Crump: Palin Doesn’t Sound Like Sandpoint Girl
If Barack Obama wins a close election, it could be that the deciding factor is "Saturday Night Live" comedian Tina Fey and her withering impersonations of Idaho-born Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin ... Fey, a 38-year-old Pennsylvanian, has nailed the language and the mannerism of the Sandpoint-born, University of Idaho-educated Palin ... Plus she's a dead ringer for the Alaska governor ... Question is, where did Fey - and Palin - get that Minnesota accent? ... Eh? Neither Fey nor Palin, 44. has ever lived in Minnesota, but they sound very much like actress Frances McDormand in the movie "Fargo".../Steve Crump, Twin Falls Times-News. More here.
