Or were Law and Order's Mariska Hargitay and Miss Alaska runner-up Sarah Palin separated at birth?
I'm not complaining, but being a celebrity look-alike is not exactly a major qualification to be one heartbeat from the Presidency. Especially when the heart in question belongs to the aging John McCain.

There have been some particularly inane comments regarding Sarah Palin's "experience" including this bit of craziness from Steve Doocy of Fox News (and echoed by Cindy McCain a short time later). Applying the same sort of logic, we naturally arrive at the following top-ten list.

No one expected Tim Russert's death, and he wasn't "aging". Age had nothing to do with it, so it's not an argument in my book. The whole "hearbeat away" comment is a bit redundant. I'd rather see Palin be a #2 than to have the inexperience of Obama as a #1 any day.
