?w=600Melania Trump has had a rough couple of days. After delivering what seemed to be a marvelously poised and polished speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention, she was ambushed by accusations that she lifted key phrases of her speech from one that First Lady Michelle Obama made at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. (She also apparently worked in a RickRoll during the speech, too.)
So far, Trump hasnt been able to defend herself in her own words unless you count her appearance last night on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Broadway powerhouse Laura Benanti debuted her polished Melania Trump impression and, guys, its pretty darn great.

(26,289 posts)1. I wondered who that was - she is brilliant!
Loved the 'model posing' bit.

And it must be noted that Tina Fey plagiarized Sarah Palin!
Stellar
(5,644 posts)4. I thought Tina mimicked Sarah Palin.
Or, she plagiarized her without letting on that she was using someone else's words.

(22,877 posts)5. She did. That was a joke.

(41,861 posts)6. my thoughts exactly
Lets hope though that she doesn't have to make a career of it. If Trump is not President, she becomes a distant memory! Hopefully!

Tina Faye made a pretty good living even though McCain didn't become president, thank goodness.
