Did McCain just get punk'd or is the Ashley Todd effect contagious?

This great find in Wonkette is only 16 seconds long and is worth a dozen looks. Its been a few threads already.

Wonkette thinks its a hobo cat lady

Some hobo cat lady must have forgotten her meds this morning and, as a result, thought that she was Sarah Palin and needed to show up beside her “running mate,” John McCain, at an Iowa rally. Because here she is, behind and to the right of John McCain, acknowledging the cheers as Walnuts says nice things about Palin. Or maybe John McCain has started keeping a (very bad) Sarah Palin lookalike with him at all times, so as to draw crowds?

What do you think

1. lordy I hope The Daily Show picks this one up

[NYC_SKP]

2. All three, grantcart, all three.

But I'll try to narrow it down to the one I feel most strongly about.... hmmmm...

[grantcart]

3. She's either completely nuts or a great great prankster

[NYC_SKP]

10. My final answer: McCain attracts hobo cat ladies.

By far the funniest line.

Truth seems to be that he can't afford to screen attendees too carefully if he wants to have any show at all, and this is the result.

4. That is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen

:scared:

5. I wonder what the Secret Service thinks of it lol

[vaberella]

6. I figured they paid her.

Because there was no way she got on stage by saying she was Palin.

[Kaleko]

7. I think that's just a star-struck copycat.

Fans imitate their idols.

[grantcart]

9. she's not just copying, she is role playing

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. Weirdest. Campaign. Ever.

Fake sarah Palin. I'm speechless.

[TragedyandHope]

11. I saw her back there during a news clip

and wondered what kind of obsessive fan would attend a rally as a Palin look-a-like, but I missed this part where she was playing the role and welcoming the applause. Thanks for pointing this one out.

McCain really draws the nutcases.

12. Not an option in your poll: McCain brings out ALL crazies.

Period.

If America is overpopulated with crazies, we may have a small problem on election day.

13. punk'd

[frickaline]

14. yow ... where is the Single White Female option?

Looks like a stalker to me.

[pirate_satellite]

15. Maybe he should ask her to join the ticket

Couldn't fare any worse, and he's probably vetted her as much as he did Palin.

[nc4bo]

16. Good Lord, that's one of the weirdest things I've ever seen....

She even pointed to herself LOL!

:crazy: :silly: :wtf:

[Marrah_G]

17. Whoa- that was creepy.

[ihavenobias]

[grantcart]

[Essene]
