Sarah Palin is Alaska's answer to Suzanne Stone from "To Die For"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Die_For

.....

Suzanne Stone (Nicole Kidman) is a young, beautiful, and ruthless woman who dreams of being a world famous news anchor despite her rather limited intellect and talent. To that end, she marries Larry Maretto (Matt Dillon), because she believes his Mafia connections will keep her financially comfortable, and starts attempting to climb the network news ladder, beginning as a weather girl at a local cable station.

When Larry, who truly loves Suzanne, starts asking her to take time off from her career to start a family, she immediately plots to get rid of him. To this end, she begins a high school project called "Teens Speak Out," and during a dancing project at her house while Larry is away, she seduces a student, Jimmy Emmett (Joaquin Phoenix), and strong-arms him and his friends into killing Larry. Jimmy is reluctant at first, but complies when Suzanne threatens to leave him if he does not. With his best friends, Russell Heines (Casey Affleck) and Lydia Mertz (Alison Folland), Jimmy ultimately commits the murder...more at link.

3. I think of her more as Jethro Clampet.
She even has the same stupid look on her face.

4. You nailed it . . .
Suzanne Stone: "You know Mr. Gorbachev, the guy that ran Russia for so long? I am a firm believer that he would still be in power today if he had had that ugly purple thing taken off his head."
- - - -
Suzanne Stone: "It's nice to live in a country where life, liberty... and all the rest of it still stand for something."

It's one of my favorite movies - I love the ending with her sister-in-law ice skating.
