Tina Fey is scarily good, as always, and the lovely Queen Latifah gives a hilarious performance as befuddled moderator, Gwen Ifill, who tries desperately to make sense out of Sarah Palin's circle-talk. I haven't laughed this hard at SNL in a long time. Long live Tina Fey.

But appearances aside, how similar are these two women? Let's break it down, issue by issue, using real quotes from both Palin and Peggy:

• 
  Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?
• Sarah Palin:"In what respect?"
• Peggy Hill: "I'm not sure what this means, but I once heard that when you're stuck in an unpleasant situation, it helps to just lie back and think of England."
• 
  Why do you feel you're the most qualified candidate, in terms of foreign policy experience?
• SP:"You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."
• PH:"How would we rate me? I'd say, Face: A minus. Body: B... plus. Personality: A plus. Brains: A plus. So with my looks and my brains, and my muchos talentos, I should have an advantage over these bimbos!"
• 
  Do you ever worry that you might not be prepared for this position?
• SP:"I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day?
• PH:"I am field-tripping in an hour and I can't remember any good songs for the bus. What does that John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt do again?
• 
  Do you think humans have contributed to global warming?
• SP:""A changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I'm not one, though, who would attribute it to being man-made."
• PH: "I had no choice. You can't get anything good without chemicals. Chemicals are what keep my hair so high and brown."
• 
  Can you give me any concrete examples of your running mate's economic policies? Or concrete examples of anything, really?
• SP:“I’ll try to find you some, and I’ll bring ‘em to ya."
• PH:" I find that I am too busy being successful so I have trouble remembering all of my bright ideas."
• 
  Why do you think women should vote for you?
• SP: "I was just your average hockey mom in Alaska."
• PH:"As you can see, I do not have testicles."

Palin's life does seem to parallel that of the classic doe-eyed Disney beauty who ventures outside of her small village and fulfills her destiny to become queen. (Though, no matter what you think of her politics, it's not fair to reduce any woman to the fairy tale archetypes on display in Disney movies: the pure and pretty damsel in distress and the vain, cold-hearted villainess.) But with that said, just what would the Disney version of Sarah Palin's story look like? We scoured the Disney vault and created a vision of Sarah Palin's happily ever after rise to the White House. Clip above.

Yesterday, before Todd Palin's first national speech at a luncheon for Cindy McCain in St. Paul, Elisabeth Hasselbeck introduced Mr. Palin as the "future first Second Man." But Sarah Palin has already dubbed her husband "First Dude," which seems fitting, especially after getting to know Todd a little better via Good Morning America. He's a man's man! He can fix a boiler or a toilet or a sink! He named his daughter after his plane! Todd may be a dude, but he still has all the qualities we look for in a first lady!
