These body guards look like they’re fresh off the Christina Aguilera tour – complete with ridiculous looking microphones.  Were people really fooled by this set up?  Perhaps.

From Calderone’s blog:

If Sarah Palin didn’t actually get to hit the streets yesterday when she met world leaders at the U.N., who was on the cover of the Daily News?

Well, it turned out to be a look-alike named  Kristy Webb, who was hired by the Daily News, along with two fake bodyguards.

The News was trying to get an idea of how New Yorkers would react to the Alaska governor, and reached a verdict: “Sorry, Sarah. New Yorkers can’t wait to meet you – but not too many of them are going to vote for you.”
