Battlestar Galactica's Dream Ticket
I knew I wasn’t the only Battlestar Galactica nerd who thought Col. Saul Tigh was a dead ringer for Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
Now that McCain has selected Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, even nerdier BSG nerds at BURNLAB Lab Report—and I mean that in the best sense—immediately hailed her resemblance to the show’s Laura Roslin:
I have to say, it is uncanny. Best of all, it takes me back to the 1992 election, when the hip alternative dream ticket to Clinton-Gore and Bush-Quayle was not Perot-Stockdale…it was Picard-Riker (I see they’re on the ballot this year, too):
Of course, as we already know, Palin has a non-imaginary TV connection, having been a sports intern at KTUU-TV in Anchorage, Alaska. Here’s some unearthed footage:

HAHA damn. Crazy resemblence! The big difference, of course, being that Tigh (even as a cylon) is more human than John McCain, and Roslin is actually intelligent.
Senator Blutarsky commented:
Interesting find. But If I wanted to know your political bias I would have asked.
