Palin Derangement Syndrome is already so bad that now just looking like Gov. Sarah Palin is enough to earn you vicious attacks.

It's been less than a month since Alaska governor Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain's running mate and was thrust into the national spotlight. Since then, news anchor Cindy Michaels, has been seen in a different light.

"Since the day McCain announced Sarah Palin as his running mate, I had friends and family tell me I look like her. I don't think I look like her, I think I look like me."

She says more than a dozen people have made the comparison, which she takes as a compliment.

But recently she received several comments not meant to flatter. "You're so much more interesting and nicer than Sarah Palin. We hope you don't keep that hairdo. You don't want to be tarred with that same brush. You know, she's not coming off that well."

Then a harsh voicemail was left during her newscast.

"What is this is K-mart version of Sarah Palin...what did you do, lose your little cheapo glasses?"

Get a grip people.
