So who ends up in the woodchipper?

Gov. Palin is a bit like Marge Gunderson, doncha know?

Much of Palin's appeal and much of why she apparently grates on others is her accent, colloquialisms, grammar, seeming simplicity, and mannerisms—which are a lot like the wily, sing-songy voiced hero of Fargo,  Marge Gunderson. In her methodical, seemingly plodding way, the pregnant Marge systematically figures out the complex criminal labyrinth, and then in courageous fashion wades into the thicket unaware perhaps of the danger from the supposedly more clever involved, but confident that what has worked for her in the past and gotten her this far will see her through just fine as usual.

It's a good comparison, but if I remember right the now-classic Fargo lost the Best Picture Oscar to the once lyrical but now forgettable The English Patient. 

On a slightly related note: A lot of people say "imminent" domain, Allah.  It's called an accent, and it's nothing to get all Eeyore about.
