Hate mail for Palin lookalike

A US TV news anchorwoman who bears a resemblance to the Republican vice presidential nominee says she has been getting "hate mail and nasty phone calls" from viewers who think she is trying to copy Sarah Palin's signature style.

Cindy Michaels from Maine-based WVII-TV has long brown hair that she sometimes wears up in a style similar to Mrs Palin's, and she also wears glasses on occasion.
