Comedian Tina Fey's famous impersonation of Sarah Palin left many thinking the 2008 vice-presidential candidate really said: "I can see Russia from my house."
Now even Fox News, which employs Mrs Palin, has been fooled by the lookalike Fey, accidentally displaying her picture during a story about the former Alaska governor.
The story on the America's News Headquarters program was promoting an interview with Mrs Palin, in which she said she was "50-50" about running for president next year.
The Fox News segment, posted on YouTube, mistakenly displayed a photograph of Fey standing at a lectern, taken from one of her 2008 Saturday Night Live sketches.
During the presidential campaign, Fey regularly impersonated Mrs Palin on the comedy show, including one skit in which the comedian said: "I can see Russia from my house."
The now notorious line made fun of Mrs Palin, who previously said: "They're our next door neighbours and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."

You betcha.
 
First DS9 and now Tina Fey. These news orgs need to improve their Google Fu.
