It's uncanny. Though I'm not a big fan of BSG (the new one), I have to admit I'll never be able to look at Colonel Tigh the same way.

Look at that picture. Look at it! Granted Mrs. Tigh is dead, and the Apollo-McCain Jr. comparison is a bit forced, but now I will forever associate Saul Tigh and Laura Roslin with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

And the similarities arenâ..t just physical either. Tigh is a war vet who was tortured by the enemy, has a loopy wife and a bad temper. Roslin was a relatively unknown governmental figure when she was unexpectedly thrust into the national spotlight.
