Is Jennifer Garner Practicing Her Sarah Palin?

That's what you might deduce from Harvey Weinstein's recent comments about the actress's role in Butter, in which she plays a fierce Midwestern butter-sculpting competitor. "[A] young sculptress played by Yara Shahidi (Imagine That) makes a run for the greasy gold," per the NYT, "and 'lo and behold [...] the Sarah Palin-ish Jennifer Garner character' is determined to thwart her." There's a "reload" metaphor in here somewhere, but it's really too early for me. [NYT]
