Tina Fey: Sarah Palin Volunteered Bristol to Babysit
Fashion.ie ^ | 10/29/08 | staff

Posted on 10/29/2008 1:31:50 PM PDT by pissant

Tina Fey says Sarah Palin offered to have 17-year-old Bristol Palin babysit Fey's three-year-old daughter Alice on filming Saturday Night Live two weeks ago. "Gov. Palin was like, 'Oh, did Alice go home? Oh, 'cause Bristol woulda' babysat.' She offered Bristol Palin to babysit Alice," Fey told Conan O'Brien Tuesday. "And it was Bristol's birthday, too," Fey said. "I was like yeah, that's exactly what 17-year-old Bristol Palin wants to do at Saturday Night Live... babysit the toddler of the lady that gooks on her mom."

Tina Fey's impressions of the Republican V.P. candidate have been a highlight of the campaign season. Check then out in our library of Sarah Palin videos (real and Tina's)!

Well Tina, if you learned anything from that night, it’s that Sarah has not only a sense of humor and humility, but is a down-to-earth, classy woman. No wonder you were perplexed.

What Fey doesn’t get is that Bristol would have gladly done the favor.

They might both look beautiful and similar on the outside, but one of them has a Christian heart and a forgiving nature, and is therefore even more beautiful on the inside.

Hey Tina, maybe if your mother was running for Vice President of the United States SNL would not seem like a big deal to you. Values Tina, values.

Tina Fey must be an amazing actress. In order for a homely nerd such as herself to imitate a beautiful, gracious woman like Sarah Palin it must take some major acting skills.

Bristol has been raised in a loving, normal home. Bristol would have babysat for Tina Fey if her mother had asked her to do so - let’s see in 16 years how Alice would respond to Mommy Dearest...

I think this is yet another demonstration to how Palin is just a regular everyday mom. We do and say things like that - translation: we help each other out.

Fey needs to pull her head out of the considerable elitist arse of hollywood cause she makes a complete fool out of herself by making fun of Palin for this.

Sarah Palin is a TRUE Christian. She is nice to those who hate her. It is easy to be nice to those that like you.
I have not quite worked that out in my own salvation as of yet.

The Bible says being kind to your enemies is like “heaping hot coals upon their head”.

She seems to think that because she’s classless and hateful, everyone else must be just as classless and hateful. She doesn’t trust classy gestures of kindness from people she has insulted because she can’t comprehend ever making such a gesture herself without an ulterior motive. She refuses to believe that a person, particularly a conservative christian, could ever truly turn the other cheek. Besides, she knows that even if she were wrong it would make her look even worse.

Doubt its true. One, Bristol is 7 months pregnant so I doubt she's doing much traveling. Two, if she was there, Bristol has shown she is an attentive, loving sister and would have been a good choice to watch Fey's daughter. Three, Bristol needs all the practice she can get!

If true, it was a very gracious offer, one that I'm sure Bristol would have been happy to do.

I don't think they comments by Fey were meant to be mean. In fact, I think Fey fell into the stereotype about teens watching kids, forgetting that Palin's family is pretty damn cool and loves kids.

Quote: “They might both look beautiful and similar on the outside. . .”

Sorry, I have to disagree over Tina Fey. She reminds me of that girl you would never talk to in high school because she was a) homely and b) bitter about it. Tina Fey is what I like to call a Hollywood push. She is a lib so Hollywood tries to push her on us as being “beautiful and intelligent.” In reality, she is dolled up with a gallon of makeup and just not real. Hollywood can push her on me as much as they want, but she really doesn’t do it for me. Another way of looking at it is this, if Tina were conservative, do you think we would be told she is “beautiful?”

I will say this much for her, however, she has looked the best she has ever looked while imitating Sarah Palin, a truly attractive woman.

I'd like to think she meant goofs on her mom and there was a misunderstanding of the comment, but whatever. It just goes to show Sarah is a tough, classy lady to take some of the abuse she's been handed and keep fighting and smiling.

Proverbs 25: 21-22-

Proverbs 25:21-22 (AMP): 21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; 22 For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord will reward you.

tina Fey is too stupid to see she got heaping coals chunked on her head.

At first reading my thought was how smarmy Fey was, after researching the etymology of smarmy from smarm through shmarmy, I realized that people such as the Feys of our world have been with us hence, the skanks.

Tina, that is what is calle "grace" out here in Flyover country. It's when a fellow human being chooses just to be nice, even to somebody who isn't always nice in return. Living on the coasts, I imagine you haven't experienced it often.

I saw the interview on Conan. Here it is

I thought Fey was shocked that someone as busy as Palin would be considerate enough to help Fey out. YMMV.

I used to love SNL. You know, back when Belushi, Akroyd, Chevy Chase, etc. were the actors. THEY were funny. It has gone very, very downhill since then.

The last time I watched it with any regularity was when...when...I read the NY Times regularly. I guess that I got sick and tired of both around the same time (>10 years ago). The NYT isn’t even fit for birdcage liner, and I think that I’d rather watch a Nazi Zombie movie http://www.amazon.com/Undead-Reich-collection-Zombie-movies/lm/15YB7A0BO2WOD than subject my eyes and ears to SNL. Still, out of some misguided sense of loyalty to the concept and the old actors (not including Chevy Chase, who is a stupid liberal scumbag), I still tuned in for the initial skit a few times a year - without seeing anything that I enjoy. Even the Tina Fay stuff is getting old, quickly.

I just want to watch it once more - when they do the skit on Obama when he finds out that he LOST.

What an ungracious barbarian Fey is.

Gov. Palin and her family, redneck yahoos that they are, have more class and poise and graciousness than Fey could imagine in her empty little head.

By the way, next to Gov. Palin, Fey is feia (pronounced, “Fey-a”, ugly in portuguese).

Things Bristol could do while at Tina's home babysitting:

1) Go through her medicine cabinet and note all the drugs she's on;

2) Find Tina's vibrator and reverse the batteries;

3) Other ideas?

Also watch the part where Fey tells about her two-year old making fun of the name “Barak Obama” and then describing the kid laughing her ass off over the middle name “Hussein”.

Fortunately for us the beauty she is 'pretending' to be on the right, doesn't match the real beauty inside and out on the left.

I PRAY that McCain/Palin win so Fey is handcuffed into playing Sarah in sketches for the next 12 years.
