If Sarah Palin wins, Tina Fey is 'leaving Earth!'

Need a good reason (another one, I mean) not to vote for Sen. John McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin?

How about to save Tina Fey 's life?

"If she wins, I’m done," Fey tells TV Guide. "I can’t do that for four years. And by ‘I’m done,’ I mean I’m leaving Earth."

But that will not keep her from continuing to spoof the former beauty queen right up to election day. And with good reason. The New York Post notes that political impersonations can actually do in a politician.

"Presidential impersonators do influence elections, and in this one, Tina Fey is well on her way to ruining Sarah Palin's political career," said Jerald Podair, a professor of American Studies at Lawrence University.

"Election time is always good for ['SNL'], and this is a bonkers election,” Fey tells TV Guide in the upcoming issue with "30 Rock's" Alec Baldwin on the cover. And that lady is a media star. She is a fascinating person, she’s very likable. She’s fun to play, and the two bits with Amy [Poehler], that was super fun."

So a few more weeks is doable. But having to be Palin for the next four years would be a frightening full-time job.

I guess that is taking it up a notch from "leaving the country if GWB is elected!"

[PGR88]

Sounds to me like a good deal all around.

[Army Air Corps]

I’ll chip in for her ticket...one way.

"If she wins, I’m done," Fey tells TV Guide. "I can’t do that for four years. And by ‘I’m done,’ I mean I’m leaving Earth."

Hallelujah! I'm going right down to my local ACORN office and registering to vote 100 times.

Maybe we can take up a collection and provide Tina and other lefties a one-way ticket toward the outer reaches of the solar system..... since they hate it here so much let them colonize Pluto.

[Rembrandt]

Maybe I can go see ACORN and find out how I can vote 250 times for the candidate of my choice. Hey, they’ll help me vote 250 times for McCain/Palin, won’t they? s/off

Then don't do it Tina, there is no one forcing you to make fun of Palin. You can stop anytime you like.

[loungeSerf]

Great! I’ll work even harder for Palin now.

[yarddog]

Unless she can ride a broom that far I guess she will have to beg the Chinese to put her on one of their rockets.

"I can’t do that for four years. And by ‘I’m done,’ I mean I’m leaving Earth."

Countdown to Uranus joke in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

[Damifino]

Promises. Promises.

Someone is looking for work outside of SNL.

Just ignore her. Let her keep doing her pathetic job right where she is....

no spin here... no bias... move along

[CommieCutter]

Tina you’re free to leave right now! Please... you can leave and take some New Yorkers and Hollyweirdos with ya!!

[RichInOC]

Yeah, she says that...now. If McCain and Palin win, Lorne Michaels will call her in and offer her the opportunity to become rich beyond the dreams of avarice, even before the movie deal. I guarantee it. Let’s see her turn that down.

What a complete waste of skin is Tina Fey. Well, at least her last name fits:

Fey:

adjective, Etymology:

Middle English feye, from Old English fǣge; akin to Old High German feigi doomed and perhaps to Old English fāh hostile, outlawed — more at foe

Date: before 12th century

1 achiefly Scottish : fated to die : doomed b: marked by a foreboding of death or calamity

[mlocher]

“Earth to Tina, Earth to Tina...Nobody cares!”

[an amused spectator]

But that will not keep her from continuing to spoof the former beauty queen right up to election day.

Who, the former teen slut Tina Fey?
