Meet the Haters Tina Fey Told Off
Those anonymous internet critics Tina Fey told to "suck it" in her Golden Globe acceptance speech tonight are actual posters on the LA Times' Envelope awards site. And mean!
Some points of clarification, though. Two of the three commenters Fey called out in her speech (video above) are the same person — "dianefan" used to be "cougar-letter." And the third, "BabsonLacrosse," totally got caught in the crossfire.
Dianefan has been kind of a d-bag, as Fey would put it. Since at least September, when she was slamming the choice of Fey to play Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live:
I think there are lots of choices other than Tina... Megan Mullally, Sarah Silverman, Teri Hatcher, Shannon Doherty... Not everyone has to think that Tina Fey is the be all and end all... I simply think all of those actresses have some spunk in them that could work.
Dianefan was more vicious Oct. 23 2008, as cougar-letter (see quotes in later posts), on the idea of Fey hosting the Oscars:
Tina Fey would be a dreadful host. puke.gif That Sarah Palin bit is getting very old.
Gotta love the animated puking graphic! Dianefan has been big on those.
Nov. 20 2008, in the official 30 Rock Season 3 thread:
Tina Fey was simply like the pimple on my face - just theresleepy.gif .... I think that the key issue here is the fact that when Tina is at her best, she's just not that great.
Dec. 14 2008, after the Golden Globe nominations were announced:
I just hope they give the win to anyone but Tina Fey. Boy I can't wait until Edie Falco comes back on the scene just to wipe that smug look off Tina's face.
Dec. 16, after Fey failed to garner a nod from the vaunted "Golden Satellite Awards:"
These wins are sooooo inspiring. I'm so stoked that Tina Fey didn't win.049.gif
Jan. 10, day before the awards:
This Tina Fey love fest is a bloody joke at this point. I am rooting for anyone else in that category.
Well, that didn't work.
But at least she got a shout-out! Maybe that will make Dianefan a bit less of b? Hahahaha no. From tonight:
I'm famous. She mentioned BabsonLacrosse too. Sorry Tina Fey but I still don't think you deserved to win.
BabsonLacrosse (now "KateWinsGG") has not posted much on Fey. She seems to kind of adore her, though:
Dec. 14 , in reaction to the Golden Globe nominations:
Tina Fey and Christina Applegate are the 2 best comedic actresses on TV right now. To suggest they got in due to the Palin impersonation or breast cancer is absurd.
What got Fey was probably this slightly bitchy comment, in agreement with the dreaded dianefan, Jan. 10:
Fey if she wins might as well start thanking Sarah Palin because while I like Fey on 30 Rock, she's certainly won enough for it as of now.
And now, BabsonLacrosse, YA BURNT.
In the most flattering way, of course. It's a long way up from anonymous Web board haunt to televised-awards-speech diss fodder. And that may have been the idea. In addition to being clever and funny, Fey's faux-rant had the effect of bringing Fey and her show down to Earth, closer to its intended audience. Jack Donaghy would never endorse such a move, but then Jack Donaghy and his real-life ilk have never seen first-hand the free publicity that comes from being a YouTube darling. Fey has.
Why are they “Haters” just because they don’t like Tina Fey? From her caustic remarks, it appears SHE is the Hater!
The big slide of SNL began when Tina Fey became head writer.
Like Frankenfraud, she’s just not funny.
One can almost count on getting an entertainment award if they make a movie sympathetic to gays or any other pet lib special interest or make fun of Bush, Republicans, Christians, conservatives or Sarah Palin.
She can dish it out but can’t take it.
When the shoe is on the other foot, it hurts!
I don’t watch SNL either. It’s hurtful to others & not funny...but each to his own.
Shouldn’t this really be in the W G A F category?

You’re absolutely right. That’s when I stopped watching it. I also didn’t know who the hell Tina Fey was at the time, either. I just knew it wasn’t funny or clever any more.
Compare Tina to some of the SNL female greats, Jane Curtin, Gilda, Lily Tomlin.
Tina’s a bit player!!
I felt the same way when Al Frankin was writing for the show
That’s funny!
“Like Frankenfraud, she’s just not funny.”
I agree, but people are tripping over themselves these days to overpraise frauds like Fey and Obama. The gulf between reality and sham will become glaring at some point, and their stock will nosedive.
It must be terrible to be so rich and so famous . . . and so insecure.
Of the libtards, by the libtards and for the libtards.
It's never been about talent. It's about who is the biggest, uber-socialist, propaganda spreader.
If only the show concentrated on comedy and not political advocacy.
I guess I must be totally ignorant in contemporary entertainers, but i failed to see what the big deal was about Fey. I saw the clips and they were kind of funny in the beginning, but I didn’t see the later ones on Palin, Palin laughed at the clips also in the beginning.
I think what happened to Palin is horrible.
She’s credited with writing the ‘Colonel Angus’ skit.
Tina’s big on NBC as they love all things left wing at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and hateful of anything remotely conservative.
It’s good to watch a network implode on it’s own arrogance.
