Tina Fey: Downright Mean
Big Hollywood ^ | September 19, 2009 | Jason Killian Meath

Posted on 09/19/2009 11:45:39 AM PDT by EveningStar

Tina Fey recently won an Emmy for her uncanny resemblance and venomous impersonation of Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin. In accepting her award, Fey was her typical, obloquious self saying, “Mrs. Palin is an inspiration to working mothers everywhere because she bailed on her job right before Fourth of July weekend. You are living my dream. Thank you, Mrs. Palin!”

2008 marked a departure from the memorable, more cordial years of Chevy Chase as a clumsy Gerald Ford or Dana Carvey’s hilarious H.W. Bush: “wouldn’t be prudent.” Fey was downright mean.

Really good column by J.K. Meath. My favorite part is this:

Can one imagine Eddie Murphy returning to SNL to lambast Obama night after night weeks before the campaign? And NBC clearing blocks in their prime time schedule in order to promote more time to bash Barack? Of course not.

If Fey wad so mean to Palin, why is it that both McCain and Sarah went on SNL?

In late ’07, before she was well known, I pointed out that SP was a cross between Peggy Hill and Dr. Melfi. Did anyone recognize wisdom then? Maybe but probably not, judging how many wanted to boast and bask in their knowledge of Leftist hipsters.

Breitbart said on Fox yesterday that he was going to release another anti-ACORN or anti-Obama story on the website, Big Hollywood, in a few days. This, of course, is not it.

Tina Fey is proof the world that even average looking women can be considered “stars”.

“I hope it was McCain’s idea.” WHAT DO YOU THINK!

Fey’s 5 minutes of fame are about up. Maybe she’s so mean because she knows that?

Disconnected cable about five years ago (cost too much, service out in the boondocks seriously sucked, etc) but kept the old TV set around to allow the grandkids to play DVD’s when they come visit. All this time, I’ve kept thinking that we’re going to have to replace that old set someday.

Only problem is it seems every time Grandma and I get started seriously talking about running into town and getting that new flatscreen we’ve looked at for the last year, we go visit friends just in time to catch some of the current excuse for programming or read something like this story.

Tina Fey?

SNL?

I’m supposed to spend my hard-earned cash to drag some piece of electronic hardware into my home so I can inflict drivel like that on myself and my family?

I’d rather just go out in the shop and pound my thumb with a hammer.

Then go spend the price of that flatscreen on ammunition.

I hated it when Palin went on SNL. She should have told them to kiss her @ss. I hope it was McCain’s idea.

Agree 100%. In her interview with John Ziegler (Media Malpractice) she said that she didn't know most of the disgusting lowblows on SNL before she went there.

God knows Palin has no bigger fan than myself, but going on SNL was wrong. Don't feed the media beasts.

Jason Killian Meath ends his astute observation of Tiny Fey's over-praised, mean-spirited impersonation of Sarah Palin this way: "This is one backbiting impersonation that has had its 15 minutes." I agree.

Dunces like Tina Fey, comfortably ensconced in their little show-biz bubbles where everyone is a die-hard liberal know-nothing convinced they're brilliant 'artists', are willingly used by leftist political operatives to mock and, they hope, undermine the credibility and validity of any conservative politician they consider a threat.

Obviously, since her vice presidential nomination acceptance speech, the left has considered Sarah Palin a threat - and a serious threat, at that. Conversely, SNL's Tina Fey and her nasty jibes at the former Alaska governor, are hardly a treat to Sarah Palin.

SNL pimped for Carter in the 70’s, Clinton in the 90’s and Obammie the Commie in the 2000’s.

Leftists never change their goals or their means.

They don’t laugh too hard when the jokes are made about them, however. That’s when they start talking about meanness and incivility and the need for monitoring.

As stated before: Palin (per her Ziegler interview) said that she didn't knew most of the jokes before going there (probably after counseling with McCains crappy "campaign"). I guess they thought they'd "defuse" SNL by appearing there. It was a terrible decision. They should have told the MSM to go to hell.

In my opinion it worked... Palin carried herself pretty well and standing on the same stage with Fey she looked good. She wasn't afraid to face her impersonator, and she came off confident and good-humored.

You are kidding right? You don't see the benefit that going on the show had to those two candidates, regardless of Fey's act? How do you think you counter something like that and what conservative wants to erase all exposure to various demographics because of some negatives from that media source?

Your dislike for Palin is dumbing you down, you don't need people to explain this basic stuff to you about conservatives needing to be a part of the critical media so that they can present themselves, in person to that media's audiences.

Both republicans did great in their SNL appearances.

I thought only conservatives could be nasty and mean spirited. When liberals do it, it’s called “enlightened”.

It might have been funny once, but they ran it into the ground. SNL is occasionally funny, but it’s not really appealing to my (admittedly odd) sense of humor.

I wonder why you keep trying to hammer that falsehood home.

Palin’s SNL appearance was a coup for Palin, you are wrong to keep trying to spread that rewrite of history that you are making.

It is a dishonest attack on Palin and no one seems able to shake you from constantly spreading it.

Sure, but unfortunately it also gave the lib-creeps of SNL a cover to say "look it just good fun, even Sarah isn't offended". Per her own words she was isolated by the campaign from many of the MSM attacks and didn't know most of their "jokes".

IMO SNL doesn't deserve to be graced with her attendance.

What falsehood?

Have you seen her interview?
