[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

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.

[Corporate Law]

Unfunny witch (or at least rhymes with it).

[TurtleUp]

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

[mysterio]

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.

At the end of the text.

This is one back biting impersonation that has had it's 15 minutes.

Agreed. My sparse history of reading about King Arthur and his knights, kept ringing a distant bell. For the sorceress portrayed in "Le Morte D'Arthur" is a leading character. She was one Morgan Le Fey. Sometimes spelt as Fay. She was a seductress and had powers given her. The word "Fey" in the old english language has meanings that vary, but agree in that it means some higher power of being able to foresee things. With witchery thrown in.

I checked on "Tina" and it is a short version of something like Stamatina. Yes, I cringed when I heard of the Governor going on SNL. I did not watch, since I have a habit of expletives that disturb my liberal spouse, when she has on the T/V.

Sarah Palin is still our Sarah.

Her show was funny at first, but now it's gotten to be downright unwatchable, at least for me. The Tracey Morgan and Alec Baldwin (whatever you think of the guy) storylines aren't so awful, but Fey's are annoying.

When the series started Tina's self-deprecatory take on her character, Liz Lemon, was refreshing, but Liz is now such a nebbish or shrew that it's hard to tolerate her anymore.

And the rest of the characters -- Jenna, Pete, Kenneth, Frank -- are also uninteresting or repellent. Compare Thirty Rock to Mary Tyler Moore thirty years ago and you can see the decline: the pace is faster but the characters are a lot less interesting.

The last good thing on the show was when Liz went to her high school reunion remembering how the other students tormented her and realize that she'd been the one tormenting them. Since then, I haven't found much reason to watch the show.

Tina's career has had a similar downward trajectory. She was quite funny and not bad-looking for SNL, but nowhere near attractive enough to be on all those magazine covers.

In the same way, Tina isn't as funny or as bright as she came to believe she is. She ate up all the hype and thought it was real and that led her to move too far from her actual strengths.

I'm old enough to remember the glory years of SNL. In those days it was a really funny show. It was political in the sense that they made fun of both parties.

SNL hasn't been very funny for a very long time. It's time to pull the plug on this show. I'll admit to watching once in while to see if things might have improved. OK once in a while there's a funny sketch but overall it just isn't funny.

And Tina Fey is the least funny of a very mediocre cast. I don't understand her popularity. Maybe younger audiences like her because there isn't a lot of talent out there these days and she might appear to be funny by comparison. I can't stand the smirk on her face. I can't stand people who are not funny but think that they are and she fits the bill.

2008 marked a departure from the memorable, more cordial years of Chevy Chase as a clumsy Gerald Ford ...

I guess, but if those days were more cordial it wasn't because of Chevy, but because entertainers couldn't get away with what they can today.

Chase certainly did his bit to sink Ford, and he was never in the running for any humanitarian awards.

Satire is a sometimes potent weapon, it is one of the few available to the powerless against the powerful. If a politician is able to be satirized they can be destroyed. Sarah Palin is perhaps one of the more striking examples of this. The Republicans should hire better writers for Obama is furiously providing material and they are not availing themselves of it. This should be a two way street, the only thing lacking is the media for the message. A Conservative leaning comedy show would be very effective, there are many Conservative comedians who would, I bet, gather like flies if provided a format. As long as they do not state that it is a political show but simply a comedy show they could pull it off. Someone with power, money and connections must be ticked off enough at Obama to foot the bill for this.

[Political Junkie Too]

I wonder if "Hollywood Liberals" like Tina Fey really understood what they were getting with Obama, or was it just a knee-jerk reaction to all things Republican?

[smokingfrog]

Dana Carvey is funny.

Chevy Chase is a doofus.

Tina Fey is a nasty *****.

[EDINVA]

The meanest SNL impersonations ever were of Linda Tripp. Even beat out Fey.

[yongin]

Tine Fey mean? Like that’s news.

When Fey did the SNL news, she would often make snide remarks about people in her news stories.

[pray4liberty]

Sarah Palin made that girl more famous than she would have been otherwise. This is how Tina shows her gratitude. I could say more, but my thoughts are unprintable.

[Brimack34]

She is like Sarah (Not)-Fey is U.G.L.Y you aint got no alibi you’s ugly.
