Who’s Tina Fey? I don’t watch “entertainment” on television.
It’s “jumped the shark” but NBC will keep it alive for the sake of bashing. Another reason not to watch SNL.
One trick Donkey...
Obama takes control of more than 50% of the private sector, and Tina Fey focuses on Palin.
Doesn’t say much for her intelligence. It says volumes about her ignorance.
I have to admit, “30 Rock” is hilarious, and they skewer the left as well as the right.
If she WAS gifted and a "cultural satirist", people wouldn't have to make excuses for her being a HACK.
Take Mark Twain for example.
A typical low-class lefty b!tch.
But, I’m being redundant.
They called her portrayal “iconic”.
Hardly. It was pretty much stupid, especially the part about “I can see Russia from my house”.
She never said anything close to that.

It’s the only thing Tinny has going for her.
How's that for being funny, er , mean?
I thought the Fey sketch was really lame, unfunny and badly written. And S.C. is right, Tina has reduced herself to being a garden variety Palin basher. How edgy and super hip.
They do this on purpose and they invest a lot of money into it if the need to, bringing Tina Fey back cannot be cheap.
CNN) — Chevy Chase didn’t look like Gerald Ford and didn’t sound like Gerald Ford. But in the mid-1970s, when “Saturday Night Live” first went on the air, Chase — then a writer and cast member of the show — made his impression of the president, rife with pratfalls and slapstick, the talk of the country.
He also made the president a butt of jokes, which was intentional, Chase told CNN in an interview.
“[Ford] was a sweet man, a terrific man — [we] became good friends after, but ... he just tripped over things a lot,” he said. “It’s not that I can imitate him so much that I can do a lot of physical comedy and I just made it, I just went after him. And ... obviously my leanings were Democratic and I wanted [Jimmy] Carter in and I wanted [Ford] out, and I figured look, we’re reaching millions of people every weekend, why not do it.”
Over the years, “Saturday Night Live’s” political satires have become a mainstay of the show, sometimes to startling effect.
Al Franken — now the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate from Minnesota — and his then writing partner, Tom Davis, wrote a wicked takeoff of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein’s book, “The Final Days,” which included Dan Aykroyd as a bitter Richard Nixon and John Belushi as a toadying Henry Kissinger. In the mid-’80s, a sketch starring Phil Hartman as Ronald Reagan showed the president, often lampooned as forgetful, with a razor-sharp command of the Iran-Contra situation, cutting deals in Arabic and barking orders at his staff.
More recently, Dana Carvey’s malaprop-laden impression of George H.W. Bush, Hartman’s puppy-dog Bill Clinton, Will Ferrell’s George W. Bush and Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin have embedded themselves in the culture.
Though Chase believes the show leans left, and Fey’s Palin is an attempt to hurt the Republicans, Marc Liepis, NBC Universal senior director of late night publicity, had no comment.
CNN: You mean to tell me in the back of your mind you were thinking, hey I want Carter ...
Chase: Oh, yeah.
CNN: And I’m going to make him look bad.
Chase: Oh yeah. What do you think they’re doing now, you think they’re just doing this because Sarah’s funny? No, I think that the show is very much more Democratic and liberal-oriented, that they are obviously more for Barack Obama. [In the ‘70s], out of the Nixon era, and it was not unlikely that I might go that direction.
CNN: I talked to one political pundit who said, I think Chevy Chase cost Ford the presidency.
Chase: When you have that kind of a venue and power where you can reach so many millions of people and you’ve become a show that people watch, you know, you can affect a lot of people, and humor does it beautifully, because humor is perspective and has a way of making judgment calls. ... So I think there was no question that it had major effect and in fact, in speaking with his family and then later him, and even reading some of his books ... he felt so, too.
She’s getting pretty old and haggard looking too. Like five miles of bad road.
She never was much of a looker anyway.
If each of the tea partiers vote against the RATS and gets one other person to do likewise, the RATS will be an extinct communist party., An ECP if you will.
