Tina Fey Voted AP Entertainer of the Year (barf alert)

Tina Fey is the entertainer of the year? You betcha.

Fey was voted The Associated Press' Entertainer of the Year, an annual honor chosen by newspaper editors and broadcast producers across the country. Fey was selected by AP members as the performer who had the greatest impact on culture and entertainment in 2008.

The 38-year-old comedian bested runner-up Robert Downey Jr., whose comeback was capped with the blockbuster smash "Iron Man," and the third-place vote-getter, Heath Ledger, who posthumously wowed audiences as the Joker in "The Dark Knight."

But it was Fey who most impressed voters largely with her indelible impression of Gov. Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live." Her cameos on her old show (where she had been a head writer until 2006) helped drive the show to record ratings and eventually drew an appearance from Palin herself.

Talk about a one-trick pony getting an "entertainer of the year" award. But of course, it's AP, which Rush now refers to as APObama.

Now Fey better learn how to do Michelle if she wants to stay in show biz. Well, even that won't help as Michelle has all the personality of Rosalynn Carter on Nyquil.

She wasn’t even that good. Can the obamedia ever put their politics aside. Their hatred is all they have. How do you not pick the Joker?

“30 Rock” is hilarious. Quick, subtle lines, cultural references, just very smart writing.

ditto “The Office”

Prove me wrong, Philistines!

Hah! You can’t.

I think 30 Rock is pretty good too. Good writing and good acting. Great cast.
