Tina Fey admits she was a Mean Girl (Orly?)
MSN Online ^ | December 18, 2015 | Andrea Towers

If you were friends with Tina Fey in high school, you might have been part of a pack that resembled the Plastics from Mean Girls. In an interview with Net-A-Porter.Com's The EDIT, the Sisters actress revealed that she was more Regina George than Cady Heron when she was growing up.

"I was, I admit it openly," Fey said. "That was a disease that had to be conquered. It's another coping mechanism -- it's a bad coping mechanism -- but when you feel less than (in high school, everyone feels less than everyone else for different reasons), in your mind it's a way of leveling the playing field. Though of course it's not. Saying something terrible about someone else does not actually level the playing field."

Why am I not surprised? Most bullies grow up to be leftists. Her mocking of Sarah Palin was beyond the pale. Personally, I believe the real reason Tina Fey mocked Sarah Palin was because Governor Palin had the temerity to actually keep her Down's Syndrome child, instead of aborting him.

Most comedians are not nice people in real life. The profession populated by a lot of sarcastic, mean spirited jerks.

I dont even understand how she is funny. You keep seeing her mug on the cover of magazine lauding her as some comedic genius, but she seems a funny as moldy cardboard.

No doubt. Every downs kid allowed to live stands in stark rebuttal to the whole abortion meme.

All life matters. Just not to a POS liberal.

Being a bully went well with her obvious bulimia.

Created reality.

Libs are followers. they must be in the cool kids club. So you make the leader an agenda driven lib like Fey. you tell them she’s funny and cool and you are a loser unless you agree. She spouts liberalism and the flock laps it up so as to stay in the clique. Eventually their heads are hypersaturated and the transformation is complete.

all of this is gobbeldegook for power strokin'

A mean girl or a bully are both just beating down an opposition ... I'm bigger'n you and watch THIS ... I'll PROVE it.


I'm probably the most evil bastard on the planet these days because I tend to imagine immediate retribution ... some poor, crying kid, after having the snot whipped out of him ... or totally humiliated in front of all the kids in school ... takes out a gun and kills the bully or mean one on the spot

everyone stares speechlessly ...

and walks away.

I actually think she’s pretty funny when she isn’t on a liberal rant. But the attacks on Palin show she hasn’t really changed from her mean girl days.

Her real problem is recognizing truth.

Perhaps this is a start.

Still, I would have a great deal of trouble forgiving her for the damage she did to our country by mocking Palin.

You’re right. When I moved to Los Angeles and started seeing celebrities in person, I found that most of them were nice...except for the comedians. They were the most aloof, most rude.

Some bullies grow up and run for president as fake Conservatives.

Scarface is a bitch. She’s also unfunny and untalented, too.

Fey was asked to imitate Palin because she did have a lot of resemblance to Palin. Unfortunately Palin was very easy to caricature and it's the job of SNL to make fun of politicians. They did not mock Palin's keeping of her child with Down syndrome.

It would be pretty interesting to see what the correlation is between bullying in school and later political beliefs.

This is no surprise. Her shtick on SNL news was pure catty sarcasm. Again, little Liebowitz received a few Emmys a year for his Daily Show for exactly the same thing. Liberals are sheep that laugh at the bullies and behind their protective backs mock the victims. And these mean mocksters create a whole class of voters who think they are “right” because they are on the side of the bully so they’re safe, right??? The jokes are on those other losers because they are bad, right? We’re the good guys, ain’t we, Tina? You like ME, don’t you, Tina?

Alinsky was no dope.

"That was a disease that had to be conquered"...conquered? - it was only sublimated - now it produces savage, cheap-shot verbiage that passes for "comedy" aimed at humbling those whom deep inside you still consider your betters, although you can't admit it to yourself....

Funny she didn’t mention this in her best selling autobiography, either in the printed book or audiobook read by herself. Oh the checks are already cashed now.
