Supporters of Hillary Clinton: Let's contact NBC

Edited on Thu Apr-03-08 10:05 PM by NewHampshireDem

WARNING FOR THE HUMOR IMPAIRED: THIS IS A SATIRE, FOLKS!

Tina Fey must be fired!

TINA FEY: Maybe what bothers me the most is that people say that Hillary is a bitch. Let me say something about that: Yeah, she is. So am I and so is this one.

AMY POEHLER: Yeah, deal with it.

TINA FEY: You know what, bitches get stuff done. That's why Catholic schools use nuns as teachers and not priests. Those nuns are mean old clams and they sleep on cots and they're allowed to hit you. And at the end of the school year you hated those bitches but you knew the capital of Vermont. So, I'm saying it's not too late Texas and Ohio, bitch is the new black!

I suggest copying this form letter, which I copied from someplace else:

I am writing to NBC to respectfully request that Tina Fey's position with the organization be terminated, in light of her highly inappropriate comments regarding Senator and current presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.

First, I would like to berate NBC for not suspending Tina Fey. However, I do not believe that a suspension is sufficient. I believe that termination of Tina Fey is warranted.

Had Ms. Fey made her comments in a capacity as a private citizen and on her own time, one might well argue that no adverse action should be taken against her. However, her comments were made on live television with an audience probably in the dozens, so Ms. Fey was acting in her official capacity.

Moreover, I believe that NBC, as the premiere vehicle for quality television and so-so news, must ask itself a fundamental question: what does it stand for?

I believe that had the comments uttered by Ms. Fey been made by a Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or Ann Coulter, many on the left would be outraged, and would be calling for their dismissal. Well, I, for one, cannot think for myself and so must join the chorus of supposed outrage that someone might have said something I don't agree with.

I also believe that television has a morale obligation to abide by the same made up rules that someone somewhere might ask of someone.

As a former viewer of SNL (back when it was funny), and someone who has heard of 30 Rock, it pains me to now ask for her dismissal. When SNL first started, I found Chevy Chase's Weekend Update highly informative. I can recall that he would place many documents on his desk, make jokes about things up his ass, and reassure the world that Franco was still dead. And he encouraged his audience to laugh ... but not in a mean, derogatory sort of way. I mean, rememeber the fistfight after Dan Ackroyd called Jane Curtain an 'ignorant $%^&'?

Sadly, that kind of funny is gone, and seems to have been replaced by the Tina Fey of today who compares Senator Clinton to a nun , and while acting in her official capacity with NBC, makes statements that she cannot back up with fact, such as calling Amy Poehler a bitch, too. So I guess now, Ms. Fey has some kind of 'bitch-dar' and can tell who's a bitch and who isn't?

In order for NBC not to lose it's credibility, it must terminate Tina Fey and replace her with a television personality who is dedicated not to ad homien attacks, but rather, is dedicated to real fake journalism and re-educating the public--like in a camp, where we could send Tina Fey to be with Randi Rhodes.

Thank you.

What do you say? Can I count on you for the pogrom?
