Tina Fey may not be a big H(R)C supporter after all

Fey even feels a slight bit of comedian's remorse about the ferociously funny Hillary Clinton rant she unleashed while hosting SNL in February. She says the piece started as a bit about gender politics, but turned into what many saw as a full-on Clinton endorsement due to a last-minute tweak to the ending between dress rehearsal and showtime. ''The original ending we wrote was the one Tracy Morgan used , which was 'Bitch is the new black, but black is the new president.' It was sort of conceding, 'You're getting a raw deal — but guess what, you're done.' But it felt like a negative way to go out, so we said, let's just end on 'Bitch is the new black.''' The phrase (which was suggested by Fey's makeup artist, Richard Dean) immediately entered the country's political lexicon, and Fey was crowned Hillary's No. 1 Fan — a title she wasn't ready to accept. ''It was a weird position because I wasn't comfortable, but then I felt bad, like, 'I do think she's a very smart woman. I should be fine with it.''' Not surprisingly, Fey now declines to reveal which candidate she supports. ''I think all of the remaining candidates are intelligent people who truly want to serve our country and...well, I'll keep my mouth shut.'' She pauses. ''I was going to say, 'and who wouldn't rather just be commissioner of baseball.' Once again, why can't I keep my mouth shut?''

2. But after her sketch, she got the reputation of being Hillary's #1 fan
around here as well. There were a lot of "SNL is dead to me now" threads or "Saturday Night Dead" threads or "We love Tina beause she's one of us" threads. READ the article. I was merely referring to it. There's NO NEED TO SPEAK IN ALL CAPS. I know it's a comedy show.

3. I have. Most of them are not very funny.
I do like "30 Rock," though, and I do like that cover.
