Palin Throws The Gauntlet Down To Tina Fey
I hope Fey hears this diss by she-who-would-be-pres


"I Dressed Up as Tina Fey for Halloween" Snapped Sarah Palin

“If you're wondering what Sarah Palin thought about Tina Fey's spot-on impression of her on last night's season premiere of Saturday Night Live, Palin's only comment was that she had once dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween. Seems she's not nearly so charming without a script written by Fact Forger. Of all the remarks she might have made, the one she did make seems the most alienating.

According to CNN's Dana Bash who was on Palin's campaign plane at the time SNL aired their 34th season premiere, Palin was watching it behind a curtain, but her remark was overheard.

Maybe Palin should hang out with Fey who could teach her how to pronounce nuclear. Then again, maybe not.

Palin, who appears in photos to be pulling away from McCain's embraces (not that there's anything wrong with that), is stumping on her own, leaving the Republican presidential nominee to ponder his chances if Palin can't keep her new fanbase as more facts about her beliefs continue to emerge.

Perhaps they should bill themselves as Father Time and Mother Nutter.

There is no real Sarah Palin, there's only Tina Fey.”

63. Yes!
And Tina Fey is faking a personality for her livelihood while Sarah Palin is a fake - period. Big difference.

38. that's a scary thought. they just might invite palin to play fey.
I mean, look how many times Amy Poehler skewered Clinton and Clinton appeared on the show, though it certainly didn't help her, I still would hate for palin to appear on the show right before election. Hopefully there will be loads more damage control and my nightmare scenario won't come true.

44. But, you forget, Clinton has a sense of humor.
Something Palin lacks.

She'd never go on SNL, or if she did it'd be so obvious that she was not having any fun that it wouldn't work.

36. Agreed. Sarah Paliar lies because it's a lifetime habit.
That's why she does it with such ease and without flinching. She says that line about "thanks, but no thanks" knowing every word of it is false.

When SNL nails you, you embrace it and appear with the person playing you.

See George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, etc.

Attacking a comedian only shows you have no sense of humor and only encourages the comedian to get nastier. Sarah has just ensured Tina Fey's appearence on every SNL to November.

Then everyone would realize that she'd do just as good in that role as Sarah Palin is.

And I bet she would have done a better job on the Charlie Gibson interview.
