Dec 1 2008Tina Fey: Sarah Palin impression wasn't 'mean' (Now with bonus scar story!)

1201_tina_fey_vanityfair_00.jpg

Tina Fey is standing by her Sarah Palin impressions and claims they weren't mean-spirited. In an interview with Barbara Walters, Tina defends her portrayal of the sassy Alaska governor who either captivated your heart or frightened the living piss out of of you. Hollyscoop reports:

Voted one of Barbara Walters "10 Most Fascinating People of 2008," Tina told Babs: "I never did feel that we were mean to her. We stuck to a lot of things that she herself had said, and I think there is a very strange double standard because it's a woman portraying another woman. The jokes we used to do about George W. Bush were that he was an idiot. The jokes were aggressive. No one would ever stop and say, 'Oh, that seems kind of mean.' "

"A very strange double standard because it's a woman." Oh, boy, here we go. It's 2008, Tina, not the 1970s. Men and women are completely equal now. In fact, once my secretary brings her sweet tush in here with my coffee, I'll bring you up to speed.

UPDATE: The AP is reporting Tina Fey's husband has revealed how she got her scar. Apparently, a stranger walked up to her when she was five and slashed her face while she was playing outside. Jesus Christ! Tina never wanted to talk about it for fear of exploiting the situation. Wow. And she's absolutely right, because knowing this, Tina Fey could do an impression of me where I'm a transsexual dolphin, and I'd laugh and go "That's so me! That is sooo me."

HELLO!

HELLO!

HELLO!

The Bush jokes were not the same tone. It was mean, and it helped create a perception that Palin is an idiot. You didn't see anyone making a Biden sketch with all his gaffes. You didn't see an Obama sketch with his gaffes. Since 1980, every Republican has been portrayed as an idiot in the general election, and SNL does a pretty good job at promoting that portrayal.

That's not to say that Palin isn't an idiot (I don't know her and haven't seen enough of her to say). That's just to say that the fact that Tina Fey thinks she needs to defend herself is telling.

The Hollywood left are the least tolerable people on earth. They made Palin out to be the next Hitler. They didn't know anything about her yet it didn't stop them from massacring her.

Who won the Botox contest - Today is Dec 1st....

Tina Fey just realized that her 15 minutes of fame are up and Sarah Palin is the best thing that ever happened to her pathetic career.

My guess is in a few years they'll find Tina Fey dead from suicide in her car parked outside of Palin's house.

Just go here and watch the video to find out all about Tina's friends that voted for our new Dear Leader.

Geniuses!

@7
Tina Fey must be on the longest 15-minute-streak of fame ever... What, between being the SNL head writer for a while, and her new show 30 rock that's in its 3rd season. Someone should tell her she's not famous according to some internet loser!

And Palin brought ALL of this upon herself. How someone can watch her Katie Couric interview and compare that to ANY gaffe made by ANY other politician is beyond me. The woman is a moron who has peaked politically as the governor of Alaska. How someone can actually say we need someone as dumb and politically ignorant as her in office is proof that someone is a moron.

I cannot believe that people are still actually talking about Wacko Palin.
She wouldn't even shake hands with 2 senators who were onstage with her during the campaign because they were pro choice. She is a right wing nutcase, and she is becoming as irrelevant as all of you backwoods knuckle draggers who support her. She will NEVER win the presidency, assholes, so give it up.
And, by the way? She IS an idiot as far as anything beyond Alaska goes. She is fantastic at lying and convincing people that she's all innocence and light, but she is corrupt even now at her pathetic little power level. She deserved everything she got from the press and MORE.

#4 Are you nuts? How many "I'm the decider" and "Brownie's doing a helluva job" pokes did Bush take, and rightly so? Even Kathleen Parker of the National Review finally had enough and BEGGED her to step off. Palin couldn't even come up with a coherent sentence half the time, and is the major distributor for oatmeal filler in Alaska AND the lower 48. You could brief her from here to eternity and it'd still be like helping a not-too-bright kid cram for the SATs. Mean, my ass. Someone who's woefully ill-equipped for high office and yet still has the hubris to think they can be an asset in the VP slot - or higher - deserves the wakeup call they get from SNL and elsewhere.

Ha- that stranger who slashed her face must have been from the future. Too bad it wasn't her neck.

@11 is the epitome of the media's target audience. Fool.

@4 great points. Lost of course on these trained seals.

If SNL was gonna treat candidates and presidents from each party equally, they'd do a skit that showed the White House painted Orange or Purple, with plastic over all the furniature, a bunch of toys left out on the lawn for weeks, Fried Chicken, chitlens, & watermellon being served for dinner, a Mosque being added to the White House, secret meetings with Terrorists and Anti-American activists, and Obomma meeting with all the major media news networks & outlets discussing their common aggenda....

But they'll probably just keep making fun of Bush....

Also @#9, being a head writer for SNL is hardly an accomplishment, the show has sucked for years and their delve into mainstreem politics makes in even more of a lame ass show... too bad so many people like you choose to believe their satire as actual news....just shows how pathetic you and all the other liberal sheep are in this country..

Hahahaha. Look at all the bitter conservative Republicans still living out their crushes on Palin, the tard-birthin' queen of tards. You lost big. Not just this time, but also 2 years ago. Your party has collapsed. Buh bigh.

I pray to God that the stranger comes back soon and finishes the job.

Hopefully Tina Fey's 3-year-old daughter will get slashed too. Afterward.

hahahaha. Trained seals. Sheep. Yes, you repubs are ever so independent. You vote for corrupt good ole boys whose only interest is keeping you stupid so that you won't balk when they spend not only your money, but your great great great grandchildren's on their wallstreet cronies, or how about their buddies who make millions on contracts for the fantastic war machine that we have become? Yes, you guys are brilliant, really. As long as you can keep your guns, you just keep a'votin for em.

Veggi, I don't know about you Yanks, but here in England we have a name for people who wish harm on kids! ...and we deal with these people accordingly.
You're either a Faggot or a Paedo or a Paedo Fag. Fuck you.

Why do people say palin is so hot? She is a reasonably attractive woman about to be a GRANDMOTHER!

#19 Here in America we just call 'em Republicans.

stupidisasstupiddoes:

If what you say is correct, these Republicans would be worshpping at the radio altar of one big, fat oxycontin addicted criminal.

These boneheads would fall in lockstep with every wacky conspiracy thread this guy could weave to get these sheep to tune in every single day of their bigoted lives.

IF, that is.

I rest my case.

Mega-dittos.

#19? thats not the real veggi,,,the real one is a girl, and dreams of rough every night!

shack the corn is

Fey is a white trash leftist America-hating bytch. The Marxist media had a field day with her, especially when she first came out and the polls were favorable..."oh my God, NO one can threaten the Obamanation!!"

Meh.

@16 and 17 - wow, hoping a person is murdered and harm comes to a 3 year old. People like you are what make America great.

#16 and #17 trolls, get out and get help..

Scarfaced whore.


Oh Bullshit, of course they were mean. She talked all kinds of smack about the lady on any talkshow that would have her on, and went out of her way to let the world know she hoped to never have to impersonate her again after the elections. Hell, she wouldn't even be on stage with her at the same time during the SNL skit, even when Alec effing Baldwin took the ex-candidate by the arm in an act of grace I never would have expected from the dude.

If you don't like the lady, fine, but don't sit there and lie about it like a two faced highschool bitch. Grow some balls already Fey.

Lies. She got that scar after being slapped in the face with a pierced cock.

Anyone that doesn't have any scars, obviously hasn't lived.

Anyone that doesn't have any scars, obviously hasn't lived.

Whatever. The left is so ridiculous they can't even win with dignity. The skits did make her out to be an idiot. But of course, we can not mention all the lies Mr. NO Experience told, because it is prejudice, or someone is a rednecks, or right winged. Y are we only entitled to YOUR opinion? WTFever, you wanted him, you got him, now STFU while he screws up what little good remains in this country, by raising our taxes and making more government to be in your business. It is amazing, those who cry about being oppressed vote for the liberals who want more government, therefore making them more oppressed..the Democrats are all for welfare, what the hell is more oppressive than that? Here, take this amount to live on, live here, go to the doctors we tell you to go to, don't think for yourself. And don't worry, we will take away the guns of those rednecks So only you criminals who can not live off of the welfare you are given can get them illegally and steal whatever else they want. The worst part is all of you who think his presidency will do any positive change for equality are mistaken.

what a bunch of losers today. tina fey is awesome. she is hot. she is successful and you all are not. don't be haters just because u r jealous of true talent.

#34, you take your medication today? put your glasses on and get the dictionary, look up successful.

First of all SNL is TV comedy skit show. It's not supposed to be taken as fact. We all need a good laugh now and then. It's too bad that SNL rarely provides that good laugh anymore. But to wish harm on anyone just for expressing their opinions is truly un-American. You can disagree all you want but why wish harm on another person or the children? No I don't agree with Tina Fey at all, but I think she's funny at times.
Oh and here's another opinion, the story about Fey in Vanity Fair is written by Maureen Dowd, uber idiot!!!

Looks like some folks are getting a little testy. That's a good thing, it brings out the best in creative snarky remarks.
For what it's worth, the article that accompanies the photo is available on the Vanity Fair website. It was written by Maureen Dowd - someone who knows testy. Unfortunately, for this story it’s just a typical puff piece, lacking the usual barbed sarcasm.

http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2009/01/tina_fey200901

I love tina! Read this: www.shedoesthecity.com/rock_me_tina

you people scare me. how could you say you want someone to kill another person or you want a child to be harm? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Since when has SNL cared if it was mean sprited or not. Chevy Chase was pretty mean spirited in his portrayal of Gerald Ford, and it has continued since. But it's humor. Sometimes humor is mean spirited.
Why make a fuss just because the target is a woman??

"rained seals. Sheep. Yes, you repubs are ever so independent. You vote for corrupt good ole boys whose only interest is keeping you stupid..."

Yes, of course. Never been a corrupt, crooked Democrat elected anywhere. All Democrats live life above reproach. Everyone who votes (and has voted) a straight Democrat ticket in every election he/she has been eligible to vote is simply voting for the best possible candidate. Total horse manure folks, total horse manure.

Poor losers, ungracious winners --- the party of the people has never lost an unrigged election and has never used deceitful tactics anywhere, ever.

Tina Fey rode on Amy Poehler's coattails for her entire pathetic stint on SNL. She has zero talent, and her impersonation of Palin was absolutely pathetic. Tina Fey is a wretched excuse for an American and a comedian. It's sad that Fay has so much hatred for someone she never even met or even bothered to investigate. Fey simply went along with the preprogrammed liberal aggenda set in front of her. She's a mindless sheep, and it shows in her "performances"....As far as Vanity Fair goes, that magazine isn't fit to wipe my ass with.

BTW, I hope the first innevitable terrorist attack is on NYC & LA so 90% of you fucking homo loving terrorist sympathizing marxist liberals are wiped off the face of the Earth.....hahaha!!!

#33 - too bad there's only you and that other one in the entire Republican Party. Aw, fuck it, I lost, why pretend - #33, no offense, but we all feel that you and that other one are 2 too many. The Republicans Party is for HUMANS.

"BTW, I hope the first innevitable terrorist attack is on NYC & LA so 90% of you fucking homo loving terrorist sympathizing marxist liberals are wiped off the face of the Earth.....hahaha!!!"

You here a lot of bitter Repubs saying that now, after losing big in the elections. You call yourself the true patriots, but you root for the suffering and death of innocent American civilians for the sole purpose of "vindicating" your political party. You're scum.

#44 - Liberals are not Americans, they hate America, and side with terrorists and communists. So they should be killed along with every other traitor in the US. Every liberal gov't program is in direct conflict with the Constitution and is a direct threat to the sovereinty and security of the United States, and should be dealt with accordingly. So basically, yes, all you liberal tree-hugging communist anti-American fucks deserve to DIE!!!!! Hahahahaha!!!

All Democrats are PRAYING that Palin stays popular and wins the 2012 Republican nomination for president.

Look, my mom's retard. I should know. Dad nails her in the ass so he can face her away and not listen to her. He likes to do it face-to-face with Bristol, though. It's his baby, by the way. Everybody knows that, right?

acts of random violence like that are always someone from the fuuuuuture

#33 "It is amazing, those who cry about being oppressed vote for the liberals who want more government, therefore making them more oppressed..the Democrats are all for welfare, what the hell is more oppressive than that?"

By that I assume you're talking about the banks and loan institutes that were crying to be given less government - in the form of deregulation - at the behest of Phil Gramm? Those same guys that came running back to that same government they wanted to get off their backs for a bailout? Those guys? Yeah, that sort of welfare's pretty fucking oppressive, just ask GM and Ford.

@44

i think obama only won with less than 10% of the popular vote over mccain.

i love america! AND SO CAN YOU!

oh by the way, tina fey is stupid and ugly and i heard she smells like caca!

Soon enough, all we'll remember of Palin are the Tina Fey skits.

Palin's doing the right thing, in her little world - trying frantically to stay in the national spotlight and in the top 10 stories of the media she pretends to hate (but loves, truly madly deeply). But the bottom fell out of oil prices and they're going to recover very slowly (as slowly as the economy), so her one-trick pony is dead. Sorry, Alaskans, no more windfall tax checks. In fact, it's time to cut spending (services). How do you like her now?

"i think obama only won with less than 10% of the popular vote over mccain."

52-46 is a solid margin of victory, when neither candidate is the incumbent. Popular vote landslides occur only with popular incumbents. Read, then try again, moron.

Scarfaced, moronic, unfunny, talentless cunt.

Trig:Chelsea Clinton as Palin:Tina Fey.

#5-You pathetic asshole,the religious right and it's leaders are fascist.Palin would make Hitler look like Mary Poppins if she and her fellow piles of Fundie shit ever gained the majority.

over 10 million of Obomma's votes were fraudulent. They were either people voting multiple times, dead people, animals, or automobiles, etc....it's amazing how 2 million "homeless" people voted in Ohio this year alone, and how convenient was it that the liberal Sec of State of Ohio made it impossible to check on homeless and same day voter registration.....

Stealing an election isn't winning it. When a more accurate and cheat-proof voting system is in place, you'll see a drastic shift from Dems to Republicans in the White House.

It's gonna be hilarious when all you sniveling whiney little socialists are gonna actually have to go out and get real jobs.....hopefully it's sooner than later...

P.S. What the hell was I thinking when I freed those animals....

"Stealing an election isn't winning it."

Your claims are pretty standard fictions of the bitter right. But when you say "Stealing an election isn't winning it" I know you're referring to 2000.

Tina Fey has a disgustingly smelly pussy. I know this because I went to high school with her. It got around that she was very unkept and had a pussy that smelled like a corpse stuffed with rotten fish guts. She used to fuck herself with anything she could find, cucumbers, potatoes, baseball bats, cans of baked beans, etc... because no guy would go near her. One day she lost a mayonaise jar in her stretched out gnarled pussy, and decided to stop masturbating to pictures of Gilda Radner for a while. During this time her labia, which resembled the hanging folds of slime on Jabba the Hut, actually fused together, sealing off her vagina, which by that time started to resemble the Sarlac. Tina then decided to direct her hatred for all men and women who had successfully fornicated with the opposit sex towards feminist militant liberal comedy. After landing a gig on SNL because the show sucked so bad they'd literally take anyone (see Maya Rudolph), Fey landed a gig doing weekend update with Amy Poehler. While Poehler was totally carrying the show with an occasional pre-programmed liberal activist blurb slipping out of Fey's piehole, Fey fell vastly in love with Poehler. When Fey learned that Poehler loved the Cock, Fey fell into a deep depression, and in a fit of jealous rage, tried to kill Will Arnett. When the SNL/NBC heads found out about this, they summoned Fey to a meeting, where Fey was unsuccesful in blaming the attack on George W Bush. They decided to fire Fey as she had become a nuissance, even when compared to the other miscreants she had been surrounded by. Before the NBC/SNL honcho's could shuffle Fey out the door, she donned a gas mask and unleased a temporary paralizing nerve agent into the board room, where Fey systematically took photo's and video of each executive with their faces buried in Fey's crotch, which by now resembled Freddy Krueger with a go-tee. Fey then used these photos as leverage to further her failed career, leaving the NBC/SNL corporate execs defenseless against her. More on the story of the miscreant Tina Fey later on in this broadcast.....

*crickets*

wow.. How did this thread go from tina fey to politics.. oh yeah... Palin...

There really is no "better" party, there are just the parties... ideaologies change over time... in the mid 1800's, the democrats published an article saying that blacks and whites should intermarry to create the best americans possible.. however, they credited it to the republicans so that the public opinion would turn against the republicans... However the republicans still won, and Abe Lincoln took office.

http://internetmiscellanea.blogspot.com/


Wow really? You all are STILL pissy about Obama winning? Give it up. He won. He's going to be YOUR president and will probably help you and your family in some ancillary way since *gasp* he wants to HELP Americans. ALL Americans. Even the extremist nut jobs on either side.

And Tina Fey's impression wasn't mean at all. Tina Fey is extremely famous; way more famous than any other female SNL alum. Saturday Night Live has always been spotty in terms of how funny it is but I personally think the years when she was head writer were good.

And I am deeply ashamed to live in a country where someone would wish bodily harm or death on someone whose only offense has been to do an impression of someone they don't particularly like. I don't like Sarah Palin and I believe her and her husband are horrible excuses for Americans but I don't wish them physical or mental harm or death.

Hey! It's not just bitter Republicans that have a crush on Sarah Palin! Just because I don't want her in the White House, doesn't mean that I don't want her in my bedroom!

#56 Honestly, Abe, a "more accurate and cheat-proof system"? Like Diebold's voting machines which they claim are un-tamperable-with and have been shown to be flawed time and again?
So let me gett his straight ... 1) after Diebold's CEO stated he could deliver Ohio for Bush in 2000 and then claimed he"misspoke" because the voting machine supplier is supposed to be non-partisan, and 2) after Bush's voting act which allows state's AGs to purge the voting rolls at their discretion, you're pissed that the Democrats cheated better than you did this time? Guess you can fool some of the people all of the time...

Nixon's Rat Fucker and Plumber legacy is slipping - is there any GOP tradition Dubya hasn't fucked up?

Did the daughter have our, I mean her baby??

Wow. just wow. you know, Tina did not just escape her 15 minutes of fame. She has a great show, and she was great on SNL back before anyone heard of Palin.
The Superficial is home to a lot of mean conservatives.
We are seriously resorting to making up stories about Tina's pussy in high school? come back to me when your wit is as good as Tina's (and i am not talking about her Palin impression)

And liberals do not hate America
It is sad how politics make us resort to mindless attacks, and I'm talking about politics in general, not just you conservatives reading this.

@Jane:
That's because every Republican has been an idiot.

@56:
Republicans have a lot of balls accusing the Dems of stealing an election, given how the last two ended. Bush wasn't even a president-elect in 2000; he was appointed by the Supreme Court. So much for your vote counting then. Then in 2004 the CEO of Diebold guarantees to deliver Ohio to Bush, and what a shock, after thoroughly discrediting the security of Diebold's machines, questionable practices, and fraudulent voting, Ohio did swing Bush's way. Now you know how the rest of us felt for the last 8 years, the only difference being that it was justified then.

All you left wingers please go to :

http://www.howobamagotelected.com/

'nuff said. Seems as thought many who voted for the messiah of hope and change (actually now should be referred to as Clinton II) are actually . . . . well, stupid and uninformed. But then, who would have thought that? Right?

God save us from the left wing loons who rule our great country.

Not 4 Obama,

You can pull up websites on BOTH candidates that show idiots voting for both candidates.

You've got the clueless sheep that followed Obama since they flocked to him like he's a RockStar... the media had something to do with that.

Then you've got the perceived racists and bigots that Voted for McCain who's stupid comments turned this election back into a Race issue since they didn't want a "Muslim terrorist" as president. Not to mention those that blindly followed Sarah Palin and gave her to Obama treatment of a RockStar as well.

Point is. BOTH SIDES have sheep.

to whoever wrote "white trash liberal," i ask: isn't that an oxymoron? i mean, seriously? how can white trash be elitist? hmm?

I seen this bitch in mean girls, can anyone say "painfully unfunny?"

I have always voted Republican. This year I supported the democrat..... The persn who aid that tiny feys daughter should be slashed is vicious. I would not be surpried to find out it was a republican OR a democrat....

Just so yall know, someone that evil is evil towards anyone just to be evil and if they had a things against republicans they would lie...

Hello, I love you!!
And i love all the hot cougars and sexy chicks I met on " Agelessmate. c o m " they are simply gorgeous!!

I'd so fuck her brains out....

Hmmmm.....how come not one Republican here can spell, capitalize, or punctuate correctly? Oh yes, it must have something to do with that fabulously successful No Child Left Behind thing.
BAAAAA BAAAAAAA

#33, um 'go to the doctors we tell you to'? at least you'll get to go to a doctor. republicans have a fear of socialised medicine (but not, interestingly enough, socialising the losses on the stock market...) we, here in the civilised world, (ie, the world with universal healthcare) haven't had to socialise the losses but everyone gets to go to the doctor when they are ill... and what's more... we don't have to choose between healthcare/medication or FOOD. wake up! they were never representing you.

Can anyone explain to me why Vanity Fair is relevant? It seems to target yuppies desperate to be elitist.

..."The reigning queen of comedy and hot mamacita extraordinaire Tina Fey"?!?!? What???- YUCK, NO

... Well, I mean if you're into that crooked jigsaw puzzle face look, then I guess she's hot. I for one am not- Peace Out Neggro's

Fey, Dowd and Leibowitz? Surely the trifecta from Hell.

3 c(u)nts.

Wow, there are no many sociopathetic people browsing this site. I hope you're not like this in real life.

Wow, there are so many sociopathetic people browsing this site. I hope you're not like this in real life.

It's high time for america somebody shows the meaning of the words: "BRIGHT SIGHT OF LIFE"!!
....................................................................................america needs it, folks!!

Well now we can call Tina Fey " ZORRO" for the scar on the side of her face . It looks like she went face first in in the Razor thinking she could shave her beard like her Mom.
