Tina Fey tired of
Palin comparisons

Politico, by Caitlin McDevitt

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 1/18/2013 4:19:49 PM

Tina Fey isn´t thrilled that she´s constantly associated with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whom she famously impersonated during the 2008 presidential election. From Rolling Stone: As the late-middle-aged couple at the table next to us get up, the male half approaches, grinning: "Excuse me, aren´t you Governor Sarah Palin?" It´s so lame that Fey can barely manage a quarter of a fake smile. "Not for, like, three years now," she says, looking as if she´d like to dive under the table. The guy has his gag, though, and he´s going to run with it.

Comments:
Cry me a river and build me a bridge! She´s the one who exploited Palin to begin with. These people are so pathetic.

Exploited is hardly the word I would use. But she did gain fame off of it. She beat the dead horse one too many times as SNL does. Enjoy your paychecks and shut your pie hole.

Tina Fey the little biyatch worked very hard in the SNL skit to never appear side by side with Palin, and some people were honestly confused by her impersonation, attributing statement to Paline that were only made by Fey. Fey went out of her way to torpedo an excellent person named Palin.

I hope Fey chokes on it.

(Fey was also mean and snarky to Taylor Swift at the Golden Globes, which is like stomping on a kitten.)

Poor baby.She suffer so deeply. No thought as to the torment directed toward Sarah and her family.

Tina Fey is a Mean Girl. Not at all like Sarah Palin.

She made a lot of money with her Sarah impersonation - was barely known before that. Imagine that that schtick is not drawing laughs these days and she has no fresh material.

This PR release is just another feeble attempt to remind the public who she is. Just bring up Sarah in the conversation and you are good for another six months. She is nothing without Sarah and she knows it. Add Julienne Moore to this equation. They who revived their careers on Sarah´s back. These women know they are prostitutes for the left and feign indignation that some have caught on.

I really dislike Fey. She was mean in her satire of Governor Palin. As other posters have said, she did her best to discredit Sarah Palin, and did it with glee. I will not watch her at all. I am sure many others do the same. She made her bed, now lie in it. It´s ironic that she typecasted Govenor Palin negatively and is now suffering the negative consequences of her own doing. She is a nasty, mean woman.

She did the impersonation as recently as this past year. She may say she´s tired of it, but she will trot it out again when needed for The Party.

I personally think Tina Fey is very talented. I´m sad that her talent was used for dishonest partisan viciousness and not a higher form of comedy.

After meeting Sarah Palin, both Fey and Alec Baldwin remarked at how friendly Palin was. I think Sarah even offered to have the second Palin daughter babysit!

the reason she didn´t want to stand next to Sarah is because it would be plain to the world how truly homely she was compared to the beautiful Sarah.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

North Korea’s young leader Kim Jong-un is waiting for United States President Barack Obama to make a phone call to Pyongyang to discuss easing tensions on the Korean peninsula, according to Russia’s news agency Itar-Tass. The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Annette Funicello, the dark-haired darling of TV´s “The Mickey Mouse Club” in the 1950s who further cemented her status as a pop-culture icon in the ´60s by teaming with Frankie Avalon in a popular series of “beach” movies, died Monday. She was 70.

Chelsea Clinton has raised her profile in the last few days, which sparked the inevitable question about the former first daughter´s future: Will she ever be like Mom and Dad and run for office? Clinton, 33, essentially said "maybe" in an interview that aired Monday on NBC´s Today show. "Right now I´m grateful to live in a city, a state and a country where I strongly support my mayor, my governor, my president and my senators and my representative," said Clinton, whose father, Bill, was president from 1993-2001 and her mother, Hillary

More than 700 Special Operations veterans are urging members of Congress to back a select committee to investigate last year’s Benghazi terrorist attack, according to a letter first obtained by Fox News. The letter from the group, “Special Operations Speaks,” supports the appointment of a special committee tasked with the single mission of investigating the attack that left Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, and shut down the CIA operation in an annex of the Benghazi consulate, in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack. “Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public

The White House says Obama is going to argue that lawmakers have an

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered. Information detailing what happened before, during and
