Tina Fey on Sarah Palin
Filed under: TV News > Barack Obama > Tina Fey > John McCain > Sarah Palin
Despite Tina Fey doing some very funny impersonations of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin, her true feelings on the Alaska Governor are not exactly a secret.
The star from 30 Rock did a recent interview with TV Guide and revealed exactly what she thinks of Palin.
Fey says, "Election time is always good for [SNL] and this is a bonkers election. And that lady is a media star. She is a fascinating person, she's very likeable. She's fun to play, and the two bits with Amy [Poehler], that was super fun."
As for Tina playing Palin on Saturday Night Live if John McCain wins, Fey says she'll quit.
Says Fey, "We're gonna take it week by week. If she wins, I'm done. I can't do that for four years."
And, she clarifies by adding, "And by 'I'm done,' I mean I'm leaving Earth."
Ouch!
Though we know there are a lot of people out there that feel the same way!

Re: _Alice_ – That's funny - you republicans are so big on "character" and have tried to link Obama's brother to him on many occassions - all I'm saying is she is lying in the face of the truth — she's wealthy and she thinks she can get away with it.
-
Just like quite a bit was covered up about Mccain in the military. Just like McCain's numerous affairs.
-
Just like McCain's getting his wife off of federal drug charges.
-
Just like McCain now trying to distance himself from Bush. What? Johnny, you voted WITH Bush 98% of the time.
-
Why on earth do you want to continue with more of the same????
Re: LULU~* – LULU, I'm not a republican. Stop assuming, it makes an ass out of you and…well you. Reread my post. I don't like McCain or Obama. If I had my wish, my man Ron Paul would be in the oval office. Stop assuming. Read and put your emotions aside. I can't be more clear.
Dear God, if you can hear me…please…PLEASE…let Tina Fey blast her no-talent ass into deep space. PLEASE… and if you do… I will build seven churches in your honor..
Re: LULU~* – Any comments about the earmarks, Lulu?
ABC News:
-
"Conservative Republican William Kristol wrote in The New York Times that the McCain campaign is "close to being out-and-out dysfunctional."
Re: _Alice_ – Sorry - Ron Paul? You are dumb as a rock. What do you think the chances of your candidate being elected are? You threw your vote away. Waste.
Why did mccain say a couple of weeks ago the "The fundamentals of our economy are strong" ?
Why did mccain refer to the American people as "My Fellow Prisoners"?
Flashbacks?
Bedtime?
Time for his meds?
Alzheimer's?
Insanity?
Re: Smirks – I can't find your question.
-
This site must be busy - slow upload of comments, don't think I'm seeing all responses, and my last one went before I was done — was trying to reply to several on one post, didn't work.
Re: LULU~* – What is wrong with you? YOU are a waste of MY time. Keep going though. You entertain me. You can't open your mind. You can't listen and you have zero reading comprehension skills. Have a good night LULU.
Re: _Alice_ – waiting to see if my response comes through but there is a glitch from time to time on this site, so apologize if this is duplicate?
-
You voted for Ron Paul - your vote equals zero. I'm particularly tired of people who are too inane to vote for an electable candidate - your vote scores absolutely zero. Well done, fool.
Re: _Alice_ – Alice - I simply have to read very quickly, and posts like yours just aren't very important to me. Period.
-
In the future, I will ignore you totally. You and your zero-effect voting practices.
The tina Fey bit isfunny. However, that is all the cred it deserves. See Truth According To T o m
Why does sarah shoot defenseless animals from a helicopter?
Why has sarah spoke at the AIG conventions?
Why is Todd a member of the secessionist group AIG?
Is that a promise??!! I never even heard of her until she started imitating Sarah Palin. I agree 100% with nyc_opinion. Just think of what these celebrities would be doing if they weren't celebrities- I'm surprised most of them can even read a script!
Re: LULU~* – Was wanting your thoughts on the fact that for every day that Obama was in the Senate he received almost 1 MILLION DOLLARS IN EARMARKS, whereas in John McCain's 2+ decade career, he received ZERO. Just wanted your opinion on that.
Re: LULU~* – I'm crying inside. BYE!!!!!!
Re: _Alice_ #97 – Preach on sista!
Governor Pallin managed to secure $27 million (as in 27 Woodstock museums) in earmarks for her little town of 6,700 back when she was mayor. That comes to more than $4000 per person.
Re: Smirks – Truth? In better economic times, yes re flat rate tax. And then appropriate tax breaks given to companies to better create jobs and provide health care for employees.
-
I can't find your earmark question — guessing you were commenting on Democratic earmarks? You bet. BOTH SIDES have tons of earmarks, i.e. riders.
-
My choice. No riders. Period. This "scratch my special interest, I'll scratch yours" needs to stop, now. I'd advocate that no uninvolved rider (which most are) be allowed to be attached to any bill.
-
Its misleading to the public — so-and-so voted against a bill. The public is unaware there was good reason not to vote for that bill due solely to the riders.
-
The real technicalities of politics are just not understood by the public. I simply advocate no to any rider not directly related to the bill. And I'd like to see a politician advocate this.
I'm only seeing bits and pieces of comments, and this site is freezing up.
-
Just means Californians are wide awake and posting, most likely - which is a good thing - just heavy usage.
-
But too hard to read/respond - I'm just not seeing all of the posts, nor can I tell if my posts are going through.
looks like the wacky right wings came out to play today
One last try for now:
-
Flip-Flop John is at it again:
-
ABC News: McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, have introduced a kinder, gentler campaign against Barack Obama as the Republican duo has slipped farther behind in the polls . . .
-
"The latest Washington Post/ABC News poll indicates that Obama is pulling away from McCain, establishing a 10-point lead in the race for the White House by a commanding 53 percent to 43 percent."
-
-
But, I'll note again - polls don't elect candidates. Only Voters do (that is, except for dimwits like Alice who threw her vote away . . .)
-
-
Please vote with your heart and your head - not your hatred.
Re: mariemannequin – We're out here every day.
Re: Smirks – I responded with something totally different a few minutes ago re earmarks.
-
Can you give me any source for where you got info so I can go and read what you are talking about? In the meantime, I'll google your question, hopefully find valid sources re response.
Re: Melissa is always right – LOL, thank you. I think LULU has a screw loose. But no matter, she's someone who I believe is still comatose. Can't think for herself, can't listen, and can't see things that are right in front of her face. Sad. But she's not alone. I'm just sad that she's going to ignore me now. I'm devastated. Maybe you can carry on the fight for me?
Wow. Lots of Republicans on this thread. I'm scared. I guess you thought that they've done such a GREAT job over the past 8 years. LOL. Lucky for us we don't have to worry too much about you winning. McCain babbled his way through the past 2 debates like an old man slowly losing his mind. I KNOW HOW TO DO THAT, MY FRIENDS! Maverick Maverick Maverick. I know no one in real life who's supporting McCain. Good luck with that…
alice and melissa:
How do you feel about the possible nightmare scenario of having a President Palin???
Re: Smirks –
-Re CNN:
-
"Just to put it into perspective, he got $98 million worth of earmarks in fiscal year 2008. Sen. [Hillary] Clinton got more than $300 million in earmarks, and Sen. [Thad] Cochran, Republican of the [Senate] Appropriations Committee, got $800 million in earmarks," Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense said."
-
More from same:
"According to the nonpartisan watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense, Obama has asked for nearly $1 billion in earmarks during his Senate term. But the group gives him credit for disclosing his requests, which most members of Congress don't do."
-
Smirks - at this time, McCain has refused to disclose.
-
I guess my answer is John is swaying the truth once again. I think he is very untrustworthy.
-
I'd rather a disclosed earmark than a rider on a bill.
Smirks - that second part was actually being cited in article from FactCheck.
Re: jrnpp – hahahaha Awesome!
Re: jrnpp – I don't like it. I'm NOT a republican. For fuck's sake, doesn't anyone READ on this site?
Where's Mcsame's economic policy? He's keeps changing it around! What a joke!
.
Markets are up today!

OBAMA'S IDEA'S ARE ALREADY WORKING!

MCCAIN MORE OF THE SAME!
Leave this Earth? I'll rent a gun and buy a bullet for every one of you angry libs.
I love tina, I hate sarah palin.
Re: JembaBemba – Honstly, who's NOT angry in this country today? Gas prices are sky high, the economy sucks, and there's no end in sight. The question is, how do we fix it?
Re: LULU~* – Lulu, really. McCain has asked for ZERO EARMARKS in his entire career. Obama has asked for, and received, 141 MILIION DOLLARS' WORTH of earmarks in 143 days in the Senate. Whether you like McCain or not, you at least have to acknowledge the veracity of that. It's only when we can acknowledge the truth, on either side, that we can come together.
–
So, you are arguing that because Obama DISCLOSED that he asked for almost ONE MILLION IN EARMARKS PER YEAR, that makes it okay? And McCain DIDN'T disclose? WHAT THE FUCK does he have to disclose? NOTHING. HE ASKED FOR NOTHING. Quit trying to be a spin-doctor and just be real. I respect you more when you do that.
–
Re: Smirks – No, apparently McCain's office has choosen not to disclose. That said, he does have pork belly, but the "non-disclosure" makes it harder (I'm sure liberals are looking under every rock as I write this).
-
10 MM U. of AZ, 14.3 MM Luke Airforce base, more but its not a lot. However, who's to say in the face of the non-disclosure.
-
This is from Roll Call - Capital Hill News Paper:
"Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK), a notorious porker, was overjoyed that McCain had joined his side. “One man’s pork is another man’s alternate white meat,” said Stevens. “If he asked for it, we put it in.”
-
So, McCain is looking pretty murky right now.
-
Lots of negative print about McCain's claim to eliminate 100 billion in waste:
-
From FactCheck: "Asked whether McCain had misspoke or whether he had been misunderstood in his focus on eliminating earmarks, Holtz-Eakin replied: "a bit of both." (Holtz-Eakin is McCain's Economic Advisor)

Ya well if obama wins then most doctors are gonna retire … and what do we need more an uneducated democrat or a educated doctor that says peoples lives…. obama is satan
Re: LULU~* – 129 LULU, it was Smirks quoting fact check weeks ago.
She doesn't go there anymore! Facts are plain and simple.
.
I love that you are making your stand! Keep it up!
.
:)
Re: sweetpiece – Of course I go to FactCheck — but I have a real problem with the "non-disclosure" aspect — how the hell do we know if he did or not when his office refuses to disclose?
-
Re: sweetpiece – I'm sorry !!!! The response I just wrote was not to you! I'm sorry, I'm having a really hard time with screen blinking in and out.
-
I was trying to "reply to you" but comments from other post went.
-
Thanks, I'm trying to keep the fact out there - at least as much as I can find them from reputable sources !!!
Re: LULU~* – 144 Yes, I've posted McCains earmarks as is known to her before, however she turned a deaf ear.
.
What I don't get is why Smirks and Alice are even discussing American politics in the first place. Smirks thinks America is over (real nice) and Alice is an ex patriot I believe.
Obama is a fine candidate and an extremely intelligent person who knows how to look through the mess and get things organized. We have had reckless money practices in this country for a long time now. We need new ideas, new young blood to work with the best minds out there and get things done. Interesting how the best minds out there are flocking to Obama.
.
BLUE RULES!
.
OBAMA!
Re: LULU~* – Duh. If there were anything to be found, it would have been found already. You KNOW Obama has teams of lawyers and investigators in every nook and cranny. You just can't/won't admit, that in this instance, your guy comes out looking bad. Did you know one of Obama's earmarks was 1 MILLION for the hospital where MICHELLE IS VP? Obama supporters can't admit shit. It's pathetic.
Re: sweetpiece – Okay. Quit quoting me and quit mentioning me please. You never give me a fair shake, and you don't respect my opinions. I thought we were operating on a mutual respect for one another. Apparently I was mistaken and it was only that I had respect for you and not vice versa. Nice.
–
I don't want to be mean about this at all - I just watched several tapes on YouTube of John McCain during recent interviews - he doesn't look well.
-
I'm not saying this to be mean — I'm saying this because I am concerned the man is not well. If I were his family, I would be worried about him.
1st off–I don't think Fey was bashing Palin. I think she meant she couldn't handle playing her on SNL for 4 years if she was elected..She already made a similar comment about playing her for longer if she won..2ndly, if I hear one more ignorant comment on here I'm gonna scream. Obama has done absolutely nothing as senator of Illinos. He has no track record of success. HE IS ALL TALK, just like every other politician who makes checks their asses can't cash. And quite frankly, those of you who worship this man are the people who have turned alot of undecideds to a republican vote this year. Nutcases.
Re: Smirks – 147 Try something new Smirks! All this was vetted during the Democratic ticket race. Obama is probably the most vetted candidate in history and the most open.
.
I give you a fair shake but you keep coming back with old stuff.
.
just sayin?
yup, and the rest of america will be just as fucked! hello outlawed reproduction rights, hello outlawed women's rights, hello outlawed glbt rights…

"What I don't get is why Smirks and Alice are even discussing American politics in the first place. Smirks thinks America is over (real nice)"
–
Really? That's a fair shake? Talking about me like that? Huh.

You know, that's pretty unAmerican of her to say she'll leave Earth if McCain/Palin take office. I mean, if you can't deal with whoever is in office then maybe you deserve to have your citizenship stripped. If Obama wins, I don't plan on leaving the US or even say that I'm going to. As a friend of mine put it: "If you plan on leaving the country just because of the president, then fuck you. You don't deserve living in our freedom laced country."
Arrora you uneducated republican inbred hick. Strong redneck trashy military father and weak little door mat subservient mommy who used to strip for soldiers in Vietnam,how sweet. Richard Riordan our last republican mayor in Los angeles is backing Obama, and Tina Fey is just saying she will be sickened if the geezer and the trashy speaking in tongue bitch get elected,most people outside of the kkk-south feel that way.
i'm right there with her
First of all, the remarks she made about Palin were actually quite flattering. There was nothing partisan about what she said. This a BONKERS election, probably the biggest circus act in President election history. As far as the "leave this Earth" comment, it sounded like it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
Is it cool for idiot-liberals to announce they are leaving America/Earth, for some other place if a repub wins an election? For people that are supposed to be smart, they sure are dumb.
Who cares what Hollywood thinks!?!
As a hardworking, middle-class, married, mother of two, I live in the REAL WORLD! I am voting McCain/Palin. I have a hard enough time supporting my family, let alone all of those people that Obama wants me to support. GO PALIN. SHE ROCKS!!!!!
This is surely one of those times. We haven't even begun to understand the implications and consequences of the financial crisis that has burst upon us. We still haven't come to grips with the realities of the post 9/11 world of terror, jihadism, nuclear proliferation, and an axis of dictatorships determined to resist and roll back the advances of freedom and democracy. And we have put off thinking seriously about various Brave New World-type issues that loom before us in the 21st century.
One does sense today that, as Lincoln memorably put it, "The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew."
Neither of the two men who have been nominated by their parties for president is perfect for this challenging moment. But one is far less imperfect than the other.
One is an orthodox and timid liberal, personally ambitious but intellectually conventional. For all his talk of hope and change, when has Barack Obama ever shown a willingness to break with liberal orthodoxy or Democratic dogma? What bold decision has he taken, what unpopular idea has he embraced? The odd truth about Obama is that, for all his unsavory radical associations–and they are unsavory and a legitimate issue in the campaign–he's not radical enough for the times and challenges we face.
The other candidate, John McCain, has been all over the map in terms of domestic policies, and has shown a management style during the campaign that makes one worry about the coherence and purposefulness of his administration. But he's shown strong character in his life, and he's done serious things. His general views are centrist, but he's willing to be bold when necessary. He won't be passive as president, and he'll think anew and act anew as he adjusts to the challenges we face, in the spirit of doing what's necessary to preserve and strengthen the underlying principles of American life.
Katie Couric asked each candidate recently what his favorite movie was. Obama gave an utterly conventional answer: "Oh, I think it would have to be The Godfather. One and two. Three not so much. Umm. So-so, but, but that–that saga–I love that movie."
Couric asked him to explain a bit.
Obama: I mean there's this combination of old world gentility and, you know, ritual with this savagery underneath. It's all about family. So it's a great movie. Lawrence of Arabia. Great film. One of my favorites–and then Casablanca. Who doesn't like Casablanca?
Couric: I asked for one.
Obama: I'm a movie guy. I can rattle off a bunch of movies. But that Casablanca, you know.
That's Obama. He's glib, conventional, won't make a real choice, shows nothing about himself, and says nothing offputting and says nothing impressive.
McCain's answer was in no way conventional:
Viva Zapata! It's a movie made by Elia Kazan. It was one of the trilogy of A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront and Viva Zapata! Marlon Brando stars in it. He plays Zapata. It's a heroic tale of a person who sacrificed everything for what he believed in, and there's some of the most moving scenes in that movie that I've ever seen. And one of them is he gets married–the night of his wedding night–he gets up and he and Jean Peters are in their hotel room–this little room and she says "What's the matter?" And he says, "I gotta go to Mexico City tomorrow. I've gotta be with Pancho Villa and Modero and these people." He says "I can't read." And she reaches over and takes the bible from the–table and opens it up and starts, "In the beginning." You know, it's a great scene. It's great and there's many others that are wonderful too, especially when he dies–when he gives everything for his country and what he believes in.
Which one of these two men do you want to be president in a time of crisis and difficulty? Viva McCain!
Re: LULU~* –
Don't act like you fucking care about John McCain being well. He is fine. Anyone who can withstand what he did will last forever in our society. You need to stfu once in a while. Stop acting like you have all the wisdom in the world and no one wants to read all that shit you constantly keep writing, your boring, like obama.
Re: JaneDoe – VERY nice post!
That would be a dream come true.
We choose our own friends and associates. And this is significant in Obama's case in particular as we are trying to get a sense of who he is and what informs him. Obama is asking the nation to honor him with its highest office. Yet, during most of his adulthood, he has befriended some of the worst kind of people — many of whom detest the nation Obama seeks to lead. And when combined with Obama's own extremism on issue after issue (is there a left-wing position he does not embrace?), there can be no doubt that an Obama administration working with a Democrat majority in Congress will fundamentally alter the nation's character in ways that will be very difficult to unravel.
From the WSJ today
-
The Obama campaign is now distancing itself from Acorn, claiming Mr. Obama never organized with it and has nothing to do with illegal voter registration. Yet it's disingenuous to channel cash into an operation with a history of fraud and then claim you're shocked to discover reports of fraud. As with Rev. Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers, Mr. Obama was happy to associate with Acorn when it suited his purposes. But now that he's on the brink of the Presidency, he wants to disavow his ties.
Barack wants your daughters
-
Even as the U.S. confronts two long wars, neither Sen. John McCain nor Sen. Barack Obama believes the country should take the politically perilous step of reviving the military draft.
-
But the two presidential candidates disagree on a key foundation of any future draft: Mr. Obama supports a requirement for both men and women to register with the Selective Service, while Mr. McCain doesn't think women should have to register.
Re: LULU~* – so how come obama's birth certificate is sealed? how come obama was traveling to countries that americans werent allowed into at the time? sounds like there may be some covering up on osama's side too
Re: sweetpiece – all this shit didn't come out b/c the clintons decided not to deal the knock out punch…..why risk exposing your dark underbelly when the real prize is 2012……by then it'll be barack whobama??

or not…….who knows, either way i won't be moving, although i do look forward to more travel
Republican logic:
Obama = celebrity

actors endorsing Obama = who cares
never was country singers endorsing McShame = hee haw
got it, thanks.
That is SO cool so many people feel the same (will leave earth if she wins). I hope she wins, the earth needs to unload a lot of worthless baggage.
