As she should!
Not only was it HIGHlarious, but it was a smart and extremely well-executed impersonation that landed right at the right time!
Despite impersonations being a staple of comedy and jokes, people had been pretty up in arms over it, saying that it was detrimental to McCain‘s bid for the Presidency and that it was purely for the ratings. Also that it, ridiculously we might add, confused Fey for the real thing with some people.
Really?!
Here’s how Fey responds in her new book, Bossypants:
“Some may argue that exploiting Governor Palin and her family helped bring attention to my low-rated TV show. I am proud to say you are wrong. My TV show still enjoys very low ratings. In fact, I think the Palin stuff may have hurt the TV show. Let’s face it, between Alec Baldwin and me there is a certain fifty percent of the population who think we are pinko Commie monsters.”
LOLz!
Despite appearing on SNL alongside her, Palin has never been a fan of the impersonation. We mean, who COULD be a fan of that?? You’d have to have a pretty good sense of humor or something!
Tina, just keep doing what you do. You’re one of the funniest women alive, and we support how you handle yourself and your humor!
How do U feel about Fey’s impersonation??
