Palin Amused by Tina Fey's Impression of Her

Palin Approves Of Fey's Impersonation
Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was left stunned by Tina Fey's impersonation of her on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE this weekend (13Sep08) - because the politician once went to a party dressed as the comedienne.

Her spokesperson Tracey Schmitt says, "She thought it was quite funny, particularly because she once dres

McCain Camp Slams Tina Fey as "Sexist"
She continued "of course, the portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial." Fey returned to SNL on Saturday, where she and Amy Poehler who played Hillary Clinton delivered a special "non-partisan message" at the opening of the show's season premiere. (Watch the sketch.) "Tonight we are crossing party lines to address the now very ugly role that sexism is playing in the c

Phelps' Midas Touch Intact
Viewers didn't seem to mind Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton - portrayed hilariously by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler - in lieu of Barak Obama (The real one!) on SNL's season premiere on Saturday.
