Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on SNL (Full Video - NBC)
John McCain adviser Carly Fiorina called comedian Tina Fey “sexist” and “disrespectful” Monday in response to Fey’s impression of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) on Saturday Night Live.
She (Carly) can eat a bowl of dick - but out of a uni-sex bowl (so I won’t be accused of saying something sexist).

McCain Camp: Tina Fey Is 'Sexist'
In response to Tina Fey's genius Sarah Palin impression on this weekend's Saturday Night Live (at right), McCain spokeswoman Carly Fiorina called Fey's portrayal "sexist" and "disrespectful." You know what? That's totally fair, because SNL never makes fun of any other political candidate. Oh wait…
Fiorina went on to say that "just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean that she lacks substance." Fair enough — so w
McCain advisor upset with SNL Palin attack
Leading aides to US presidential candidate John McCain have attacked the writers of comedy show Saturday Night Live for their "sexist" portrayal of the Senator's running mate Sarah Palin.
Comedienne Tina Fey, who has been compared to the Alaskan Governor, mocked Palin during a skit on Saturday's show, making the Republican Vice-President nominee appear a little stupid.
Fey also played up to Palin's one-time stint as a beauty queen, making pageant-type poses as fellow comedienne Amy Poehler - as politica
Tina Fey as Sarah Palin Leads to Talk of ‘Bimbo Doctrine’
Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on SNL quickly became viral, but while most people just took the video as amusement, others were upset. Tina Fey hyped Sarah Palin’s feminine attributes in such a way that it mocked her; she made fun of her ‘momisms’ and small town background as well as the glasses she’s become famous for.
“U. S. feminist-liberalism has come round to define one of its core beliefs: The Bimbo Doctrine,” the Financial Post says. “Any political woman who doesn’t sound and look like eit
How will ‘SNL’ fare without Amy Poehler?
This is basically just Us Weekly sensationalizing old news, but the master impersonator of such esteemed figures as Hillary Clinton, Christian Siriano, and an ADHD-addled preteen garbed exclusively in jammies will officially depart Saturday Night Live after this season. She’s still signed on for that mysterious NBC Office spinoff series, though nothing’s yet confirmed, including the accuracy of both “Office” and “spinoff.” Anyway, next year, she’ll have a baby and a
Will Tina Fey encore on 'SNL' as Sarah Palin?

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."

McCain/Palin Ticket: No Laughing Matter For Gay Community
Over the weekend, Tina Fey did a hilarious send up of Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live. And SNL hasn't been the only one poking fun at the Alaska Governor who has foreign policy experience because she can "see Russia from Alaska." But Palin's nomination and McCain's campaign aren't very funny if you are gay and lesbian.
Last week Palin was interviewed by ABC's Charlie Gibson and one of the questions Gibson asked touched on gay issues. Here was the exchange:

The Oscar-winning Streisand posted a blog on her website entitled, "McCain Doesn't Get It: Women are not that stupid," in which she blasts McCain for his VP pick Sarah Palin.
Streisand writes: "I believe John McCain chose Gov. Palin because he truly believes that women who supported Hillary [Clinton] -- an experienced, brilliant, life-long public servant--would vote for him because his Vice President has two x chromosomes.

Do you really think that she would have used that picture, out of all pictures available? I'm thinking no. I think that the couple will be getting married soon but that it will be a minute or two before they do. Sarah Palin has a lot going on and needs to get a couple
