Tina Fey 'leaving Earth' if Sarah Palin wins
Speaking of SNL, alumna Tina Fey may be bringing the house down with her Sarah Palin impersonation, but that doesn't mean she wants to keep playing her if the governor becomes vice president. Big surprise, that.
"We're gonna take it week by week. If she wins, I'm done," Fey tells TV Guide. "I can't do that for four years. And by 'I'm done,' I mean I'm leaving Earth."
Now, before some of you freak out and say tbt* is too liberal and whatnot, we have to commend Fey for toning down her comments by actually giving Palin a (gasp) compliment.
"Election time is always good for (SNL,) and this is a bonkers election," Fey said. "And that lady is a media star. She is a fascinating person. She's very likable. She's fun to play, and the two bits with Amy (Poehler) — that was super fun."
What a ringing endorsement! And now that John McCain has agreed to return to David Letterman's show on Thursday, all is right with the world. Isn't it?

Hey Pete - They've got this new invention to help you with your eyesite....they're called eye glasses. Go buy some if you think that there is any difference in the 'look' of Palin/Fey. At least Fey is smart, can formulate an intelligent sentence and is talented. Palin of course can kill animals with a gun and make every English teacher cringe - you betcha.

I never did think Tina Fey was that good at acting, but some of the Sarah Palin skits have been funny, even Sarah Palin thinks they're funny.

Maybe talentless Tina Fey can get a REAL job on another planet. Good luck Tina in your new digs.

Tina Fey thinks she's hot for doing these impersonizations but in actuality, Sarah Palin is 10 times better looking than Tina Fey. More natural beauty. Go McCain/Palin!

Anotber reason to vote McCain/Palin.

I won't be able to afford the trup to space, but I'm thinking along the lines of punctured eardrums for sure should Palin win. I know they'll bleed soon enough anyway.
If McCain wins he should have someone to test his food for poison.

Tina, Don't let the door hit you in the backside on the way out and do us all a favor and take the rest of the cast with you. Then maybe SNL will develope a show that is watchable again.
