Tina Fey Mocks Charge That Palin Skit Was Sexist

I would never be so presumptuous as to put words in the mouth of Tina Fey - after all, the words that come out win clutches of Emmys! But if this isn't specifically a response to McCain flack Carly Fiorina, and her glitteringly inane contention that Fey's imitation of Sarah Palin was "sexist"...well, let's just say that I prefer to think that it is. And that's enough.

[WATCH.]

BILLY BUSH: The McCain campaign...I guess they thought it sexist? They responded...kind of the whole thing was...

TINA FEY: I saw one lady trying to form a thought that it was sexist on the news, but she didn't really get it together. Probably because she was a lady and she was dumb. [pause] Wait. Is that sexist?

I loved this and have long said they picked the worng Palin!

Oh my god. Laughed my butt off.

I always liked Rich Little's impression of Nixon. Tina Fey's impression of Palin is even better.

It was John McCain who said, "You gotta have a sense of humor"

They don't like it when people poke fun at little Sarah, after all she can't speak for herself.

Let's see you turn THAT one into a sexist charge, Carly....a pretty, smart lady just called you a dumb wench.

[wheatsavage]

Tina is the best to come along in a long while - witty, sexy AND brilliant.

[Yermammy]

Absolutely better than Palin in every single way. A real step down to imitate her (moosejaw mary that is).

Let me guess. That woman was Rebecca Walker, the great HuffPo blogger.

[billkarwin]

If anyone, it was Carly Fiorina that Tina Fey was mocking. Fiorina directly claimed that the Tina Fey's Palin/Clinton sketch was sexist because it criticized Palin (a woman) for having different views from Clinton (another woman). Yes! She claimed that was sexist! Unbelievable!

[clearthinker2008]

It was Carly Fiorina, she had just dropped sexiest into a conversation sometime like "So Carly do you know what time it is?"Fiorina "it's 5 oclock...s­exist....a­nd I only have a couple of minutes before I go .....sexis­t.......sp­end some of my HP millions..­.....sexis­t.....then I have to get over to John McCain camp for my new talking...­...sexist.­......poin­ts."

Can't see the video outside the U.S. apparently. Thanks for the transcript. :)

Yes, humor is perhaps the best why to deal with the whole Palin business.

There's one talented woman with a great sense of humor.

[seatea1967]

I never realized that, without her glasses, Tina Fey looks a lot like a young Ally Sheedy.

[whizkid]

Nearly all of the articles and comments are about McCain or Palin.
Joe Biden has to feel like the lost sister.

[bartonfink]

non-sequiter much, whizo? but seriously, biden is a sleeper. polls show that none of the other three candidates rates as hightly in terms of presidential readiness. he's the ace up the sleeve

[TurnThePageGA]

Spot on.He has experience and temperment.

[EvoMan]

I see you haven't tired of having your arse handed to you by thinking members of this forum.

[buddhistMonkey]

Palin is the politician that America turns to for entertainment. Biden is the politician that America turns to for a vice president.

[TurtleGuy]

That's because he's just a regular pretty much middle class guy. Pretty boring in political terms, so the press really can't write bad things about him, he hasn't said made comments. He's just letting McCain/Palin hang themselves with their own words. I'd do the same thing if I were him. Then let 'em have it at the debate.

[Yermammy]

Sad to have such a promising moniker...

[BertrandRussell]

I don't about Tina Fey being sexist but I do know she is sexy... or is saying that sexist?

[Tommygun264]

Tina Fey is pretty darn smart...fo­r a girl.

Make this viral!

It is an awesome to hear what women (both Independents and Republicans) really think about her!

Not everyone is buying the Caribou Barbie act.
