Tina Fey On Sarah Palin: "If She Wins...I'm Leaving Earth"

Tina Fey told TVGuide she'll be "done" if John McCain and Sarah Palin win the election next month.

The "SNL" veteran who has come back to play the Republican Vice Presidential candidate (and whose own show, "30 Rock," is still nowhere to be seen), said, "We're gonna take it week by week. If she wins, I'm done. I can't do that for four years. And by 'I'm done,' I mean I'm leaving Earth."

Fey also said it's a busy but exciting time for "SNL."

"Election time is always good for [SNL] and this is a bonkers election," she said. "And that lady is a media star. She is a fascinating person, she's very likeable. She's fun to play, and the two bits with Amy [Poehler], that was super fun," Fey says.

For the full story, pick up the October 20th issue of TV Guide, plus the following week's issue (October 27th) featuring TV Guide's cover story on 30 Rock's Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin.

Then Tina, LEAVE. You made a big splash with your impersonat­ion, you've racked up the accolades thanks to what Palins accomplish­ed in her life--gove­rned a state while she raises 5 kids- so please Tina, DO leave, you've added your 2 cents to the feminist agenda of trying to tear down an accomplish­ed woman because shes pro-life and her academic credential­s aren't up to your standard.

sorry but Sarah Palin is not half the woman Tina Fey is. Tina has more sense and brains in her pinky finger than is in Palins entire empty head. The fact that she's pro life doesn't have anything to do with it.

Yes but if she were pro choice she would be at least three quarters the woman Tina is.

What happens to my posts if someone is not on board with this conglomera­tion of nutbags you get blocked.

I'm sure you're insane. They never block posts based on political ideology.

It says so right in the TOS.

Yeah.

Tina Fey is prettier.

That's only your opinion.

And mine. Tina Fey IS prettier. Intelligen­ce increases a person's attractive­ness. Palin isn't attractive enough to counteract her extreme stupidity.

I am not black. I am not white. I am not Republic and am not a Democratic­. In my opinion, people who vote for McCain-Pal­in is blind (a big fool) but also unintellig­ent. They cannot think what important in their lives. US economy, health care, education, etc are very important to us so we need a best leader to take care of our country. I feel sorry for these people who care about McCain-Pai­n as their idolizatio­ns, not our country and people. Palin is an evil woman but also bad mother because she taught our people including her children and family members to be terrorists to against Obama as well as other minority groups. Palin needs to go back to the elementary school to learn what "terrorist­" mean, what "hatred" mean!

Who are you to judge if she is a bad mother or not? I am for McCain because I believe in hard work and not giving to everybody for nothing. I love my country and want to see it prosper, not become completely welfare oriented like it has been. I am not unintellig­ent. I am quite educated. My husbands entire family is for McCain, and they consist of 4 lawyers, 7 teachers, and 3 with Ph.D's. I wouldn't call that unintellig­ent. (And for the record, none of them came from money. His mother's side was very poor, but valued hard work and education, as well as his father's side who came from a farming background­.)


On the other hand, in my birth family, they are all uneducated and have spent many years on welfare. And those who are voting, are voting for NObama. What does that say about what kind of future we're moving towards.

Odhinkle - You make a great point for some reason the Obama supporters think that anyone voting for the Mccain is somehow wealthy beyond imaginatio­n.... and this just isn't the case.

Listen up we can 't keep paying, we just can't do it, tax, tax, tax, it's crushing the lower middle!!!!­!! Don't You Obama folks get it? I wasn't born with a money tree ... My father was truck driver who died at 51 unloading boxes down Port Newark, it took him 7 yrs. to get full work, he had to stand in line every morning for 7yrs. My mom a food handler in a school.

Gov. Palin wasn't born into money & there's nothing wrong with a female having a family and working this doesn't make her selfish... Does it make a man selfish? And there is nothing wrong with her and her husband wanting to keep the baby....

How dare any of you! Screaming about a womans right to choose well she picked life so you bash her for it?? How Dare You! That's why it's called a choice.... She's not saying it's a choice that all women "have to pick life" it was what her & husb. decided and thats cool we all have a choice. Don't bash her for it...

Be Proud that we live in a place like America & we accept each other.

Americans are for the most part good human beings and we live in a place where
will love all children not

I wonder if the Palin Witch will still ride her broom over to SNL??? lol. Probably not, now that she realizes Tina Fey wants to leave Planet Earth if she is elected.

The republican­s deserve this.

Now... The Real Deal This ACORN situation is a serious mess....

Mr. Obama & The Dems. Need to figure out how to clean up the mess they made...

And Mr. Obama... it's not fair to leave those workers hanging out to dry...

ACORN was funded by, pushed by & sponsored by Obama & the Dem. Party.
So now Obama and his pals need to pay for the legal council that these workers may need......

Just Reported on Cable News that Over 200,000 ACORN Voter Registrati­ons in Ohio have discrepenc­ies.

I'm with Tina. I'm leaving Earth too. There will be no point in being here if they win. Because I'm not a member of the top income bracket and the value of the dollar is in the toilet, moving to another country is not affordable­. Maybe I can hitch a ride on the next shuttle.

[Karen59]

11:57 PM on 10/15/2008

Only people who are educated and smart enough to be a member of the top income bracket are qualified to fly on the shuttle, so I guess your out of luck.

[mama mac]

12:53 AM on 10/16/2008

Since when does education or intelligen­ce equate to a high income? I don't know why I ask you though, since clearly "your" in possession of neither. Asinine comment.

Hey "Einstein"­,

It's "you're (you are) out of luck" not "your out of luck" - too bad you aren't educated or smart enough!
