Tina Fey Dusts Off Her Sarah Palin Impression On Letterman (VIDEO)

Those of you who tuned in to David Letterman's show last night got a special treat: Tina Fey doing her Sarah Palin impression for the first time since 2009.

Fey sat down with Letterman on "The Late Show" and talked briefly about the midterm elections, leading Letterman to ask Fey about her famed impression of Palin. After admitting that she didn't quite remember how to do the impression (and that she "doesn't look like her"), Fey started talking about Palin's "mama grizzlies" and slowly transformed into the former Alaskan governor.

Aside from her impression, Fey also poked fun at Fox News for referring to Palin as "Governor Palin" when she appears on the network.

"That's like calling me 'Dairy Queen Employee,'" Fey joked. "I was once, but I quit!"

Tina, you are a very attractive woman but you looked like you were afraid you were going to have a wardrobe malfunction.

Sarah Palin: Happy Veterans Day
*
As posted on Gov. Palin's Facebook Notes page:
Happy Veterans Day

On this Veterans Day, please take a moment to remember all those who served in uniform past and present. Though the words in this famous poem are about a soldier, they apply to every member of our armed services. God bless them all. May we never forget the sacrifices made to secure our liberty.

It’s the Soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us the freedom of the press.

It’s the Soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us the freedom of speech.

It’s the Soldier, not the politicians,
Who ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

It’s the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag.
- JP

Tina gets a tickle out of me, she is wonderful.  Imagine having a president who talks all cutesy?

Tina nails it every time when it comes to Palin. It must drive old Sarah nuts.

No, because she watches Tina with the sound down...

No, I think Sarah LOVES it! She's a typical politian: out to get attention and takes every bit of it she can. Positive, negative, it's all the same... bring it on, baby!

Is there anyway we can just hear from Tina Fey and never have to hear from the real Sarah Palin ever, ever again?
