feybackstage.jpgTina Fey’s hit comedy series “30 Rock” may have picked up 4 Emmys, but backstage at the TV awards show the show’s creator and star faced almost as many questions about her recent portrayal of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin on “Saturday Night Live” as she did about her award-winning show.

As it turns out, Fey would rather not see Palin become a regular character on “SNL.”

“I want to be done playing this lady November 5th,” Fey said when asked backstage about how she feels about the election. “So, if anyone can help me be done playing her on November 5th…”

The U.S. presidential election is November 4th.

Fey added that Palin “seems like a perfectly nice lady,” but that she had been reluctant at first to admit that they look alike.

“I was very resistant to acknowledge that there was a resemblance,” Fey said. “Then my kid saw Sarah Palin on TV and said ‘That’s Mommy.’”

As for “30 Rock,” Fey said co-star Alec Baldwin had told her that her award for best actress in a comedy series meant she could now “stop apologizing for being an actor and being on the show.”

Finally, Fey asked enlisted reporters’ help in finding her purse, which disappeared after she left it under her seat in L.A.’s Nokia theater.

“If anyone sees a small purple purse with an iPhone in it with a picture of a naked toddler,” she said.

Tina Fey is a lozer who is not funny nor is she smart!
She is politically INCORRECT!!! She makes fun of the wrong people who are trying to help her.
Why does she hang out with that wife beater who was married to Kim?
Get lost Tina and stay there! We want nothing to do with you!

“You see us conservatives aren’t hypocrites like you liberals.”

OMG. That is the most hypocritical thing I’ve ever seen written. A movement that values the sacredness of human life yet supports unmerited wars and the death penalty and not health care? I guess human life is only sacred when it is in utero. Once it’s out in the world, yer on yer own, honey.

And a scary irony here…my security word for this post was “life”!

GO TINA! Oh yeah, and as for the quote, “Ms. Fey, like all Obama supporters, are ignorant” I think it should read read, “Ms. Fey, like all Obama supporters, is ignorant.”

Tina Fey should be happy she has been asked to portray Sarah Palin on SNL and stop whining about our next VP. She belongs with Alec Baldwin, and why isn’t he in France?

Well it seems like all of the LEft-Wingers and Liberals are terrrified of Sarah PAlin.

First, Sarah Palin was not part of the Alaskan Independence PArty. IF you got it off the Daily Kos then you are a idiot. Claiming that Trig PAlin, her down syndrome baby is not really hers. Please>

Also LIBERAL FEMINISTS HATE SARAH PALIN BECAUSE SHE IS NOT A LIBERAL.

FEMINISM IS ONLY FOR LIBERAL WOMEN. LIBERALISM IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK LIKE LIBERALS.

OBAMA IS TIED TO BILL AYERS AND ALL OF HIS RADICAL FR. PFLEGER AND REV. WRIGHT.
