Tina Fey is the Anti Palin

# 2 TheTechNewsBlog said, on August 30th, 2008 at 12:20 am

That’s gotta be twins! VERY alike.

# 3 TheMacMommy said, on August 30th, 2008 at 12:30 am

“Live! from Alaska! It’s Saturday Night!” nah. Just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Not sure which is going to suck more. SNL skits or Palin as VP. It’s a tough call.

How about a MAC vs a PC comparison?

F-U! Annie Potts is more like it!

# 6 northcoaster said, on August 30th, 2008 at 1:44 am

The difference is, Tina Fey is brilliant.

# 7 TheJim said, on August 30th, 2008 at 1:48 am

Politics aside, she’s a MILF.

# 8 sirfelix said, on August 30th, 2008 at 2:39 am

Wow, very similar. The only difference is Tina Fey is more qualified for the VP spot.
On a positive note, after McCain dies they can bring in Tina Fey to act as a Brain Double for the president.

# 9 Dan said, on August 30th, 2008 at 2:58 am

Yeah, change the hair… and also, make the old bible-basher attractive, and yeah sure they’d look a little similar.

# 10 dSLRdaddotcom said, on August 30th, 2008 at 3:36 am

When watching the live CNN feed and seeing a press photo of her with blonde hair, a then seeing her walk out on stage as a brunette, the first thing I heard at our lunch table was ‘Wow, Tina Fey is going to get a lot of extra work playing a VP on. SNL. Too funny.

Side note: is it just me, or does John mention Tina Fey any chance he gets??

# 11 zachbass said, on August 30th, 2008 at 3:45 am

The decision by McCain to choose a virtual unknown is disturbing, and you have to question that judgement. I personally think Romney would have been the best choice, although the American people and the left will not let go of his Mormonism.

But this is no reason for the vitriol I see here for Sarah Palin. Unless all the commenters here are Obama sycophants. Then it would all make sense, that it would have mattered who McCain chose.

Now, if she uses a Mac, then that will raise my opinion of her greatly! It may raise a few other things as well. A beautiful, conservative Mac users. Excuse me, I gotta go.

# 12 Dallas said, on August 30th, 2008 at 3:49 am

The irrational selection of Palin is all the entertainment I can stand for a week.
As someone else put it, this IS a circus.

# 13 flashkube said, on August 30th, 2008 at 4:00 am

Dvorak must have meant mother and daughter, right?

# 14 Greg said, on August 30th, 2008 at 4:27 am

VPILF if McCain wins and dies in office–PILF!!!

# 15 pedro said, on August 30th, 2008 at 4:30 am

Hmmm: Second blog I see this. With the same title, no less.

# 16 Mr. Fusion said, on August 30th, 2008 at 4:58 am

MILF ??? Have you people no sense of taste. The only way I’d boff her is they threw a flag over her face and I was ordered to do it for my country.

People, some of us do have a sense of moral values that transcend our more primal instincts. There is no way I could do it whilst know her screams of “Oh God” were actually being addressed to someone else.

Besides, Tina Fey exudes a confident sexuality. Palin is just another face waiting for the wrinkles.

# 17 Me! said, on August 30th, 2008 at 5:02 am

What a ridiculous charade the Republicans are trotting out. EVERYONE knows that women can’t be attractive and smart. Morons.

# 18 oil of dog said, on August 30th, 2008 at 5:42 am

Which one is Tina???

#19, gq,

Sounds like you would screw any ole ditch pig that comes along. Congratulations, ditch pigs need loving too. Especially when they need some more crack.

My wife satisfies me to the point I don’t need to fantasize over some other man’s wife.

# 21 Digby said, on August 30th, 2008 at 6:39 am

I can tell by the comments here that the “Obama as Messiah” crowd is worried. What’s the matter? Don’t like the idea of a powerful woman from a truly free state? I am sure the anti gun crowd is trying to unknot their pink panties. Great move by John. I sent his campaign money, the first time I have sent any campaign money, and I will bet I am not the only one who appreciates his real “change” Biden? Give me a break!

# 22 qsabe said, on August 30th, 2008 at 6:50 am

Gotta give the old guy credit. He sure can pick lookers. If we are going to get fucked, let it be by lookers.

# 23 J said, on August 30th, 2008 at 6:54 am

# 21 Digby

Yeah but the question is did you donate as much as myself and my wife did to Obama and the democratic party?

My guess is probably not.

The money is on the democratic side this time my friend. Your team is going to lose and lose big.

# 24 Mister Ketchup said, on August 30th, 2008 at 7:19 am

If I had my choice I’d take Sarah. But then again she is not pro-choice.

# 25 sniff said, on August 30th, 2008 at 7:30 am

# 17 Me!

And you just showed how ignorant you are. If you keep making comments like that every woman on the planet well back her.

# 26 sniff said, on August 30th, 2008 at 7:35 am

Everyone here is making judgment calls on her intellect and complaining about her experience.

Lets compare:

Palin served two terms on the Wasilla, Alaska, City Council from 1992 to 1996, and was elected mayor of Wasilla twice, in 1996 and 1999. She also ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor of Alaska in 2002. Palin is the current Governor of the US state of Alaska and the presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee for the 2008 United States presidential election.

Obama was in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. He was unsuccessful in his bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate in January 2003 and when elected in 2004, only held the Senate position for 127 days before venturing off on his presidential campaign.

She has just as much experience as Obama, if not more..

# 27 James Hill said, on August 30th, 2008 at 7:40 am

The anti-Palin side is already failing and it hasn’t been a day. Proof it was a smart pick.

Also, Tina Fey’s 15 minutes are about over. She did nothing for SNL besides run off the little talent they had left, and “30 Rock” is entering its sink or swim season.

Then again, on NBC, being bad beats being pathetic… which if you haven’t noticed describes about everything else they’re doing these days.

# 28 brendal said, on August 30th, 2008 at 7:53 am

I would love to know what Tina Fey thinks about all of this!

# 29 Paddy-O said, on August 30th, 2008 at 8:01 am

#23 – J lied, “The money is on the democratic side this time my friend. Your team is going to lose and lose big.”

Hmmm.

“The RNC outraised its rival (DNC) more than 2-1 in contributions and by $6 million in total receipts in July, and now has a $68 million advantage in cash-on-hand.”

# 30 Arnold Hill said, on August 30th, 2008 at 8:09 am

I think it’s funny that they look alike. Happy accident for Tina. Palin seems to be a well spoken Mrs. Smith goes to Washington. Honestly after hearing her speak for yen minutes on the news and a brief news bite of her past I would vote for her over Mccain or Obama in a three way race.

The fun reality is we are going to vote for an African-American president or a woman VP. So we are guareented to do something original.

# 31 James Hill said, on August 30th, 2008 at 8:10 am

#28 – My guess would be “Oh fuck. Now I have to go back on SNL to do a lame impression.”

Personally, I lost interest in the black framed glasses look after Lisa Loeb.

# 32 dannyd said, on August 30th, 2008 at 10:14 am

We thought Sarah Palin looks like Peggy Hill http://lookliker.com/2008/08/29/sarah-palin-looks-like-peggy-hill/ Tina Fey looks more like her though. Good one!

>>Dvorak must have meant mother
>>and daughter, right?

Which one is the mother? They look like sisters to me.

I’d vote for Tina, though. Even though the Fisherman’s Wife is pretty hot.

# 34 Rich said, on August 30th, 2008 at 11:07 am

My first mental comparison was Mariska Hargitay.

# 35 meursault said, on September 3rd, 2008 at 6:36 pm

bitch is the new black

# 36 buffygroupie said, on September 4th, 2008 at 1:45 pm

I barely know who Tina Fey is, I think she’s some actress or something, right? She does look remarkably like Ms. Palin, but clearly if the best she can do with her life is be a barely known celebrity then she’s not anywhere near being in the same league as a vice presidential candidate.

It will be amazing to have a female in the white house. You know, one that’s not giving a bj to Bill Clinton.

# 37 Jessica said, on September 4th, 2008 at 10:29 pm

To bad Tina’s not on SNL anymore, that would of been a perfect role. LOL

# 38 nobama said, on September 6th, 2008 at 5:25 am

I find these comments funny, the ones where the liberals are putting her down. You sure are frightened by a great looking smart conservative woman. Must be your worst nightmare. I love it.

# 39 nojay said, on September 6th, 2008 at 1:49 pm

@#36 I’m pretty sure Hillary was in the white house before and wasn’t giving any bj’s.

# 40 jmw said, on September 13th, 2008 at 7:08 pm

Experience…hmmm Sarah was mayor of a town of less than 9,000. Governor of a state that does not have a high population. She has a BA in Journalism….oh wow. Obama graduated from Columbia with a BA and then graduated from Harvard Law School. He was an attorney and a law professor. He was a member of many organizations and committees. IL State Senator from 1996 to 2004. U.S. Senator from 2005 to present. I think he has more experience and education than Sarah. And let’s see how the investigation of Sarah goes….

# 41 AMB said, on September 13th, 2008 at 8:10 pm

Oh yes, Obama has experience. Never mind he didn’t propose a single bill while being a Senator… he devoted more time and effort to writing his bibliographies…

While we’re on the topic of “experience,” let’s examine a short list of other presidents/ vice presidents who also lacked “experience.”

Dwight D. Eisenhower: no elected experience period.

Ulysses Grant: His story mirrors Dwight.

Zachary Taylor: Again, no elected experience. This guy hadn’t even ever voted before he became president…

Abraham Lincoln: Served 4 terms in the Illinois Legislator sporadically. Spent 2 years as a Representative of Illinois in the U.S. House. He cut his political career short after speaking out against the Mexican- American War (got too much negative attention). And then as we all know, ended up president.

Since when was experience a qualification for us to consider a candidate? Previously there was an emphasis on the individual’s ideals and plans for our Country. Now we’re busy looking to see who’s spent the most time either trying to push their agenda or just screw things up in general. In either instance, wouldn’t less “experience” be best?

# 42 Mister Mustard said, on September 13th, 2008 at 8:49 pm

#41 – AMB

>>he devoted more time and effort to
>>writing his bibliographies…

Ah yes. Those bibliographies can take up so much time.

You can’t have it both ways. Either Obama’s experience at the national level is a liability (in which case you’re admitting that Barracuda has less), or Barracuda’s lack of experience is an asset, in which case you’re saying that Obama has more.

In either case, Tina Fey was totally hot as Sarracuda tonight on SNL. She’d have my vote.

# 43 siggymond said, on September 13th, 2008 at 9:15 pm

Tiny Fey was an absolute frickin’ riot on SNL tonight. Dead on impersonation of Palin…down to the same dumb accent. Awesome funny. So was Pohler.

# 44 jmw said, on September 14th, 2008 at 8:18 am

For your information: Senators Obama and Feingold authored a bill that prohibits strict bans on receiving gifts and meals from lobbyists. In 2006 he laid the groundwork for a reform package that the Senate eventually adopted. He helped author the Honest Leadership and Open Government Act. He has authored 3 other ethics bills.

# 45 GUY said, on September 14th, 2008 at 9:53 am

I think she is just as qualified to be VP as Obama is to be Pres. Liberals are always overlooking their own faults, and making sure to point and laugh at everyone else’s.

# 46 jmw said, on September 14th, 2008 at 11:27 am

Actually I am a registered republican but have decided to cross party lines after McCain picked Palin

# 47 toader51 said, on September 14th, 2008 at 12:36 pm

hey guy. conservatives are always overlooking their own faults and making sure to point and laugh at everyone else’s. WAKE UP! IT’S CALLED “POLITICS!”

# 48 bjbraxy said, on September 16th, 2008 at 10:00 pm

#46 That’s interesting, because I am registered democrate and am crossing lines for Palin. Funny how we all see things differently, and what we believe is the most important issue.

I do believe in gay rights, pro-choice, yet the biggest concern this country has right now should be getting control of our energy sources. Maybe Obama knows a little bit about a lot of issues, but Palin knows a lot about one major issue. And from what her accomplishments have been in Alaska, she is the one to put this control back into the American hands and keep our money on our soil.

If we don’t get the control of the energy crisis, our country will be in such dire straights that gay rights and pro-choice will be a non-issue.

Just my opinion… I’m looking out for my children’s future and the future of their children.

# 49 RudytheScottie said, on September 17th, 2008 at 5:27 pm

I wonder if Tina Fey will vote for McCain/Palin. If elected Fey will have work for the next four years.

# 50 CRice said, on September 18th, 2008 at 11:24 am

To buffygroupie, try not to speak, due to your great ignorance, what are you 23 if that, check out some old SNLs to see who Tina Fey is or watch 30 Rock. Its scary to think you might be old enough to vote.

Dont speak unless you know what you are talking about. duh………

What have you been living under in the last ten years? I don’t live in the USA and I don’t watch television yet I still know who Tina Fey is! If you think that fame is a measure of ability to become a vice president, then under that logic, I should automatically think Palin would be terrible since I never heard of her until McCain announced her as his running mate, right?

# 52 Barney said, on September 22nd, 2008 at 1:52 pm

Palin is much better looking. Fey looks like she had some kind of accident that deformed her face.

# 53 Alan said, on September 22nd, 2008 at 3:03 pm

Actually, Barney, no. Tina Fey looks like an ordinary woman, like most women on the street, which you’d know if you ever got out and talked to women rather than just ogling porn stars in your mom’s basement on the laptop she bought you.

# 54 nomccain said, on September 27th, 2008 at 7:19 am

doesnt matter if she would make a good prez or vprez.

fuck mccain, dont let another pice of shit stain your star studded panties.

# 55 nandorocker said, on October 5th, 2008 at 8:16 pm

Amazing how you predicted this, John. You should switch from tech pundit to TV guru, maybe there’s still some money to be made there. Can you tell me what’s gonna happen next on Dexter?!?

# 56 Janderson said, on October 20th, 2008 at 9:41 am

Surprising myself for saying this but I think Palin gets the edge. When they were both on SNL together and when Palin took the podium after Fey walked off, it was a slight upgrade…though she’s 6 years or so older.

God help us if she becomes VP though.

# 57 BuffyGroupie said, on October 24th, 2008 at 6:53 am

Thought I’d respond a bit:

Nojay – Hillary may have lived in the White House, but she didn’t hold office – no one voted for her to be there.

CRice – I’m 44, and SNL has been stupid for a long, long time, so apparently by the time Ms. Fey arrived, I had already grown up and was no longer watching.

Stephanie Chan – good for you. Its nice to know that people who don’t live in the US care so much about our TV celebrities. Personally, I don’t know and I don’t care at all. I actually tune out any celebrity who thinks they should share their political view with me, as well, since most of them are neither educated nor intelligent enough to discuss political matters and certainly they don’t have the right to tell me how to think.

It scares me that people take what celebrities say as the truth when most of them have absolutely no experience or understanding of how to run a country. Some of them can’t even handle their own lives.
