Why Tina Fey isn't Sarah Palin

The buzz over the almost dead SNL is all about Tina Fey playing Sarah Palin. But somehow, seeing Tina Fey imitate Sarah Palin made me a little queasy. What is Tina Fey? Well, to give her credit, she is a very smart, very talented woman who is, by her own confessions, a "reformed" mean girl. She is the girl that you knew in high school who was very smart, very talented and very mean. By mean, I am pretty sure you know she was the one who made fun of a girl with bad hair, bad skin, crooked teeth, a big nose, not the best clothes, braces, a speech impediment- I mean, you KNOW who she is. She probably had a small, close group of friends who laughed at everything she said. In short, she was the kind of girl I just stayed away from. Now she makes a living writing skits that make fun of people- though she has a little girl herself who is watching her mother carefully. Sarah Palin has run a city and a state. She has stood up to people without being mean but by being competent. Sarah Palin believes in herself and her place on earth. She is a solid, no-nonsense mother whose loving behavior shows in the way her children treat one another. She is not a liberal because she knows that liberalism does not work. It is the stepchild of socialism. Sarah Palin is an Alaskan woman. Tina Fey is a New York liberal. She takes her millions of dollars and convinces herself that she is the epitome of cool. But, in reality, she (and now what has become a smug Amy Poehler- a look that doesn't improve with age) is STILL a mean girl. Perhaps, to be a sarcastic comedian like Fey and Poehler, one must be so insecure and basically unkind so that they can attack people who are working hard to make something happen. Of course, they haven't looked at their future tax bills under Obama. They cling to the fear of abortion being made illegal, which is not likely since neither Reagan or Bush got that done. It has been the law of the land, despite the regret of Roe herself, for a long time now. They cling to their fear of a woman who can actually find a way to put dinner on the table by shooting it! The thought of having to ever know how meat gets put on a table appalls them. Tina Fey isn't content to have a television show. She has to find a way to be a mean girl. The question is, like most mean girls, why doesn't Tina Fey try to meet Sarah Palin? I am pretty sure Tina would be afraid to- since most really mean girls NEVER want to be alone with their "victims". In all of this, I am sorriest about Amy Poehler. Though there is a possibility that she is just another one like Tina. It goes to show you that you really never know a celebrity. Poehler is now just a saracastic mouthpiece with none of the charm that she had in the first couple of seasons she was on SNL. The show is now dead. As a doornail. And I won't watch it again. I will watch 30 rock unless it stops being a comedy and starts serving as a political mouth piece. (Though as mean as Fey is, one can hardly watch Alec Baldwin without thinking of his maniacal diatribes against his daughter and his country.) I wonder if ANY of the people who call themselves Tina's friends REALLY trust her. I wouldn't. Those mean girls never change.
