I just learned that Tina Fey was quoting Palin verbatim last night! Ha Ha Ha!

[EffieBlack]

I thought her monologue about the bailout was a scripted parody of Palin. I had no idea she was quoting her directly.

"But ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy. Um, helping, oh -- it's got to be all about job creation too. Shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track. So healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions, and tax relief for Americans, and trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as a competitive, um, scary thing, but 1 in 5 jobs being created in the trade sector today. We've got to look at that as more opportunity. All of those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that."

Good Lord!

1. I've said before that republicans are fighting to put the Onion out of business...

Looks like they're making inroads on the SNL writers.

:rofl:

[VoodooGuru]

21. That's it, Sarah Palin is now to be known as "Area Vice Presidential Candidate". nt

[polichick]

2. Isn't that amazing?! I actually heard Fey before Palin...

...and I was shocked to hear Sarah saying those lines!

[lurky]

3. Haha! Same here!

My reaction:
:wow:

[polichick]

5. All I could think of was that poor S.C. beauty pageant girl - yikes!

[Cha]

19. How funny! I've yet to see the SNL from last

night..I think I'll go do that now.

Was there some big rumor that palin was going to make an actual appearance on SNL last night?

[anigbrowl]

4. Yeah, when SNL writers are going 'you can't make this shit up' you really suck

I'm figuring Tina Fey one more time next weekend after the debate...FTW!

[Brotherjohn]

6. Is this true? Source please! (nt)

[Brotherjohn]

11. It's pretty unbelieveable, isn't it?

7. Most of what Tina Fey said were direct quotes. That's why it was so hilarious.

[Hippo_Tron]

8. And clearly they all go under the job creation umbrella because it might start raining job creation

[undeterred]

12. Well, maybe Sarah Palin can get a job writing for SNL

I'm just sayin'. :shrug:

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. I put up a Sarah Palin & Tina Fey with Split Screen Comparison

in the video section... http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x200755

[Mojambo]

14. And not just the words. Fey nailed the timing and the mannerisms perfectly.

When she talks about trade as not a scary thing...

Unbelievable

[Bensthename]

15. I bet they keep Sara away from seeing and hearing the SNL skits.

She is already fragile.

[Berry Cool]

20. It's OK

She watches with the sound turned off.

[firedupdem]

16. That's what made it so funny for me! She was actually saying

what that crazy lady said! That's pretty bad when it's funny and they aren't even changing the wording!

[msallied]

17. Oh yeah, I'd seen a lot of her quoted BS on here before the SNL sketch

so I knew when I heard Tina Fey spouting it, there was no creative writing involved. I was ROLLING. You really can't make that crap up. lolol

[4_Legs_Good]

18. Tina Fey DEFINITELY sounded better than Pain

It's so bad it's hilarious
