Tina Fey Impersonation Generating Buzz

And really not in a good way...from the NewsCorp-ish (who had to sell to a former exec in 1994 to buy WFXT) Boston Herald:

If the only thing Tina Fey had done was use her looks and a fake beehive to create an uncanny impersonation of John McCain’s running mate, that might have been enough. But in the SNL opening sketch, hilarity was trumped by keen political satire. Listening to Fey’s “Sarah” tell us that global warming was only “God’s way of huggin’ us closer,” was a gut buster, because let’s face it, we could all imagine the real Sarah believing that - if not saying it during an unscripted moment, assuming such a moment ever occurs.

You know Tina hit a nerve when that humorless doyenne and McCain mouthpiece, former CEO Carly Fiorina, whined that Fey was being “dismissive” of Sarah by trying to suggest Hillary had more substance.

Duh! Well, it’s good to see that Carly’s quick on the uptake.

Even though a far more “maverick” version of John McCain once got pretty wild and crazy as an SNL host, I don’t think he’s welcoming the prospect of six or seven more weeks of Tina Fey spoofing his very favorite bubble-headed governor in the whole world.
