"Tina Fey is loved because she can impersonate Sarah Palin, but I don&amp;#39;t think Fey would have the guts to do a smidge of the stuff Sarah Palin has done up there in Alaska, taking on oil companies, corrupt Republicans and all the rest. So why is Fey getting all the love, while Palin&amp;#39;s accomplishments are ignored?\nThis came to me as I was watching Fey explain how she taught herself to do Sarah Palin&amp;#39;s accent on David Letterman last Friday. Every time Fey dropped a hard &amp;quot;r&amp;quot; the audience applauded and exploded with laughter.\nThis struck me as a bit odd. Tina Fey calls herself a feminist, yet she has no problem making a punchline out of Palin&amp;#39;s looks, accent and personal beliefs. I wonder if this behavior is going to cause a backlash. I gotta say, &amp;quot;30 Rock&amp;quot; has less appeal for me since Fey said she would &amp;quot;leave Earth&amp;quot; if McCain-Palin won in November.\nWe&amp;#39;re supposed to applaud and laugh along as Fey makes fun of Palin, ripping her to pieces as a down-home, know-nothing upper Midwesterner. Meanwhile, Fey&amp;#39;s famous for nothing more than her snarky insecurities. (Yes, I question the emotional health of a woman who is still hung up on teenage mean girl drama.)\nIt makes me sort of sad. Maybe it&amp;#39;s because, as a native Michigander, I sometimes stretch out some of those &amp;quot;r&amp;#39;s&amp;quot; and vowels myself. It&amp;#39;s more than that though. When it comes down to it, I just think it&amp;#39;s unfair the class clown is getting more credit and respect than the one running for vice president."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
