What has happened in this country where the political musings of celebrities are headline news?
It seems these days, Western culture--at least judging by the media--puts its primary emphasis on celebrity and becoming famous.
The latest example of a celebrity taking themselves too seriously comes from Sunday night's Emmy telecast. You say you missed it? Don't worry, according to the
Drudge Report , it was the lowest rated Emmy Awards ever. Could it be that flyover country is tired of comments like those that came from actress/comedian Tina Fey?
Now, I don't know Tina Fey. Other than her role in "Mean Girls," I haven't followed her career. I don't watch "Saturday Night Live," which hasn't been funny since "Da Bears" skits died out. I have had some coworkers who think Tina is wonderful.
But I do know this. According to the AP, Fey was quoted as saying about playing Palin on SNL:
"I want to be done playing this lady Nov. 5. So if anybody can help me be done playing this lady Nov. 5, that would be good for me."
Fey has a right to her opinion and politics but this seems rather harsh considering that Super Sarah told Sean Hannity that though she could not hear the SNL Palin skit, she thought Fey was "spot on" in her resemblance to her.
Well I'm sorry Ms. Fey and all your elitist liberal celebrity friends--Super Sarah, win or lose, will be here long after November 5th. That's because her resume is 1000 times more impressive than yours.
Tina Fey holds up a new cola product that represents her political IQ.
