Tina Fey Blamed For Palin Backlash

Tina Fey is being blamed for John McCain and Sarah Palin’s recent slip in the polls. According to the Washington Times, the "Tina Fey Effect" has turned people off the Alaskan governor and her running-mate, presidential candidate John McCain. 

The New York Post reports “Presidential impersonators do influence elections, and in this one, Tina Fey is well on her way to ruining Sarah Palin's political career. In a political culture that takes its cues from popular culture, a good impersonator may be worth a million votes… People remember Gerald Ford through the prism of Chevy Chase. Ford was among our most athletic presidents, and he had a wide-ranging knowledge of public-policy issues. But because of SNL, many came to think of him as a buffoon."

Riiight, we see her as an idiot because of Tina Fey’s impersonation, not because the woman is an inexperienced, blundering idiot. It’s all Tina and SNL’s fault that the Republicans are slipping in the polls. It’s got nothing to do with our disastrous economy and the Dow plunging day after day like lemmings off a cliff.

Uh huh.
