Tina Fey's Sarah Palin Remarks Cut by PBS

By Zach Dionne Posted Nov 16th 2010 01:43PM


In a taped ceremony of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday, PBS chopped recipient Tina Fey's remarks regarding Sarah Palin. Now an executive producer of the broadcast tells the Washington Post the move had nothing to do with politics.

"It was not a political decision," Peter Kaminsky says. "We had zero problems with anything she said."

Tina Fey thanked Sarah Palin for her own comedic success, referencing a recurring, dead-on impression on 'Saturday Night Live' during the 2008 election (pictured, below right). "I would be a liar and an idiot if I didn't thank Sarah Palin for helping get me here tonight," Fey said. "My partial resemblance and her crazy voice are the two luckiest things that ever happened to me."

Then she forged ahead to more brazenly anti-Palin territory: "Politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women ... unless you're a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years -- whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. Unless you believe in evolution. You know, actually, I take it back. The whole thing's a disaster."

1. Take away the first letter and you get

BS

2. Is this the so-called "Librul Medeea"?

They're spineless. Yeah, I know, they can't afford to offend, but that's what's wrong with Obama too. "What will the Repubicans think?" Who cares what they think?

Dammit.

5. And they don't question the accuracy of Republican talking points

when they are NPR doing a "news" interview. Scott Simon is one of the weakest interviewers on air. At least Diane Reem asks questions of the factually challenge Republicans.

8. And the article you linked to censored this:

"..And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women — except, of course, those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape kit and stuff,” Fey said...
