Sarah Palin: Oh Lord, Tina Fey's gonna have a field day...

On his birthday, John McCain gave "Saturday Night Live" a birthday present: A Tina Fey look-a-like. Sarah Palin, his surprise choice as VP, has more than a passing resemblance to Fey, currently writing and acting in "30 Rock," the best sitcom on television. You'd have to think, however, that Fey will be either excited or politely encouraged by Lorne Michaels to make a few "SNL" visits and spoof Palin. Palin

Palin

Now if only "SNL" could figure out how to do a better Obama. (Obama's VP candidate, Joe Biden, shouldn't be too difficult to mock. They might even be able to use his own words.)

Tina Fey can passably parody Palin!

Maybe a little bit. I’ve heard people say it before but I really don’t see it, especially on video and not just a still image.

I thought Tina Fey quit SNL for 30 Rock.

Yeah pretty good resemblance there but Mariska Hargitay from Law and Order:SVU is even more of a resemblance, minus the glasses.

Told my wife the same thing the other night. Fey’s going to be a guest host on the show next weekend, too. Now if they can only be nice to Sarah and mock Obama’s perdictament with opposing a women, but knowing the humorless crew at SNL, they'll make Palin out to be a kooky bimbo.

She did leave SNL, but she did guest host. I wouldn’t be shocked to see her guest star.

They could always have Amy Poehler play Sarah if Tina can’t guest star.

This Tina Fey episode is a repeat from last season.

Michael Phelps is hosting the season premiere on Sept. 13

Wow!

Mariska is the daughter of Jayne Mansfield and Mickey Hargitay.....both were body-builders in different ways:

and we say in the south (some of us anyway) "she's built like a burlap bag full of bobcats".

Not Tina Fey. Palin looks more like Karen Walker from Will & Grace.

I hate when TV cops wear their strong side weapons too far forward, right on the tip of the hip rather than slid slightly back. This holster is worn with the extreme cant loops chosen. It should be positioned even further back.

The really interesting thing about both of them is that they both are driven go-getters that have accomplished quite a lot on their own.

Unlike certain others that rode on the coattails of their husband or went the casting couch route.

Tina Fey is not even pretty, imo, and she is nasty as they come. She is NO comparison to Sarah.

Well they both like guns, although not sure if Mariska uses one in real life outside her training for the show to make it look like she knows how to use it.

Actually, voice is the stronger unique quality of Paline. You can add the glasses and hair to just about anyone.

If I were to guess, present SNLer Kristin Wigg (sp?) would do the better Palin impression because of the voice.

Gun? What gun? You were looking at a gun?

Oh, that gun. Didn’t notice.

Tina Fey, no way! She is not attractive at all. Sarah Palin actually looks like Phyllis George, former Governor of Ky.

Only the glasses. Tina isn’t as pretty.

If Amy Poehler plays Sarah Palin then who will play Biden?
