During her acceptance speech during tonight’s Golden Globes, Tina Fey made some time to tell some of her harsh “internet critics” to “suck it.” The bit was pretty funny (you must watch it here).

“If you ever start to feel too good about yourself, they have this thing called the Internet! You can find a lot of people there who don’t like you! I’d like to address some of them now! BabsonLacrosse, you can suck it. DianeFan, you can suck it. Cougar-Letter, you can really suck it ’cause you’ve been after me all year. And to my husband, Jeff, I love you. Thank you very much!”

Well apparently Gawker did some research and found out that those “anonymous internet critics” Fey mentioned on stage, believe it or not — those users are actual posters on the LA Times’ Envelope Awards website.

Those comments will undoubtedly start a new firestorm.

She was blessed that with a lot of makeup and props, she could imitate the most interesting person during this election.
I didn't see where she thanked God for giving her those features that made her famous.

BTW, what kind of talent does she have to copy someone else’s look and read lines written by comic writers?

She should have asked folks to vote for Palin so she (FEY) would still have a reason to be in the limelight.

[sarasota]

Tina knows how to work the media to get folks talking about her. Attention whore?

[Skid Marx]

Yikes. Had no idea who she was. Googled the name and watched the O’Reilly clip. Wow. Thanks.

If I were there I would have laughed at Cohen’s joke, at least he’s an equal-opportunity offender.

[sportutegrl]

I like VJ. She is a Christian and a good person.

[Pharmboy]

For someone who has made their living for years by lampooning people, Ms. Fey doth have a VERY thin skin. Get over yourself m'dear...

[Sudetenland]

Huh???

[slumber1]

Goodness, how long did she have to ponder to come up with such an impressive comeback? I am always so disappointed by such lame answers to criticism.

Took no thought at all, she stole that line from Kathy Griffin

[mountn man]

Hey Tina, I’d tell you to jump off the Santa Monica pier, but I’m opposed to polluting the Pacific Ocean.

A lot wittier than "suck it".

[McGavin999]

The funny thing is, in the skit with Sarah, when Sarah actually walked past her you could tell how much more attractive Sarah is. It made Tina Fey look frumpy and dumpy.

[stuartcr]

Why?

[stuartcr]

Isn’t it her job to imitate someone and read her script?

[Pilated]

Tina who? Tina Bidet? That besmeared women who thinks she might be funny. Get the hook, next act please.

[Secret Agent Man]

It wasn’t Victoria - she did a movie with Andrew Dice Clay. Victoria Jackson is/was actually a pretty decent person.

[excalibur1701]

Isn’t her 15 minutes of fame up yet? Just another Hollyweird liberal who doesn’t have a clue.

[ru4liberty]

Another liberal weenie who can dish it out but can't take it.

[50sDad]

Thanks to all on this thread...yes, I acknowledge and agree that Victoria Jackson is on our side and a pretty nice person.

[netmilsmom]

I love Sasha.
He is crude, rude and not for kids, but he makes me laugh.

[BlueAngel]

Rose, I hope you know that I was being sarcastic!
