Tina Fey is quickly becoming a one-trick pony. Despite her prolific and varied portfolio as a film and television actress, screenwriter and producer, it's clear that her favorite role is playing the mean girl.
Over the weekend, she hosted "Saturday Night Live" - and mostly got attention for reprising her role as Sarah Palin in a scathing sketch that managed to mock Palin simultaneously as a self-obsessed reality star, an unsophisticated hick, a fanatical ideologue and a bad mother. Two years after the last presidential campaign, going after Palin again seems more than meanspirited - it's also a little lazy for such a gifted writer and cultural satirist as Fey.
But what was infinitely more interesting than yet another Palin rendition was the endless barrage of swipes Fey took at other women recently in the news, and for all the wrong reasons.
In one sketch, she played one of Tiger Woods' sex-obsessed mistresses. And during the faux news show "Weekend Update," she railed against Michelle (Bombshell) McGee, the alleged mistress of bad boy Jesse James, Sandra Bullock's wayward husband.

Who’s Tina Fey? I don’t watch “entertainment” on television.
It’s “jumped the shark” but NBC will keep it alive for the sake of bashing. Another reason not to watch SNL.
One trick Donkey...
Obama takes control of more than 50% of the private sector, and Tina Fey focuses on Palin.
Doesn’t say much for her intelligence. It says volumes about her ignorance.
I have to admit, “30 Rock” is hilarious, and they skewer the left as well as the right.
If she WAS gifted and a "cultural satirist", people wouldn't have to make excuses for her being a HACK.
Take Mark Twain for example.
A typical low-class lefty b!tch.
But, I’m being redundant.
If only!
I think Hollywood's allegience with Obambi isn't born of ignorance, but of deeply shared Socialist beliefs and goals.
They called her portrayal “iconic”.
Hardly. It was pretty much stupid, especially the part about “I can see Russia from my house”.
She never said anything close to that.

She seems to have a gender problem trying to appear as the Obamanation, though.
Wonder if Tina can still see Russia from Sarah's huse.
I think it is a funny show, too.
It’s the only thing Tinny has going for her.
You don’t think she may be getting paid to do that, do you?
I think that may have been a joke??
How's that for being funny, er , mean?
I thought the Fey sketch was really lame, unfunny and badly written. And S.C. is right, Tina has reduced herself to being a garden variety Palin basher. How edgy and super hip.
Well, not so much the veiled aspect lately.
