Tina Fey returned to Saturday Night Live last weekend because, well, no one else does Sarah Palin like she does. And as expected, Tina’s mannerism and speech patterns were spot on. But I was a little disappointed, because Tina’s speech itself was more understandable and made a lot more sense than the real deal, Sarah Palin.
If you are going to impersonate Palin, then what you say cannot make any sense, whatsoever. Like Fey said, “We’ve seen our own children targeted by the police for no reason other than they committed some crimes.” A clear reference to Palin’s son, Track, who was arrested for domestic abuse. “We turn on the news every morning and are shocked to see we’re not even on it, because we’ve been replaced by immigrants like Geraldo Rivera.”
And this. “They say Trump and his trumpeters are right-wingin’, bitter-clingin’, proud of clingers of our guns. But he can kick ISIS ass, because he commands fire.”
Wait a second. That sounds almost exactly like what the real deal Sarah Palin said this week when she endorsed Trump. In that case, forget what I said above. Tina Fay’s impression, as always, was on the money!
