Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich appeared on FOX NEWS and had this to say about Tina Fey’s skits involving Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live.
“This is a kind of deliberate, vicious, dishonest, total distortion of who Governor Palin is, including, by the way, the Saturday Night Live skits, some of which I think were slander and worthy of a lawsuit,” the former Speaker of the House said. “I think the America people should realize that the elite media on the left is so desperate to elect Barack Obama that the view they’re giving you of Sarah Palin is fundamentally a falsehood.”
Do these Idiot’s even hear what they are saying? Think rationally, if you were to make out a list of all the politicians, celebrities, and world leaders that were mocked, parodied, lampooned, ridiculed, and made fun of on Saturday Night Live….how long would that list be?
It would be huge!!
Some people in the spotlight actually look at it as a sign that “you have made it to the big time” when SNL bothers to make you the subject of a skit.
Go ahead Newt…Sue Tina Fey and Saturday Night Live for doing an impression of Sarah Palin that is so darn good because Tina Fey does not even need to write her own jokes….she just recites word for word what Sarah Palin has actually said.
What an Idiot! And this guy led our Congress at one time in History? Ouch!
I think Tina Feys act is different from the other SNL parodies. This is not just an impersonation-its mocking the person b/c u obviously d/n like her. Chevy Chase and Dana Carveys presidential impersonations weren’t mean spirited and they were still funny. Of course Newt is stupid for his comment but I have to agree that Fey is downright cruel and not really funny

Why does it matter what Mr. Gingrich thinks? Suing SNL after Sarah Palin participates in the show seems to be rather senseless.

Maybe Obama should sue Sarah Palin for all the lies she told during the campaign. If you watch any of Palin’s talks, she cannot make a solid statement about anything.
