A lot of people think it was Sarah Palin that said this, however, it was
really Tina Fey.

Guess who wins the Mark Twain award?

Mark Twain Prize Goes To Tina Fey
Compiled by DAVE ITZKOFF
Published: May 25, 2010


When we last saw Liz Lemon, the hapless, harried television alter ego of
Tina Fey, below, she seemed to have found true love at last with an
airline pilot who just happened to be played by Matt Damon. Though the
romantic entanglements of Liz tend not to last too long, her creator and
performer is about to receive an honor that's a little more enduring. On
Tuesday the Kennedy Center announced that it would present its annual Mark
Twain Prize for American Humor to Ms. Fey, the “30 Rock” star,
“Saturday Night Live” alumna and occasional cribber of punch lines
from her daughter, Alice. In the 13-year history of the prize, Ms. Fey
will be its third female recipient: it was previously presented to Lily
Tomlin in 2003 and Whoopi Goldberg in 2001. In a statement Ms. Fey said:
“I am truly thrilled to receive this honor. I assume Betty White was
disqualified for steroid use.” Ms. Fey is to receive the award on Nov. 9.


FIrst the Nobel Prize to Obama for doing nothing, and who has still done
nothing and now this. Feh.

I agree with you. Fey's good, but not good enough. The prize should've gone
to Sarah Palin.

Is Word Salad Sarah really a conservative? I don't think so. She
never gave me the sense that she actually understood the underlying
foundation of Conservatism and how it differs from the Republican
Party's planks. I bet she can't really articulate the changes in the
republican party through the decades and elections.

There are plenty of other writers more deserving.
