McCain Camp: Fey's 'SNL' Sketch Was 'Sexist'
"Saturday Night Live" fans hailed Tina Fey's impersonation of Sarah Palin as a spot-on spoof of the would-be GOP VP -- but John McCain's advisor, Carly Fiorina, was not amused!
"The portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were defining Hillary Clinton as very substantive, and Sarah Palin as totally superficial," Fiorina told MSNBC. "I think that continues the line of argument that is disrespectful in the extreme, and yes I would say sexist." Well!
Carly continued, "Just because Sarah Palin has different views than Hillary Clinton does not mean that she lacks substance. She has a lot of substance."
The Governor's own spokesperson, Tracey Schmitt, said Palin had a good laugh over the sketch with the press corps on her plane. "She thought it was quite funny, particularly because she once dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween," Schmitt said.

Joe,
Tell me what it is about the last eight years that you like so much. You are not paying attention. Obama’s plan to address every issue are laid out in great detail on his website, www.barackobama.com. McCain plans to continue the same failed policies of Bush. Do you want a man who graduated at the bottom of his class at Annapolis or one who graduated at the top of his class from Harvard Law School? Are you really that uninformed?
P.S. I am also a Navy Viet Nam veteran and most of us are for Obama because McCain has voted against every veterans bill. The Republicans are great at running campaigns but lousy at running the country. Check out a liitle history.
