Tina Fey Fan Club

What is it about Tina Fey?

Is it that she's a writer and humorist who remains relevant without being vapid?


Is it her creation and portrayal of Liz Lemon who personifies the awkwardness of being a successful woman in the oughts of the 21st century?


Or is it her recent interviews that prove her to be smart and savvy to the curious trappings of celebrity culture?

Who else can articulate the silly aspects of Oprahmania or make a feature film about infertility that is a comedy?

p.s. post title links to Jezebel with fave excerpts from Fey's current press junket.

Call it an F (as in feminist) Bomb

Saturday Night Live Women's News Update
Loved this piece despite my ambivalence regarding Hillary Clinton's presidential nomination pursuit. Endorsement or not, here is the gist of my takeaway:

Bitches Get Stuff Done

If you haven's seen the skit, here's the link to SNL site (it was pulled from You Tube).

Also, for the time-challenged, an excerpt:

FEY: Maybe what bothers me the most is that people say that Hillary is a bitch.
Let me say something about that: Yeah, she is.

And so am I and so is this one. (pointing to Amy Poehler)

POEHLER: Yeah, deal with it.

FEY: Know what? Bitches get stuff done.
(Amy says yeah and starts nodding her head, together they get in a rhythm, with Amy saying in response, more yeahs, uh huhs, with a ‘you go girl’ style)

Like back in grammar school,
they could have had priests teaching you but, no,
they had those tough old nuns who slept on cots
and who could hit ya and you HATED those bitches
But at the end of the school year
you sure KNEW the capital of Vermont!
