Tina Fey: Sarah Palin impression wasn't 'mean' (Now with bonus scar story!)

Tina Fey is standing by her Sarah Palin impressions and claims they weren't mean-spirited. In an interview with Barbara Walters, Tina defends her portrayal of the sassy Alaska governor who either captivated your heart or frightened the living piss out of of you. Hollyscoop reports:
Voted one of Barbara Walters "10 Most Fascinating People of 2008," Tina told Babs: "I never did feel that we were mean to her. We stuck to a lot of things that she herself had said, and I think there is a very strange double standard because it's a woman portraying another woman. The jokes we used to do about George W. Bush were that he was an idiot. The jokes were aggressive. No one would ever stop and say, 'Oh, that seems kind of mean.' "
"A very strange double standard because it's a woman." Oh, boy, here we go. It's 2008, Tina, not the 1970s. Men and women are completely equal now. In fact, once my secretary brings her sweet tush in here with my coffee, I'll bring you up to speed. UPDATE: The AP is reporting Tina Fey's husband has revealed how she got her scar. Apparently, a stranger walked up to her when she was five and slashed her face while she was playing outside. Jesus Christ! Tina never wanted to talk about it for fear of exploiting the situation. Wow. And she's absolutely right, because knowing this, Tina Fey could do an impression of me where I'm a transsexual dolphin, and I'd laugh and go "That's so me! That is sooo me."
