Following up on Sarah Palin's ratings-grabbing SNL appearance, CNN has a report on what's being called The Fey Effect, a phenomenon whereby Tina Fey's startlingly accurate impression of Palin actually costs the GOP ticket votes…

Well, that's certainly unfair. I mean, if not for Tina Fey, America would surely see Sarah Palin as a sharp, experienced, well-spoken, non-polarizing person.

So when the Obama administration forces your kids to read The Communist Manifesto in NAMBLA class at their Madrassa, remember to blame Tina Fey.
