Sarah Palin Maybe Knows Who Tina Fey is Maybe

Yesterday, Vice-President-to-be Sarah Palin sat down with one of the most respected journalists on television — Fox News' Sean Hannity — to answer some tough questions.

Questions like "What are your plans to deal with Ayman al-Zawahiri?" and "How can the United States most responsibly protect the people of Iraq, while also balancing our own national security?"

No, I'm kidding, He asked things more like "Do you think America is more outrageously awesome or awesomely outrageous?" and "Did you watch Tina Fey on 'Saturday Night Live'?"

And her answer was as pitch-perfect as you'd expect…

HANNITY: Did you watch Tina Fey on "Saturday Night Live"?

PALIN: I watched with the volume all the way down and I thought it was hilarious, she was spot on.

HANNITY: Do you think you could play her one day?

PALIN: Oh absolutely. It was hilarious. Again, I didn't hear a word she said, but the visual was spot on.

What?

I mean… What?

Okay, so, maybe they've never heard of Tina Fey up in Alaska. Because, as far as I could tell, Tina Fey looked like Tina Fey. Sure, Tina Fey also looks like Sarah Palin, but, unless you didn't know that, you wouldn't think just looking at her standing on stage "with the volume all the way down" would be "hilarious."

So, she doesn't know who Tina Fey is, right?

HANNITY: Has anyone ever said that before? There's a similarity…

PALIN: They've been saying that for years up in Alaska. In fact, I dressed up as Tina Fey once for Halloween. We've been doing that before Tina Fey's being doing that.

How the shit is Sarah Palin gonna dress up as Tina Fey for Halloween? Doesn't she dress up as Tina Fey every morning when she wakes up and puts her Tina Fey-looking glasses on her Tina Fey-looking face?

Oh, wait a minute. This gives me an idea!

I'm gonna dress up as Dennis DiClaudio for Halloween.

That guy's hilarious-looking!
