Palin spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt told CBS News: “She thought it was quite funny, [SNL appearance by Tina Fey.] particularly because she once dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween.”

I, um, don’t believe her.  There was a reason that the initial pop cultural psyche pulse to the Sarah Palin introduction onto the national political scene was, “OH MY GOD!  Saturday Night Live HAS to bring back Tina Fey!”  Which was probably the first thought that popped into the mind of Lorne Michaels and Tina Fey.  The basic problem is that Tina Fey an amp up a couple of traits to better cariacture Sarah Palin enough to evoke her, while I fail to see how Sarah Palin can do the same thing for Tina Fey, and make a clear evocation of someone who is at, any rate, not at top of mind awareness.

As an aside, take a note of the first post-articleblip sentence from the Weekly Standard found over here.
