Tina Fey Wins an Emmy for Her Sarah Palin Impressions

by bartleby the scrivener |  Congratulations to Tina Fey!

Fey received an Emmy Award on Saturday for her impersonation of Republican vice presidential contender Sarah Palin on "Saturday Night Live."

Accepting her trophy for best guest actress in a comedy, Fey thanked "SNL" producer Lorne Michaels and her parents, "who are lifelong Republicans, for their patience."  (HuffPost)

Also:

Employing her award-winning Palin-speak, Fey then issued some serious dish at the departed governor of Alaska: "Mrs. Palin is an inspiration to working mothers everywhere because she bailed on her job right before Fourth of July weekend. You are living my dream. Thank you, Mrs. Palin." (Geoffrey Dunn)

But with no disrespect to Tina, the following video ("Bridge to Nowhere") -- by Harry Shearer's wife, Judith Owen, will always be my favorite Sarah Palin impression (because:  singing mooseheads!):
