Writer's Block: Tina Fey
"Striking resemblance"?
As entertained as I've been by Fey's take on Caribou Barbie --- "Fancy pageant walkin' " is the funniest three-word phrase I've heard all year --- it's time for a little perspective. Pundits and others have practically professed to seeing double, but Tina Fey's facial features are nothing like the Governor's. Eyes, jawline, nose, lips --- all distinct from those of the target. Fey's impression is 10% about Palin's appearance, and 90% about her mannerisms, voice, and attitude.
Oh, and to answer the question: No. Fey's already buried the impression, demonstrating a clear knowledge of the law of diminishing returns.
