Mad Men: 'Chevy Is Spelled Wrong!'
Who Should Play Christian & Anastasia In 'Fifty Shades Of Grey'?
In a taped ceremony of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Sunday, PBS chopped recipient Tina Fey's remarks regarding Sarah Palin. Now an executive producer of the broadcast tells the Washington Post the move had nothing to do with politics."It was not a political decision," Peter Kaminsky says. "We had zero problems with anything she said."
Kaminsky says the 90-minute show ran almost 20 minutes over time. "We took a lot out. We snipped from everyone."
The specific "snips" Fey's speech incurred are apt to raise eyebrows, though. Read on.
Then she forged ahead to more brazenly anti-Palin territory: "Politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women ... unless you're a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years -- whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. Unless you believe in evolution. You know, actually, I take it back. The whole thing's a disaster."

Oh what a shame! Dying all alone and manless! You mean I won't have to clean up after a man or make him a sandwich? But instead I can go out and travel the world? Sign me up for being manless if that's the case!
Dude, you sound like a product of incest. You shagging yer relations, hoss? ;) Or you just gettin' a TEA-bag? Whoooooooooweeeeeeee!
Like most liberals, she believes that everyone has a right to their opinion, except those that disagree with her opinion.
Voltaire would be proud.

It sounds like you don't think she is entitled to have an opinion the conflicts with your opinion.
No, Voltaire would not, and Mark Twain certainly wouldn't.
Right....Tina Fey is really just a jealous, bitter person...like Joy Blowhard.
You got half way. Let's face it its the conservatives who have no tolerance for anyone who disagrees with their beliefs. Its called being a hypocrite.
Right on Ronald... Isn't it the truth. The left seems to rule the TV and get down right nasty when others don't share their views. Since the Right represents nearly half of America, wouldn't it be better to keep their pie holes shut? Few celebrities qualify as role models in any area. I think they over rate their importance in the world.
My God! A Republican intelligent enough to have read Voltaire. Break out the News!
Sarah Palin didn't have to pay anyone off. This is PBS's attempt to stay "under the radar" as their "political leanings" are under review after the Juan Williams debacle. Its very simple, PBS would rather keep receiving our tax dollars, which Congress could stop funding, than support Tina Fey's leftist rant. Didn't liberals get the memo? The liberal's crap was rejected on election day.

Amen. Well said.
"Rejected on election day"?
Less than 40% of the population voted!!!
I voted on Election Day on the Democratic ticket. At least I gave it the old college try ... too bad so many people can't wait anymore for America to have their first woman president. When Sarah finally gets her way, she'll also mess up the country. I can't wait to say "I told you so!" if that ever happens.
@ Blonde Ambition: Substitute the word "woman" with "black man" and the word "Palin" with Obama and then you might have gotten it right. We don't need to say "I told you so." I think this past election got that point across loud and clear.
Tina Fey "Do it to it". Make the money now because Sarah Palin she will be gone soon enough. Like house guest and fish they all stink after being around too long. She needs to go back above the 38th where she belongs.

Your mom's a joke.
she a'int yo sista fool.
PBS can claim all until their eyes glaze over that cutting Fey's remarks was not political. Of course, it was. Do the network suits think we're all stupid. PBS has never had any guts. That's why I quit donating.
