Fountain of Joys

有這麼嚴重嗎 ＞＜
                                                                               
Comedienne Tina Fey has been blamed for the Republican party’s
recent slip in the polls ahead of the U.S. presidential election,
after impersonating vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin on
comedy sketch series Saturday Night Live.
                                                                               
(自己民調下滑怪到模仿的人身上?)
                                                                               
According to a recent poll taken by the Washington Times, the
“Tina Fey effect” has turned supporters off the Alaskan governor
and her running-mate, presidential candidate John McCain.
                                                                               
(居然有所謂『Tina Fey effect』，看這個人的模仿有多成功。XD)
                                                                               
Political scientist Jerald Podair tells the New York Post:
“Presidential impersonators do influence elections, and in this
one, Tina Fey is well on her way to ruining Sarah Palin’s political
career. In a political culture that takes its cues from popular
culture, a good impersonator may be worth a million votes.
                                                                               
(選民如果真的有這麼受模仿節目的操縱就好了>”<)
                                                                               
“The parodies may have done a bit of damage. People remember
Gerald Ford through the prism of Chevy Chase. Ford was among our
most athletic presidents, and he had a wide-ranging knowledge of
public-policy issues. But because of SNL, many came to think of
him as a buffoon.”
                                                                               
But the reviews have yet to effect Palin’s own praise of Fey, with
rumours still swirling the politician will make a cameo alongside
the comedienne on the show.
                                                                               
Earlier this month, Palin told reporters she would be open to make
an appearance, adding: “I love her, she’s a hoot (fun) and she’s so
talented. It would be fun to meet her, imitate her and keep on giving
her new material.”
                                                                               
(政治人物的雅量。這台灣許多政治人物都有。:p)
                                                                               
                                                                               
Anyway，這個報導對我來說，
真是無敵拉抬Tina的聲勢與地位啊～    
                                                                                
                                                                                
最後我們當然要看一下Tina Fey與好姐妹Amy Poehler的精采模仿。
