Tina Fey returns as Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live, Justin Bieber performs

The latest episode of “Saturday Night Live” (April 10) was quite interesting.

Tina Fey returned to the show and performed another Sarah Palin skit.  She perfected that role as usual.

Meanwhile, teen singer Justin Bieber was the musical guest, and he also performed a comedic skit with Fey.

Fey’s portrays a teacher who has a crush on Bieber’s character.  A clip of the two skits is posted below.


Sarah Palin lashes out at “Family Guy”

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin believes “Family Guy” crossed the line during an episode that aired earlier this month. 

In one episode, a character named Chris went on a date with a girl who has Down Syndrome.  Chris asks the girl what her parent’s do for a living. 

The girl replied “My dad’s an accountant, and my mom is the former governor of Alaska.” 

As we all know, Palin is the former governor of Alaska, and she has son who has Down Syndrome.  Palin is lashing out at “Family Guy” because she feels the show was mocking her son Trig. 

I watched the “Family Guy” clip, and I thought it was distasteful.  In the past, I’ve applauded “Family Guy” producers for not shying away from controversy. 

No person or topic is off limits when it comes to that show.  But using satire to mock a child with Down Syndrome is below the belt.

You can make fun of Palin for being viewed as an unqualified politician or for the fact she recently wrote notes on her hand to help her during a speech.  But her infant child should be off limits.

Palin has released statements and been on television shows lashing out at the “Family Guy” episode.  Ironicallly, Palin has a job as a political analyist on the Fox News network,  and “Family Guy” airs on the Fox television network. 

Both networks are owned by Rupert Murdoch.  Maybe Palin should complain to Murdoch too since he has some authority over “Family Guy.”

Levi Johnston has officially proven that he’s an attention-seeker and will do anything to remain in the spotlight.

According to People magazine, Johnston will pose nude for an upcoming issue of Playgirl magazine. 

Johnston, 19, has been in the gym working out three hours a day to prepare for his photo shoot, according to the magazine. 

Johnston was thrust into the national spotlight last year during the presidential campaign when he had a baby with Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol Palin. 

Bristol was 17 years old at the time.  The couple eventually broke off their engagement, and Johnston sought to expand his 15 minutes of fame by hitting the media circuit to bash the Palin family.

His Playgirl issue will probably expand his 15 minutes for a few months, then he likely will fade back into obscurity.
