I've long been a huge fan of Tina Fey and she continues to impress me. I haven't seen this posted on the Daily Kos yet, so I thought I'd put up a quick diary to highlight it. Tina Fey (not her on-screen counterpart Liz Lemon), but the real Tina Fey opens up on all of the idiots who want to re-define rape in their own twisted, sick, faux-religious way. Tina rips em' with with style and wit like no one else.
More below the Kos-o-curly thing...
"I wish we could have an honest and respectful dialog about these complicated issues, but it seems like we can't right now...and if I have to listen to one more grey-faced man with a $2 hair cut explain to me what rape is... I'm going to lose my mind!"
“I, I watch these guys and I’m like, what is happening? Am I secretary on Mad Men? What is happening?”
“Todd Akin. Oof. This guy, Todd Akin claims that women can’t really get pregnant from a legitimate rape because the body secretes hormones. ....Now I can’t even finish this sentence without getting dumber.... making me dumber when I say it"
"But it’s something about the body not being able to get pregnant when it’s under physical stress.”
“Mr. Akin, I think you are confusing the phrase legitimate rape with the phrase ‘competitive gymnastics.’”
Sooo.. I continue to adore Tina Fey. Thank you Tina!
(for the record, I'm a straight guy here, lovely wife and two beautiful daughters, but have always thought Tina Fey combines smart/sexy better than any current celebrity and I've long had a crush on her!)
