Tina Fey’s ‘Pathetic’ Joke Not Funny Anymore, Says Bristol Palin

Tina Fey’s latest imitation of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin was described as “pathetic” by the politician’s daughter Bristol Palin. It looks as though the joke has gone on enough for the 25-year-old.

Tina Fey’s latest joke for Saturday Night Live mocks Palin’s endorsement of Donald Trump , but according to Bristol, even Fey’s “fake accent” isn’t good enough.

“[It’]s like nails on a chalkboard,” she wrote.

Commenting on Fey’s appearance and alluding to the fringe top wore by her mom for her speech, Bristol said it was “funny that the producers of SNL couldn’t get their hands on the same top [her] mom wore, because it was sold out.”

Fey’s looks and jokes were the subjects of a poll run by Bristol Palin in her latest blog post , “Who wore it better – Sarah Palin or Tina Fey?”

Bristol’s readers are fully disagreeing with her, however, as shown in her poll results. By Thursday morning, about 81 percent of the nearly 7,000 voters said Fey wore the top better.

“It’s getting pathetic. It’s been 7 years! Are they desperate for content?” she asked about the Saturday Night Live show where Fey premiered her latest Palin impressions.

So Bristol’s annoyed, and it’s easy to see why. Seven years of mockery of her mom can’t be easy to take and must get a little bit tiring, but let’s be honest, it’s not like Sarah isn’t asking for it?

In her Trump endorsement speech, the Alaska politician gave detractors more than one opportunity to make light of, shall we say, her best comments. So Fey didn’t hesitate one second in her skit to mock not only her accent and gesture but also Palin’s improvised rap lyrics.

Braver – or meaner, some would say – were Tina Fey’s comments about Sarah Palin’s son’s recent arrest, which his mom defended as a result of his PTSD. Palin went on to blame Barack Obama for not respecting Iraq veterans like her son and for not taking the condition seriously, rejecting responsibility for her son’s actions and not displaying an ounce of sympathy for his victim.

In reference to this ridiculous finger-pointing, Tina Fey didn’t hesitate to say, “We’ve seen our own children targeted by the police for no reason other than they committed some crimes.”

Following her latest comments, Bristol herself became the subject of sarcastic attacks, mainly on Twitter, where people didn’t hesitate to highlight her own finest hypocrisies.

Bristol Palin is upset over Tina Fey’s impression of her mom, but not upset at preaching abstinence and not practicing it. Good times!

Always a contentious subjects are Bristol’s preachings regarding abstinence before marriage when she has herself had two babies out of wedlock , as reported by TMZ .

She hasn’t seen the end of it, but nothing seems to perturb Bristol Palin, who goes on preaching via her blog, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. Her latest blog dissing Tina Fey has probably got her more attention than she deserved, but with people waiting for her around the corner of the internet platforms, she should probably watch her mouth before she comments next time — or risk being ridiculed again.
