Tina Fey, Blabbermouth

Tina Fey's Slide

“ And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women – except, of course –those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape ‘kit ‘n’ stuff. But for everybody else, it’s a win-win. 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. [Tina Fey monologue cut by PBS] ”

The Post asks, "Was PBS shielding its viewers from Fey's more pointed remarks? And then asks, Was PBS right to edit Tina Fey's remarks on Sarah Palin? Protecting their own collective asses As to the former, If you've watched any PBS lately, you've noticed the hysterical (not funny hysterical, hysterical) pleas that go  - "Some members of Congress are trying to cut funding for all public television, like Sesame Street blah-blah please contact your representative or these shows will all disappear and who will baby-sit your children, -blah" So yes, PBS is aware that it's the very people - newly elected and subscribing to Palin's TeaParty instincts -  who will be, hopefully, yanking them off the public teat.  Viewers like you? As to the second question, was PBS right to edit?  Well,  who watches PBS anyway?   I don't have to add this, but will anyway.  No PBS program will go off the air if there's an audience for it.
