Melbourne
(ANI):
American
actress
Tina
Fey"s
attack
on
former
Alaska
governor
Sarah
Palin
when
she
accepted
a
televised
award
has
been
edited
from
the
broadcast.
According
to
the
Washington
post,
when
the
broadcast
of
the
Mark
Twain
award
at
the
Kennedy
Centre
in
Washington
DC
went
on
air,
several
of
Fey"s
caustic
comments
were
edited
out.
“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,"
the
Daily
Telegraph
quoted
her
as
saying.
“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,"
Frey
told
the
audience.
The
broadcast
version
on
PBS
only
included
Fey
thanking
Palin.
“I
would
be
a
liar
and
an
idiot
if
I
didn"t
thank
Sarah
Palin
for
helping
get
me
here
tonight.
My
partial
resemblance
and
her
crazy
voice
are
the
two
luckiest
things
that
ever
happened
to
me,"
Fey
is
heard
as
saying.
“All
kidding
aside,
I"m
so
proud
to
represent
American
humour,
I
am
proud
to
be
an
American,
and
I
am
proud
to
make
my
home
in
the
“not
real"
America.
“And
I
am
most
proud
that
during
trying
times,
like
an
orange
(terror)
alert,
a
bad
economy
or
a
contentious
election
that
we
as
a
nation
retain
our
sense
of
humour,"
she
was
heard
adding.
Peter
Kaminsky,
one
of
the
show"s
executive
producers,
said
it
was
not
a
political
decision,
and
that
the
90-minute
show
ran
about
19
minutes
long.
“We
had
zero
problems
with
anything
she
said.
We
took
a
lot
out.
We
snipped
from
everyone,"
she
added.
