Chicks Aren't Funny: Betty White, Tina Fey, Sarah Palin comedy trifecta!

Dear Sarah Palin,
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for being the woman you are. That's right, for being a gun-toting, anti-choice religious zealot who's totally down for seceding from the union. If you weren't such a dangerous hoot, we wouldn't have the benefit of seeing the true genius of Tina Fey.
No doubt, women as funny and talented as Tina Fey have come through the comedy world before; but they did not have characters as powerful as you, Sarah, to use as springboards. Thanks to you, Tina Fey's strengths not only as a comedian, but as a writer and cultural commentator, have been made plain to a nation full of women who need someone other than, well, women like you, Sarah, to look up to.
That said, there really is nothing like watching Betty White call you a crazy bitch on the Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson ('bout 4:40 into the below video.) Thanks for bringing two of America's funniest women together.
Sincerely,
Andrea Grimes
