Sarah Palin Thinks Tina Fey Owes Her for Impersonation Stints

The infamous Saturday Night Live Impersonations have irked Sarah Palin yet again. The erstwhile vice presidential candidate called on Tina Fey's impersonating her, saying Fey should at least pay for her kids' braces because she capitalized on the impersonation stints.

Fey began impersonating Palin during the 2008 presidential elections when the latter was running for vice president alongside John McCain. Also in the skit was Amy Poehler, who played the role of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

In a recent interview with Tom Shales and James Miller for the release of the latest edition of the book 'Live From New York', Palin exclaimed that Fey owes her one. She noted that Fey capitalized on her and that she has made a lot of money pretending to be her, so Fey should at least pay for her kids' braces.

Aside from taking a shot at Fey, Palin added that the producers of SNL are egotistical that the skit had affected the elections back then. Palin noted hating how she was portrayed as an idiot.

A study called the "Fey Effect" showed that the impersonations of Palin as an idiot had tipped the electoral scales against Palin in 2008.

This was not the first time that Palin called on Fey. In 2009, Palin said in an interview that Fey's being named as Entertainer of the Year had perplexed her. She thought it said a great deal about our society.

Fey has yet to comment on Palin's recent shot at her.
