amd_fey.thumbnail.jpgWhen accepting her Golden Globe award on Sunday, Tina Fey had a few choice words for blog commenters at The Envelope:

I want to say thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press. I’ll always love the Hollywood Foreign Press and have all the Hollywood Foreign Press action figures. Thank you, Will Arnett, for that joke. But I want you to really know how lucky I am to have the year I’ve had this year and, if you ever start to feel too good about yourself, they have this thing called the Internet! You can find a lot of people there who don’t like you! I’d like to address some of them now! BabsonLacrosse, you can suck it. DianeFan, you can suck it. Cougar Lover, you can really suck it ’cause you’ve been after me all year. And to my husband, Jeff, I love you. Thank you very much! "

Says the NY Daily News:

Hopefully firing back at the blogs on stage was cathartic enough for Fey to move on.

I don’t think they quite got the joke:

By turns aggravated and bemused, Palin complained in the video that her press office is still getting calls about rumors that she is not the mother of her infant son. She called this "quite absurd," saying she is "frustrated that I wasn’t believed that Trig was really my son.

"When did we start accepting as hard news sources bloggers, anonymous bloggers especially? It’s a sad state of affairs in the world of the media today, mainstream media especially, that they’re going to rely on bloggers, anonymous bloggers, for their hard news information."

And:

Bored, anonymous, pathetic bloggers who lie annoy me….

Boehlert:

[T]he simple fact is the mainstream media did not spread the pregnancy story. Nor, contrary to Palin’s accusation, were liberal bloggers responsible for it. Most A-list bloggers actively avoided the story, and some online writers even publicly decried the rumor when it first surfaced. It was actually some over-eager diarists (i.e. blog readers who are free to write pretty much whatever they want online) who helped hatch and amplify the story. And it was one high-profile mainstream blogger, from outside the liberal netroots community, who stepped forward to promote it. 

Funny ha-ha.
