Tina Fey crossing the line?

I think we all can admit that Tina Fey does as excellent job at impersonating Sarah Palin and making fun of her on SNL. She definitely looks very similar to the politician, she's got her twangy voice down, and the jokes are just hilarious. 

But have the skits gone to far? Many people feel differently, some say that it's just a skit, and it's SNL's job to make fun of such ideas, and there isn't really a personal attack. They also say that famous people should just get used to it, because the mockery is going to happen no matter what.

Others say that Palin has done this to herself,  because most of the stuff she has done makes it so easy for her to be made fun of (amNewYork).

In my opinion, I agree with both. I think that skits like those on SNL should not be taken so seriously or as personal attack, yet Palin is an easy target for SNL to make fun of. I also think that Fey's amazing impression of Palin could have even changed people's minds about Palin, and even have made people judge her. 

I also feel that Fey's impression has also helped the democrats. This could be because Americans knew so little about Palin before she was chosen as VP nominee, that many people found out information about Palin through the SNL mockery of her. 

Even if Fey's mockery of SNL doesn't change their mind about Sarah Palin in a negative way, the goof-ball image of her will always be remembered in American eyes. 

But mockery is always made of famous people, whether their a celebrity if politician, and it's not really a big deal. Even supporters may dislike mockery that make's fun of whoever their supporting. So it can't really hurt that much. 

So will Fey's mockery ruin McCain and Palin's chance to be in the White House. Overall, I'd say no, because people usually don't take SNL too seriously, but the skits may not really help them. There are a lot more important things to judge your potential president or vice president on than just the jokes that are made of them.
