Fey says in most all of her interviews that the "Feylin" thing was something she basically was begged to do by Lorne Michaels. I loved the impressions and she obviously did a great job. I think the cover is a great way to poke fun of America over the controversy that the skits were what swayed the vote. Who honestly knows? I don't think the cover has anything to do with trying to portray Fey as a "I bleed red, white & blue" type, but maybe the opposite? Don't get me wrong, she's very unlikely to be an anarchist, but I think from interviews I've read of hers, that she probably has a great way of questioning things that go on in our country which is kind of ideal, right? It's all very political, and I'm so very not. All that to say that I believe it's supposed to be politically comical. She's part comidian, part actor, part writer, part mother, part GENIUS!!! GO FEY!

Is that honestly the cover?? I'm on a serious feminist kick--what's with the "sweetheart" business? She's a funny woman who has made it to the top of her profession. Why can't they dress her like that? Oh VOMIT. Is that honestly the cover?? I'm on a serious feminist kick--what's with the "sweetheart" business?
