Sarah Palin offers to let Bristol babysit for Tina Fey
Filed under: Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents
When Tina Fey couldn't find a sitter for her three-year-old Alice during a recent cameo on Saturday Night Live, she got an unusual offer. Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin, who was on set to make an appearance, asked Tina if she'd managed to find someone, because, you know, if she hadn't, Bristol would have watched the girl for her.
I can just imagine Bristol standing behind Tina Fey, shaking her head furiously, mouthing to her mom, "NO WAY. NO MOM. STOP."
Tina was taken back a bit, not only by the somewhat over-friendliness of the gesture, but also by how weird it would be to have Bristol, the daughter of the woman Tina's been "goofing on" for weeks watch her baby. Forget that, I wonder how weird it had to be for Tina to meet Sarah Palin in the first place! Awkward.
Tina does such a spot on impression of Gov. Palin that even little Alice gets confused when she sees pictures of both women. Watch Tina talk about it with Conan O'Brien in the video below.

Joy said...Isn't it an interesting concept that behind all the muck, Sarah Palin is a nice person??

I also don't trust the teen down the street who had "just one incident" of public intoxication, or the teen who visited porn websites "accidentally" when babysitting for a friend of mine. All these kids have demonstrated bad judgement (Palin's included) and my kids deserve better than that. I'm sure that's what Tina Fey thought too.

SKL said...Ha, like Obama's mama? You never know how the kids are going to come out with a start like that.

Joy said...Good luck finding babysitters. Your sitting pretty high up on your horse!

Joy said...You obviously didn't watch the video clip. Tina Fey said that Sarah Palin was very nice but her daughter had already been taken home. It's nice to know though that you assume to know what someone else is thinking.

CLM said...I don't think it was nice of Sarah Palin to offer her daughter's services without asking her daughter first. My mother did that to me once when I was about Bristol's age, forgetting that she had already said I could go out with my friends that night. Needless to say, she ended up being the babysitter. My point is, if her daughter is old enough to be getting married, she is old enough to be treated like an adult. I don't volunteer anyone for anything without first securing his/her ok.

Rachel said...Are you sure it wasn't Willow that offered?
I haven't seen Bristol since the Republican nomination.
WHERE IS SHE?
Is she back in Alaska?
Willow, Piper, Trig and Todd are always around but where
is their just turned 18 year old daughter, Bristol.
(Her baby is due the middle of December.)
