Tina Fey told TVGuide she'll be "done" if John McCain and Sarah Palin win the election next month.

The "SNL" veteran who has come back to play the Republican Vice Presidential candidate (and whose own show, "30 Rock," is still nowhere to be seen), said, "We're gonna take it week by week. If she wins, I'm done. I can't do that for four years. And by 'I'm done,' I mean I'm leaving Earth."

Fey also said it's a busy but exciting time for "SNL."

"Election time is always good for [SNL] and this is a bonkers election," she said. "And that lady is a media star. She is a fascinating person, she's very likeable. She's fun to play, and the two bits with Amy [Poehler], that was super fun," Fey says.

Georgia Congressman and Civil Rights Leader John Lewis has obviously had enough of this weeks hate rhetoric being spewed by the McCain-Palin Campaign.

In a statement today Lewis said:

"As one who was a victim of violence and hate during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, I am deeply disturbed by the negative tone of the McCain-Palin campaign," Lewis said in a statement. "Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are sowing the seeds of hatred and division, and there is no need for this hostility in our political discourse.

During another period, in the not too distant past, there was a governor of the state of Alabama named George Wallace who also became a presidential candidate. George Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights. Because of this atmosphere of hate, four little girls were killed on Sunday morning when a church was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama.

As public figures with the power to influence and persuade, Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin are playing with fire, and if they are not careful, that fire will consume us all. They are playing a very dangerous game that disregards the value of the political process and cheapens our entire democracy. We can do better. The American people deserve better."

McCain and Palin have ramped up their negative remarks to the point that their supporters have felt totally free to shout terms such as McCain and Palin, supporters have shouted "traitor," "terrorist," "treason," "liar" and even "off with his head."

McCain and Palin have created such a comfort zone of hate at their rallies that one woman who was handed the microphone by John McCain said that ""I can't trust Obama. He's an Arab." McCain retrived the microphone and said, "No, ma'am. No, ma'am. He's not, he's a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues."

McCain must really not like Arabs, because after he and "Obama pallin' around with terroists" Palin have called the Senator everything but a child of God this week, even he drew the line at Arab.

Last night MSNBC's Keith Olbermann used the end of his show "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" to play 'all's fair in love and war' with Sarah Palin. Olbermann took the time to respond to Palin's claim that Senator Barack Obama has been "pallin' around with terrorists"

I see that Ms. Mouth All Mighty Tongue Everlasting Sarah Palin can stick and move when she's surrounded by her crew, but she won't sit her moose hunting behind down in a chair with the rest of the candidates on Sunday morning and discuss all of the smack she laid out last Wednesday evening at the RNC.

Put up or shut up Sarah Palin!

I'm not in love with John McCain, but at the very least he'll look you in your eye when he fantasizes.

The Los Angeles Times "Top Of The Ticket" wrote the following post:

Sarah Palin will be missing from action Sunday a.m.

As is The Ticket's custom, a post listing the entire roster of appearances on this Sunday's interview programs will pop up Saturday at noon PDT (3 p.m. EDT).

But here's an advance heads up, in part because of who WON'T be found on any of the chat shows.

Three of the four now-official candidates on the major-party presidential tickets are scheduled to sit down for questions: Democrat Barack Obama on ABC's "This Week," his running mate, Joe Biden, on NBC's "Meet the Press" and Republican John McCain on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Absent from this list, of course, is the GOP's star of the moment, the not-so-long-ago obscure governor of Alaska who is McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin.

Since she was thrust onto the national stage a week ago, her appearances on it have been tightly regulated by the McCain campaign: a few side-by-side campaign stops with him and, of course, her big speech to the GOP's convention Wednesday night.

Today, top McCain aide Rick Davis indicated the campaign isn't in any hurry to slot Palin for a Sunday show appearance -- and will do so only if he and other strategists determine it serves the ticket's purposes, not because some may view it as a required initiation for a major political player.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show, Davis said, "I'd never commit to anything in the future. ... Our strategy is in our hands, not the media's. We're going to do what's in our best interests to try to win the election. If we think going on TV news shows are [sic] in our best interests, we'll do it. If we don't, we won't."

Palin still will be busy this weekend. She'll campaign Saturday with McCain in two key states -- Colorado and New Mexico -- and she'll deliver his campaign's weekly radio address. That's one of those trappings of the presidency McCain has borrowed (notwithstanding the barbs his forces like to sling at Obama along these lines).
