Watch the full episode. See more Mark Twain Prize.
Tina Fey was awarded the coveted Mark Twain Prize for Humor last week. PBS actually cut a controversial bit Fey did about Palin and the success of conservative women when the award ceremony was broadcast.
The joke in question entertains the idea that Palin's success would be a good thing for womankind, but then interjects jabs at conservative views on sexuality, health care, and creationism:
"And, you know, politics aside, the success of Sarah Palin and women like her is good for all women - except, of course --those who will end up, you know, like, paying for their own rape 'kit 'n' stuff, But for everybody else, it's a win-win. Unless you're a gay woman who wants to marry your partner of 20 years - whatever. But for most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us. Unless you believe in evolution. You know - actually, I take it back. The whole thing's a disaster."
Watch Fey receive her award below, and hear her remarks about Palin around the 12:30 mark.
