Accepting the award, Fey acknowledged the politico she so deftly lampooned saying, “Mrs. Palin is an inspiration to working mothers everywhere because she bailed on her job right before Fourth of July weekend. You are living my dream. Thank you, Mrs. Palin.” At next Sunday’s Primetime Emmys, Fey defends her lead actress and series wins.
