Tina Fey Dissects Palin's Accent With a Sling Blade

Fri., Oct. 17, 2008 5:28 PM PDT by

So that's how she does it!

Tina Fey explains the intricacies of impersonating Sarah Palin's way-North twang during an appearance tonight on the Late Show With David Letterman—not that there's much to it, according to the Emmy winner.

"Not since Sling Blade has there been a voice that anybody could do," Fey explains, calling Palin's accent  "a little bit Fargo...a little bit Reese Witherspoon in Election" and comparing it to a "beautiful Alaskan wind song."

Oh, the blessed possibilities, if in fact Palin shows up to go wink to wink with Fey on tomorrow's episode of Saturday Night Live.
