    i don’t have any specifics or youtube clips to offer up, but i’m pretty sure they’ve done that before, referred to her as “tina” in promos. maybe during the election lead-up when she was on nbc mostly non-stop?

    It’s amazing how even these promos make me laugh like a loon (except for Earl).
