Tina Fey: Adultery Is A Dealbreaker



Take that, Sarah Palin. (image via vanityfair)

Jeff Richmond, Tina Fey's husband, has some interesting things to say about their relationship in her Vanity Fair cover story (the interview is conducted by Maureen Dowd; photographs by the controversial Annie Liebowitz). From Vanity Fair:

"'I know how she feels about some things,' Richmond tells me over coffee one day at an Italian place around the corner from his house. 'Like, we never had to deal with any of this, but: adultery. Just looking at examples from other people’s lives, we know that anything like that, messing around, is just such a complete No to her. And she has her principles and she sticks to her principles more than anybody I’ve ever met in my life. Like that whole idea of, if you are in a relationship, there are deal breakers. There’s not a lot of gray area in being flirty with somebody.' She’s very black-and-white: 'We’re married — you can’t.' He calls their marriage 'borderline boring — in a good way.' And she concurs: 'I don’t enjoy any kind of danger or volatility. I don’t have that kind of I love the bad guys thing. No, no thank you. I like nice people.'"


Curiously the interview -- MoDowd interviewing Tina Fey, two of the funniest women around -- is in the very same magazine, exactly 2 years later, where Christopher Hitchens asserted that women, generally, aren't funny.
