Sarah Palin, as interpreted by William Shatner

On “This Week in Sarah Palin”, Sarah Palin’s extremely odd final speech as the governor of Alaska Sunday was interpreted by Master Thespian William Shatner for Conan O’Brien last night.  Genius.  You’re the man, Bill.  With the loss of this kind of leadership in America, no wonder whales are impaling themselves on innocent cruise ships harmlessly traveling the inside passage.

… and here’s the actual speech from which this iambic pentameter was excerpted:

Well, maybe I’m right about Sarah Palin.  Now returning to watching the evil media exert its power to influence and informing the electorate, don’tchaknow.  At least she hired a speech writer this time.

UPDATE *** NBC in their infinite wisdom deleted this fantastic promotion of their new Tonight Show from YouTube, invoking a cat & mouse game with the evil demons of the interweb … I’ll try to update this with working versions over the next few days.  There is also, of course, a version on Hulu that is only available to Merkins.
