William Shatner Does Sarah Palin in Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien Video

Hi-Larious! Reminds me of Shat speaking in Esperanto and his short but strange and wonderful recording career. As for those who don’t like: “How Insensitive!!”

that was 1 of the funniest things i’ve ever seen and shows what a idiot sarah palin is,i laughed so hard durring the whole thing shatner did,it was great

“Oh, how I would have LOVED LOVED LOVED closed captioning on this!!! I have NO IDEA WHAT HE SAID.”

Nobody had any idea what Palin said, either. Must have gotten ahold of some bad moose meat while writing her speech.

what do people expect from goverment run media, come lets hear some BHO jokes or better yet some Michelle my bell jokes or some dumb bell Biden one liners

you left are just a bunch of chit talking morons with little class , Sara has more smarts and morols than all the left put together ,If Daved L. had talked about my teenage dougher as he did hers , I would go visit the scum bag ,and see how funny that would have been , easy to trash talk and harder to be a good person , the left = Homo’s, welfare , lazy..brainless and gluless to working for a living …

lol dumb !!

Anyway, I liked the excerpt. It wasn’t really meant to insult Palin. It was just a joke because of how candid she’s being. Palin was talking like she was free to say what she wanted. I’ve always liked that about certain politicians who can just say what’s on their mind without glittering up the words or saying them just right. I like it when they talk like they are people too. I like when they talk like they are free to say whatever to me.

If you look at how she was talking, she was talking candidly, like she was just discussing things with a group of friends. Maybe she held back some opinions, but no one bears all their opinions to even their friends in a single discussion.

But you liberals will still hate her even if she brought world peace because you are told to. You are told what to think and how to think it. That’s why you hate her, not because she deserves it. She’s spotless, and even has a reputation for getting rid of corruption, but you will still hate her because you are told what to think and how to think. And that’s where you are comfortable.

“Liberals like being manipulated and told what to think.”

Thanks, Jeremy; I’m sure you came up with that observation completely on your own, and not from extensive exposure to right-wing TV, radio, books, etc who tell you who “liberals” are. Any other projections you’d like to share with the class?*

*if you don’t know what that means, I’ll explain in simpler terms: “I know you are, but what am I.” George Soros, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Streisand, the editors of the NY Times and my secret UN/satanic overlords told me to say that.

Hi Ron,
It’s cool to call for everyone to stick to “funny or not” and set aside politics, especially since Conan picked a non-political part of Palin’s speech.

But then why do you feel the strange need to make blanket assertions about senses of humor? Do any of you actually know liberals, except the ones you argue with? We can be fun folks, but it’s kinda hard to tell if you open the conversation by accusing us of being ignorant, lazy, humorless, “gluless” puppets (and that’s just what was said here in the small handful of comments).

Sarah Palin is the most honorable politician you will find. Note how you still can’t let her go even without a position of power. What’s with that? Thinking she’s ridiculous shows your moral compass aimlessly spinning. (You do fall for mass media spin after all.)

Have you ever read Maya Angelou? or Ai? You probably think they’re “brilliant.” Sarah Palin was talking to an audience of Alaskans with a flowery love of our state. If you didn’t have such a bigoted world view, you might just understand that this was meaningful to her audience.

The real question: when have you laughed at Obama’s “uhhhhhing” and Michelle dropping her “g’s” with ‘certain’ crowds? Would a late show writer do something with those, please?

OK, Dom. Here’s my take:
Biden loves to hear himself speak, and has a stupid habit of making mis-statements when speaking off the cuff, but he has a long and respected history as a Senator. Palin has a thin resume and a consistent recent history of proving incapable of producing two complete and coherent sentences on a single topic. Every time she opens her mouth, the negative reactions to her increase.

It’s astonishing to me that the right wing has embraced Palin. A generation ago, the GOP was able to recognize that the similar Dan Quayle was, at core, unfit for top office. He faded from the national scene pretty quietly after 1992. Is Palin — a less educated, less articulate, less experienced version of GW Bush — really the best you can do? For example, I dislike my governor Tim Pawlenty, but the guy has actually governed for more than two minutes, and is articulate. Ditto for Huckabee, or Romney, or Rice. And Jindahl’s one bad speech shouldn’t disqualify him from future consideration.

But these folks don’t play the victim like Palin does; is that what is so appealing to you? Tying it back to my other comments — is it really all about blaming and despising liberals? Intellectually, is there nothing remaining of the right wing in this country except that?
