Shatner Does Palin. A Study in Political Poetry.
THE POLITICS OF THE DAY escape rational critique. It is at these times a People embraces the commentary of jesters and radicals. Jon Stewart was recently named Most Trusted Man in the US media while Limbaugh, Dobbs, Beck, and O’Reilly compete for Most Crazy Old White Dude.
And not paying much mind to any of them, William “I’ll Always Be the Real Kirk” Shatner reads Alaska ex-Governor Sarah Palin’s goodbye…speech.

He actually made that sound kinda cool…
i like jon stewart too nez. he knows how to hit a bullseye.
i watched this poetry read last night online. i liked the ambiance that shatner, the hand drums, and the beatnik flavor gave to this. took me back to a time at the raven coffee house. i do think it gave the writer of the work more credit than deserved, but is is.
when one door is closed another is opened. my understanding is palin has plans, and will be joining the ranks of the crazy old white dudes. i can’t wait to see how her book does? can she write any better than she speaks is questionable? i’ll give her as much attention as i do now, or as i do those cracked outs you mention above, which is nada, zero, zilch, none. listening to any of them is like having a tooth pulled or the sound of scratching on the chalkboard for me.
peace, one love and pass it on…
