ROFL - But what makes this even funnier for me was to listen and realize that if this were not Palin’s words, that if this were presented in a mock “Beat” poetry reading without the Palin connection, I could imagine the reading being regarded with genuine and enthusiastic oohs, ahs, applause, and a few laughs.

So!
ROFL,
Scary,
Laughy.
cha-cha-cha-kos!
Beats’ BEAT,
Red Meat!
ha-ha-ha-kos!

hello. i would like to see this schtick doing his mockery on reality doing something positive: alike the oil companies sweeping under the carpet the oil speculator illegalities at Goldenham Sacksofbucks. or because they pay his salary, and we know whatever tremendous amount of money he has from his God given ability to speak, he just does not have enough. so he can not slam the price fixing; supply controlling; cancer causing oil industry that is paying him to mock Sarah Palin. what luck to have been Kirk: a man with noble direction; for awhile.

I really hope that Sarah Palin remains a spokesperson for the Republican Party.  I dream of a time where she and M. Bachman get together for a press conference.  A veritable smorgasbord of lunacy which will keep comedians busy for weeks, perhaps months.
It proves once again that all conservatives are not idiots, but most idiots are conservatives.

Check out Bill’s other masterpieces—throughout his career he’s covered quite a few hit songs, including “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” and my personal favourite, “Rocketman.” As a warning, I like to play this stuff with Alvin and the Chipmunks, simultaneously. It’s less damaging that way.

Oh, that was FUNNY!  Bill Shatner didn’t even have to ham it up to make it work…Just like Tina Fey, he just let Sarah Palin’s idiotic rantings carry the day!
