William Shatner Reads Palin's Tweets (VIDEO)

William Shatner appeared on the "Tonight Show" again last night, making Sarah Palin's oft-nutty tweets into poetry. Shatner had graced Conan's stage on Monday, reading Sarah's resignation speech in his typical Shatner way, with all the lilting and soft drum beats we've come to expect. The segment proved so popular that O'Brien invited him back to interpret the ex-governor's confusing Twitter messages for his audience.

Those tweets are as full of bombastic fluff as her exit speech.

Has the woman no sense of propriety? Did we really need to know that she wants to "Save a horse" and "Ride a cowboy"? Honestly, it finally hit me what she meant by big and rich when I was looking at my i-tunes today.

Beam me up, Scotty!

Shatner truly is a "Rock, It, Man!"

As the sunsets on a hopefully dimming career, one sighs. Grieves this loss. After all it is all about knowing the hope her star does not fade over Russia, as she does give us a good laugh.

As polar bears down the glacier fine, Moon travels to Russia on ships from outer space. No more, No more turkeys to find me here in a wondrous landscape...where I lost my purse to ancient sounds of Northern Augustine Borealas....And beads of purple tears find my face in gladness as I fish for sound of opportunity...I know no more of ....(let me get back to you....)

(Thank you Mr Shatner...)

In Alaska, I can the days cold w/ snow board and shoot my plane and the wolves because it's time to eat, join my table, moose stew. It's time in Alaska, cold, my favorite state that's why I'm here!

and, as the sun sinks slowly in the west, we recall the time pre-Palin when all sentences had verbs, punctuation and a point.

[copestir]

[elroybug]

LOL!!! Lord have mercy...how true and how pitiful.
