Great job by both of them. I really liked it.

P.S. I know that we're not suppose to like anything about her, or anything she does. I know that already. So please don't attack me. I just thought that the clip was enjoyable to watch. That's all.

1. Her copycat response to Gore didn't impress me

Just saying.

[Fearless]

2. He's better, she's rushed.

Reminds me of Janet Reno and SNL... but less funny on her part.

[Dave From Canada]

3. Well, he is a professional actor, so that doesn't suprise me. She obviously isn't.

[Fearless]

4. Well...

Considering her persona, if it was an act it would probably be the greatest performance of all time. :rofl:

[Unca Jim]

5. Please!

They were both great; it was a well-written piece. Both their books are filled with goofy hyperbole. Of course Shatner did a better job reading, but that's his deal.

*Of course Sarah Palin is a vile human*, but she can do good things. It would be better for everyone is she were just an entertainer.

By the way, check out Shatner's talk show, "Raw Nerve", on BIO or go to his website and watch at http://www.biography.com/shatner/

His interview with Wayne Brady was phenomenal.

6. Well at least we know one thing she can read.

[Grassy Knoll]

7. Not a fan of Conan or his ass hat show.

Palintheass is good for a Krusty the Clown bit.

9. Clearly, it was a way to stick her thumb in Letterman's eye

And Conan loved that, too.

[Jack Rabbit]

8. She did that well

Frankly, I don't think much of Shatner as an actor, but he can do a tongue-in-cheek "poetry" reading quite well.

I think I'm well beyond the point where I would consider voting for Mrs. Palin, but I enjoyed that.

10. I hate to admit it, but...

...I really liked it. To be sure, I believe I would have liked it a tick more if, for instance, Janeane Garofalo had read the Shatner part, but...I did laugh throughout the clip. It's a shame she is, otherwise, a narrow-minded, pernicious little snot of a person, whose shallow intellect compels me to seriously pose the question, "could she tell her ass from a hole in the ground?".

Be still, I did laugh.

:smoke:

11. Well done Kirk

More credit to his writing style than her reading of it, yet
still enjoyable. I must get his book not hers. When he touched
his mouth I did think he was saying, "Beam me up..... 

[Still Blue in PDX]

12. Amazingly, I liked it, too.

From the first time I saw her I've been mystified by why anyone would like anything about her. I got a little glimmer there that there is a human being somewhere inside or underneath all that wrongheadedness.

[Qanisqineq]

13. Can't stand Palin normally

but for a few minutes, while watching this clip, I actually liked her. Then it disappeared.

[Divine Discontent]

14. fine, maybe I'm cruel - but I can't find any joy in her even 'playing around' - she's a vile nasty

hateful homophobic, anti-feminine, anti-science, crappy representation of a faithful human being...

I seriously got more annoyed as she went on - and thought, is it too much to smile at that woman who's same snarky & smarmy voice echoed in campaign stops last year?

You Betcha!

[Tx4obama]

15. Worth watching just to hear Palin say UNDERWEAR! LOL n/t

[MrModerate]

16. They both offer a wealth of material to the parodist . . . n/t
