William Shatner Reads Sarah Palin's Tweets

William Shatner Reads Palin's Tweets — I Mean, Poems

July 31, 2009

by POPSUGAR Sex & Culture 11

It appears that these writers aren't the only ones who think Sarah Palin is a poet. Conan O'Brien proclaims she is a master of free verse because of her creative use of language. Conan recently invited the one and only William Shatner onto his show to recite her farewell speech, then brought Shatner back on Wednesday to recite her Tweets. With a bongo player and bass player as background, you can almost imagine being in a smoke-filled, Beatnik dive in the '50s . . .

It's a common knowledge that to be an effective poet, you have to have some sort of significant chemical imbalance (i.e. Plath, Poe, Pound, Eliot, Dickinson, Byron, Shelley, etc.), and so maybe Sarah Palin really is a poet, unintentional though it may be. Now, with this knowledge in mind I hope no one is tasteless enough to suggest that Palin might follow in place of Plath or Crane. That would be terrible.
