William Shatner Performs Sarah Palin's Poem Speech

William Shatner performing on The Tonight Show.

Sarah Palin gave her resignation speech this past Sunday, after listening to it I thought it would have gone a bit better had I been tripping on acid because it didn’t make a lick of since.  I was not the only person to think this because Tonight Show host Conan O’Brien noticed the striking similarities between her speech and the sort of terrible poetry that gets read during an open mic night.  Lucky for us, he brought in the gifted William Shatner to breathe the life into it that Sarah Palin was incapable of doing.

Check it out after the jump>>>

    Conservatives complain that no one will leave this woman alone, but it’s just easy comedy. They read her words verbatim and it’s hilariously ridiculous. It’s bad when they’re mocking you by quoting you.

  2. Kevin says:

    I have read that she attended 5 colleges, and quit them all. Quit her job as Mayor and now Govenor. [SIC] If this is true, I do not know. But she is a quitter of a high office for no yet released valid reason.

    And to listen to her talk, I want to see the results of a drug test as bad as the Wing Nuts want to see “Barry’s” long form birth certificate, despite the fact the State of Hawaii says was digitized and none of them exist anymore. [His birth announcement 4 days after he was hatched, right there in the paper – MY GAWD the long reaching arm of those vast left wing conspirators!!!

    Na, the birth announcement in the newspapers don’t prove anything. They just reprint the list of Certificates of Live Birth that they got from the state.

    http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=104678

    You’re the first person I’ve seen make the claim that a Long Form Birth Certificate doesn’t exist because of computerization. Not sure where you got that from, I’d like to see the source.

    I’ve been reading about this issue, and it’s strange that the defender’s of Obama spend their time trying to claim that the Certificate of Live Birth is authentic, which diverts attention away from the Long Form Birth Certifciate. They never seem to want to address the difference between the two.

    I have no way of knowing what is going on here, but last week when that National Guard guy refused to go to the front until Obama proved he was legit, and suddenly they said, never mind you don’t have to go….that made me decide to read up on the whole topic.

  4. jamman says:

    Couple of interesting things there, first the President of CNN is now on record ordering what content Lou Dobbs presents on his show. But that’s off point.

    It looks like CNN’s “researchers” found an newpaper article where Janice Okubo says the state has gone paperless.

    Yet……..

    ““Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records,strong> have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.”

    http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2008/11/obama_hawaaianborn_citizen_for.html

    In the article Janice Okubo verifies this statement by Dr. Fukino, the head of the Health Department. So in Nov. 2008 she is claiming that they do have Obama’s orginal Birth Certificate on record.

    • Ben says:

      yeah, but they don’t claim to have a paper document. the database is probably just a series of informational text files on a server somewhere. i doubt that there are images saved of the original certificates showing seals and signatures because you can show your certificate of live birth for any legal reason you would need that sort of thing. can’t imagine anyone working at the hawaii registry anticipated this situation when they chose to go digital.

  5. jamman says:

    I think the point of the Long Form BC is that it would show 1. What Hospital he was born in

    http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=103306

    , 2. What they named him at birth 3. The Attending Physician or Midwife.

    Also, the Certificate of Live Birth is not acceptable as Proof of being born in Hawaii, by the State itself. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=100451

    Additionally, between 2000 and 2005, the time Hawaii went digital, I worked as an Industry Consultant for a major companny in the field of electronic document managment systems. I used to design and implement EDMS systems. I know the major document capture systems and I can tell you it would be highly unlikely that the process didn’t involve scanning documents to .tiff files and storing them in Cold storage. For Hawaii to screen scrape the scanned images into data columns and to discard the scans would be pretty doubtful.

    • Ben says:

      well i was wrong about the discarding – apparently that’s now being called untrue. this is basically the latest on the issue. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2009-07-27-obama-hawaii_N.htm.

      it’s been validated now by the hawaiian registry, the government and governor of the state, court rulings, and now it has been officially accepted by the u.s. house of representatives (unanimously). why doesn’t he release it? he may just feel that he shouldn’t have to, as he’s proved the legitimacy of the birth certificate to as many officials as any other president did, probably more.

  6. jamman says:

    When a question about John McCain’s birth was raised, they immediatly released a Long Form and the story was ended. Here ya’ go, no big deal.

    No courts have ruled on this. They’ve just dismissed cases because the people didnt have standing to bring the suit.

    The only thing that has been proved beyond a doubt is that the President of CNN News ordered Lou Dobbs to report false information. Further eroding CNN’s standing as a legitimate news agency.

    It’s baffling that if there is in fact a long form birth certificate on file, the Obama campagin would not release it.

    SARAH PALIN POEM = AMERICAN PATRIOT

    She chose their opportunities

    To become strong, not weak

    By pulling up her boot straps

    She acquired the dreams we seek.

    Her personal goals of well being

    Will never stand in the way

    Of doing her public duty

    No matter what others may say.

    Her devotion shall prove contagious

    It’s the brilliance of her kind

    What you find within her

    Is great character of mind.

    With faith and courage, she must live

    For her life to be complete

    With good morals and family life

    She’ll triumph, even in defeat.

    She was raised to participate

    Within her community

    With her fellow men and women

    She’ll enrich life and liberty.

    Thank You For Being

    SARAH PALIN POEM

    SOLDIER FOR THE LORD

    She’s a soldier for the Lord

    Who’s been up and who’s been down

    Though while on the battlefield

    She has never turned around.

    She’ll face more than flesh and blood

    With the devil’s evil hoard.

    But they shall not steal her soul

    For she swings our Lord’s swift sword.

    She wears all of God’s armor

    With helmet, breastplate and shield.

    As Satan’s arrows fly by

    From his archers of the field.

    The devil casts his dark net

    Over any he may charm.

    He’ll lead them from salvation

    With his hands upon their arm.

    She battles evil daily

    And prays that you’ll join her.

    She gives new hope for this world

    To be better then we were.

    SARAH PALIN POEM”

    BESIDES LOVE MEN NEED FISHING

    AND FOR BOTH MOST ARE WISHING

    Besides love men need fishing

    And for both, most are wishing

    Catching trophies chosen best

    To be envied by the rest.

    Fishing is a game of sport

    Loved by all, both tall and short.

    We must fool the fish’s eye

    If we plan to stir and fry.

    Some use boats while others wade

    As they fish the sun or shade.

    Ice-cold drinks help pass the day

    While life’s troubles fade away.

    Most men feel they’ve everything

    With their rod, hook, cork and string.

    Be it river, pond or lake

    We all pray our line won’t break.

    RIVER FISHING

    After school my friend and I would walk through town to the river

    Soon to bait our trout lines with cotton cake, crawdads and liver.

    Sometimes we used baby bullheads, perch or great big frogs

    Tossing out into the current next to a snag of logs.

    At times we would disrobe and wade out in the stream

    Attaching lines to anything hoping to hook our dream.

    One day I made some doe bait and stuffed it in my sock

    Attached five hooks, hundred pound line and tied it to a rock.

    When I bragged to my classmates they snickered and called me fool

    Till the next day they followed me to the river after school.

    I made my way to the water my path was a fallen tree

    Something big was on my line it was easy for us to see.

    I tried to pull it in but the current was too strong

    Three boys ran to assist me as we began to sing a song.

    Going fishing instead of wishing for the granddaddy of them all

    If we land this monster will give the sport shows a call.

    It seemed like forever before our beast was ashore

    Eighty-five pounds of flathead cat as big as a closet door.

    We shared his steaks at a fish fry, food for heart and soul

    Took his head and nailed it high for all to see on a pole.

    For a time we ceased our casting instead we chased the girls

    After marriage with our kids we again fished the swirls.

    Too many of my friends have past and the years have raced by

    Though here I sit with rod in hand a fisherman till I die.

    SARAH PALIN POEM = I LOVE AMERICA

    America, the abundant, the place I was born

    I’ll cherish till the day I die.

    Where the bones of past heroes lie buried in the ground

    Who loved her the same as I.

    Her mountains are so tall they reach for the sky

    With prairies where the green grasses grow.

    There’s billions of trees where wild birds nest

    With creatures that flourish below.

    That blue gold called water with which we are blessed

    As raindrops or crystallized snow

    Changes to rivers and fresh water lakes

    While the winds of our seasons blow.

    There’s the haunt of a whistle from a lonely freight train

    Racing on ribbons of steel

    With the harvest of farms and from the factories

    Balanced in a box on a wheel.

    Some cities have buildings a hundred stories tall

    Structures of concrete, glass and steel.

    A statue in a harbor, a present from France

    Describes how inside, we feel.

    That flag on the moon with red and white stripes

    Proves America’s dreams come true.

    A country of heroes who line up to protect

    The past, the present and the few.

    We’ll defeat terrorism as it should be fought

    Never letting Satan’s horde chase us to our door.

    Safeguarding our borders and system of life

    As our forefathers sacrificed before.

    Never be afraid to be proud of America

    And march with the brave, faithful and just.

    Refusing to submit to the will of our enemies

    Standing firm to preserve what we trust.
