This from Barry Ritholz at The Big Picture, usually a place of restrained economic analysis.
William Shatner lends a cameo performance to the Conan O'Brien show, reading a portion of Sarah Palin's farewell speech as governor of Alaska.
It's at least as funny as the old Steve Allen routines, when he performed dramatic recitations of 1960's pop songs.
There's a lesson here: If you want to be taken seriously as a public person, show up with your remarks prepared and rehearsed. Otherwise, the public gets to see how your brain works unedited...
Gov. Palin earned this skewering.
