Video: Palin gets revenge on master thespian William Shatner

Yeah, he’s pals with Rush. But even so — he had it coming.
Somewhere Chris Matthews is watching this and thinking, in all seriousness, “She can read.”

Oh c’mon … you know that appearing on the Tonight Show, selling close to two million books and drawing thousands of people wherever she goes are sure signs that her fifteen minutes are about up.
I’m surprised at you. You even missed the classic sign of irrelevancy … everyone going bonkers over her Facebook posts.
C’mon LibTired, face reality.
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 9:46 AM
LOL. +10
joejm65 on December 12, 2009 at 9:51 AM
That was so awesome! Love that she has a sense of humor.
mizflame98 on December 12, 2009 at 9:56 AM
Looking around the forums, big hit, I think.
A comment from a youtube “I sort of get why Republicans like her so much.”
csThor on December 12, 2009 at 9:59 AM
Sarah is my choice for our next President. I know that she will NEVER appologize for America, because she knows we have nothing to appologize for. All of the sins of America can be laid at the feet of the left. Maybe someday they will begin to understand the law of unintended consequences.
JohnB on December 12, 2009 at 10:03 AM
That’s great! She just needs to show the public the real Sarah Palin, not the one the media created. This was a big step in accomplishing that.
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 10:03 AM
Loved how the crowd went crazy wild for Palin.
WyoMike on December 12, 2009 at 10:09 AM
Ahh, so now she is SO popular with Americans that she’s burning too brightly? LMAO
marklmail on December 12, 2009 at 10:13 AM
I will simply note this brilliant bit of comedy happened after the Comcast buyout.
Mutnodjmet on December 12, 2009 at 10:14 AM
Bravo Conan! One thing is certain, Sarah gives as good as she gets!

That was funny as hell, I don’t care who you are or how you feel about Palin, you got to give her her props.
Rebar on December 12, 2009 at 10:22 AM
Her election will be historical!

Unlike some people we know…
JusDreamin on December 12, 2009 at 10:23 AM
Exactly. You can tell for sure with a quick check of the polls..
wait. Never mind
JusDreamin on December 12, 2009 at 10:25 AM
It’s ok to love Sarah Palin.
She’s conservative, patriotic, intelligent, honest, wholesome, self-made and …oh, I could go on and on.
And, yes, she is beautiful and attractive. Those, however, are just icing on the cake. Bonus points. Like Michelle Malkin.
Cult worship would be loving her were she to have no core worthy of love or admiration- or as in Obama’s case, a rotten core.
justltl on December 12, 2009 at 10:27 AM
Her WaPo op ed piece was one of the most clicked ever for them.
AnninCA on December 12, 2009 at 10:33 AM
She’s done.
LibTired on December 12, 2009 at 10:35 AM
I love that look she gives Shatner as she takes her seat. lol
Bet Letterman is on the floor kicking his feet and whining today.
joedoe on December 12, 2009 at 10:45 AM
I understand why you referenced Chrissie Matthews in your post, AP. You hope it will make your snarky assaults on Gov. Palin look reasonable compared to those of the prototypical petulant pu$$y, Matthews. I guess it helps.
SKYFOX on December 12, 2009 at 10:47 AM
Caught some liberal on MSNBC talking about Palin this morning. He said the more they try to tear her down, the higher her numbers go. He also said that there are people out there that would literally walk over hot coals to stand by this woman. No one on the political scene has that kind of loyalty going for them.
joedoe on December 12, 2009 at 10:48 AM
Isn’t it? If not, why not?
Yes.
You forgot to close your eyes and click your heels three times.
Jim Treacher on December 12, 2009 at 10:57 AM
I’m not Kino – not sure what you want me to say to that since you didn’t respond to my comment at all – specifics – have you a dictionary? I don’t think it means what you think it means…
My point still remains that you aren’t paying attention if ‘you wonder where she stands on issues that she doesn’t speak fluently about’.
Any research into her public record would give you a good indication of her principles.
BTW, I’m not out of my mind any more today than I am any other day, but perhaps I am a bit better of an observer than you. Yours is a glaring double standard…

Awaiting Shatner’s visit with bated breath.
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 11:21 AM
Sorry darwin, your Theory of Irrelevancy is about to be debunked.
xax on December 12, 2009 at 11:25 AM
Sarcasm.
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 11:28 AM
Like her windfall profits tax? She’s still a relative unknown and she deserves vetting and a degree of skepticism, not an automatic imputation of all possible perfect conservative values just because she’s a dynamo.
I don’t know what double standard you’re referring to, but I’m sure it has something to do with my raging sexism.
LibTired on December 12, 2009 at 11:32 AM
Good job Sarah! Shatner was classy too.
Metanis on December 12, 2009 at 11:40 AM
Wait. She hasn’t been vetted? We don’t know anything about her?
What’s been going on for the last 16 months?
Jim Treacher on December 12, 2009 at 11:40 AM
Count me as one of those people. A lot of us are former democrats who left the party around May 31, 2008.
lonestar1 on December 12, 2009 at 11:45 AM
Ditto.
lansing quaker on December 12, 2009 at 11:46 AM
It wasn’t a windfall profits tax. It was a restructured rate (Across the entire price scale of oil because previous politicians had lowered the rate so much based on fraud, insider deals, and political favors (some went to jail for it). As I understand it, the rate goes down once the price of oil goes past a certain point (higher), although I am not positive on this.
BPD on December 12, 2009 at 11:46 AM
There’s a lot of democrats who are suddenly realizing that the democrat party isn’t the democrat party anymore … it’s been taken over by the far left progressives who represent a small minority of radicals.
I wish more people would understand that. At this stage of the game it’s really not about republicans vs democrats, it’s about progressives vs the rest of the country.
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 11:57 AM
A lib said that? On MSDNC? Who was it? I’ll bet he or she won’t be invited back anytime soon.Incidentally that’s true.
The drive-bys are only helping her with the base and a lot of independents when they keep attacking her. Especially if they get nasty and personal.
Doughboy on December 12, 2009 at 12:02 PM
Unlike Fauxbama prior to the election.
Jeff2161 on December 12, 2009 at 12:02 PM
I thinks it’s hilarious watching all the Liberal pundits and our Trolls react to her popularity. I haven’t seen so much spinning since I went on the Himalaya ride at the Fair.
kingsjester on December 12, 2009 at 12:06 PM
I really wish I could be a fly on the wall when Letterman watched it … as you know he did.
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 12:11 PM
But what is gold is the way she loves, loves, loves that Kid Rock.
Don’t you remember how everyone railed against him (Right Wing Bloggers followed suit like silly ninnies)and he was dissinvited to Bush’s Inauguration because the VFW took issue with an American Flag poncho he wore at half-time at the Super Bowl (to be expected but not to take seriously – older people always have a beef with someone/something, they live to live in the past), and the Pro-Family Americans expressed outrage, even though Barbara Bush wanted him and it was a youth event.
Wow.
So what are they all going to say now that Sarah Palin has spoken the word on Kid?
I guess everything is suddenly forgotten and he’s ok for that family values crowd now that she has spoken.
Pimp of the Nation no longer matters….Sarah has annoited him gold.
From WingNut Daily back in January of 2005:
No Kid Rock at youth concert
Inauguration committee backpedals on Kid Rock
Kid Rock too vulgar for inauguration?
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:12 PM
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:12 PM
That was weak. The fact the she likes some of Kid Rock’s music is soooo going to ruin this nation. LOL
Spin away, sweetie.
kingsjester on December 12, 2009 at 12:17 PM
Shatner, Meghan McCain, Frum and the other slightly right of center Repub’s had best learn to accept (and embrace) Palin. She’s the new face of the GOP. All the other gop possibilities are already starting to choke on her dust. DD
Darvin Dowdy on December 12, 2009 at 12:17 PM
What’s even more hilarious is watching all those Kid Rock hatin’ wingnut pundits and our Family Values Trolls react to his popularity with her.
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm.
I really wish I could be a fly on the wall when Tony Perkins and James Dobson watched it … as you know they did. (They started the attack on Kid.)
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Things like that are underneath my radar … I have more important things to worry about.
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 12:20 PM
King Jester – thank you – you are finally getting it my love.
That’s is exactly my point now and was my point then.
Attacking Kid Rock in 2005 was lame and she should have never been dissinvited to that youth event.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:21 PM
This Kid Rock deal is going to be the thing that finally takes down Palin, I can feel it. Don’t let ‘em shut you up!
Jim Treacher on December 12, 2009 at 12:21 PM
You really should acquaint yourself with the facts before you parrot leftwing talking points.
The Alaska Constitution guarantees that all the state’s resources belong to the people, therefore, they are entitled to a percentage of the profits of oil, gas, etc. Sarah Palin was simply obeying the Constitution’s mandate.
You wilfully close your eyes to what she says, writes, and does, while accepting everything the media says at face value. Either you’re lazy or a jackass with a problem with women. Or both.
atheling on December 12, 2009 at 12:21 PM
What’s even more hilarious is watching all those Kid Rock hatin’ wingnut pundits and our Family Values Trolls react to his popularity with her.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:18 PM
What reaction? Prove it. Links, please.
kingsjester on December 12, 2009 at 12:21 PM
Whoops meant to say he should have never benn dissinvited to that youth event.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:22 PM
Who is Kid Rock?
atheling on December 12, 2009 at 12:22 PM
You’re a lousy speller.
atheling on December 12, 2009 at 12:23 PM
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Yeah. The reaction is deafening. I’d love to see some of it. Links, please.
kingsjester on December 12, 2009 at 12:24 PM
Oh King – now you are not getting it.
I was playing on your words lovey.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:24 PM
Ahhh……
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:24 PM
This. Was. Awesome.
Abby Adams on December 12, 2009 at 12:25 PM
I never even knew Kid Rock was attacked. Are you stalking him or something? I mean c’mon … you’re talking about something in 2005.
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Wasn’t it?
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 12:26 PM
You obviously either one – don’t understand my point and two – don’t want to acknowledge the double standards that happen daily in WingNut City.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:26 PM
Who is Kid Rock?
atheling on December 12, 2009 at 12:22 PM
This guy who tried to rap, do heavy metal, and then, tried to revive his career doing country music. I think he works behind the counter in a 7/11 in Cairo, Illinois now.
kingsjester on December 12, 2009 at 12:27 PM
Do pop in and out of different dimensions or something? What the hell are you talking about?
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 12:28 PM
You guys just aren’t smart enough to keep up with AprilOrit, so just keep ignoring the looming specter of Mulletgate. You lose again, wingnuts!
Jim Treacher on December 12, 2009 at 12:29 PM

lol …
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 12:31 PM
Perhaps you weren’t reading the blogs back then – it was a big deal and very unneccesary and veru unfair.
Stalking him? Why would are ask me that – only to be inceddiary and confrontational? I never attacked him – they did.
I have always been a fan – even back in 2005 and I thought his was treated very unfairly.
Especially after all he had done and has done with the USO.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:31 PM
Why would I ask you that? Because you’re talking about something that supposedly happened almost five years ago and you talk like it just happened yesterday.
Who are “they”. Do you see “them” all the time? Do “they” talk to you?
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 12:34 PM
Yes, yes it was. :-)
Abby Adams on December 12, 2009 at 12:38 PM
Yeah…think that again.
He’s been to Iraq more than most other performers.
Performing on December 4th in Baghdad:
Tour for the Troops 2009 with Headliner Kid Rock
Don’t diss the guy.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:40 PM
Yeah, if there is one thing that will eliminate someone from serious presidential contention is dissing Kid Rock 5 years ago…your standards of presidential material is, ummmmmm, let’s just say “interesting”. About the same standards applied to the current president.
right2bright on December 12, 2009 at 12:42 PM
I don’t want to put words in her mouth, but I think maybe AprilOrit is a Kid Rock fan.
Jim Treacher on December 12, 2009 at 12:42 PM
Read the articles.
“They” are those would attacked him and dsiinvited him to the event.
Those nutty value voters who take umbrage with everyone and everything they disagree with.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:43 PM
Yes, I am.
That’s one thing Sarah Palin and I agree on. She wanted his music playing at a few of her book signings – I’m down with that.
Well – you of all people are the least expected to see the double standard hypocrisy of those wingnuts….I’m hardly surprised that you have a rebuttal.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Great guy now? Probably, but doesn’t still a jerk then…
right2bright on December 12, 2009 at 12:46 PM
Probably because like most people, you don’t understand the word hypocrisy…the “hypocrite card” played when you run out of excuses…
right2bright on December 12, 2009 at 12:49 PM
It’s hypocrisy because some conservatives don’t like Kid Rock and yet other conservatives do. Double standard!
Jim Treacher on December 12, 2009 at 12:50 PM
Never step in between a groupie and their fantasy…
right2bright on December 12, 2009 at 12:51 PM
I get it now…sometimes I like your posts, and sometime I don’t…I am a Treacher-ous hypocrite…
right2bright on December 12, 2009 at 12:53 PM
Good one atheling. The severance tax represents OWNERSHIP OF THE PEOPLE AS PER AK CONSTITUTION.
TO MAKE IT MARKET-BASED AND PRO-BUSINESS: AS OWNERS, THE PEOPLE’S SHARE (SEVERANCE TAX) IS NOT FIXED, IT WILL FALL IF THE GAS PRICE FALLS. This is the innovation made by Palin.
Meaning, the shares of Alaskans will reduce, not just the private investor’s profits, if the gas market prices weakens.
IN FACT, THE TEXAN OIL COMPANIES ARE ASKING PERRY TO COPY SARAH’S PROFIT-SHARING MECHANISM AS IT IS MORE MARKET-DRIVEN.
At the beginning of 2009, AK Legislature were barking at Sarah due to the “foreseen” lower gas prices. Sarah’s projections were “conservative”. Given the higher actual gas prices in the months that passed, the new Governor Parnell is enjoying the conservative estimates of Sarah … meaning SURPLUS for AK.
Parnell has the option to re-distribute the shares to the AK people like what Sarah did in 2008.
SARAH WAS RIGHT:
ACCEPTING STIMULUS MONEY WAS NOT NECESSARY. BUT WE KNEW WHAT HAPPENED: AK LEGISLATURE (DIRTY REPS AND DEMS) WAS TOO GREEDY.
The question now is this:
Will Gov. Parnell be as strong as Sarah to go against the AK State Legislature and distribute again the excess collections from oil/gas severance taxes?
TheAlamos on December 12, 2009 at 12:53 PM
I had some doubts about Palin but at the same time I really like her and agree with her on many if not most issues and she was the ONLY reason I even donated to the McCain campaign and I find myself hoping more and more that she does in fact run in 2012.
Yakko77 on December 12, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Why the hell should I give a rat’s ass about some pop culture entertainer?
No wonder you people on the left are so idiotic. You don’t deserve to live in a free republic as you waste your time on useless garbage. Garbage in, garbage out. That’s you.
atheling on December 12, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Never step in between a groupie and their fantasy…
right2bright on December 12, 2009 at 12:51 PM
Gee, thanks for the – I guess it was a compliment?? – but I’m too old to be a groupie.
But then I again I guess it takes one to know one…
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 1:12 PM
Why don’t you attack Obama’s lies and hypocriscy?
darwin on December 12, 2009 at 1:15 PM
It is Jim – when they constantly call out the Left/The One for the same practices daily.
My point was that they should look in their own backyard – double standard has pitched a tent and is living in their yard as well.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 1:18 PM
To LibTired:
+1000
darwin – I’ve seen other LibTired posts – and while I agree he is not a liberal, he certainly can access their already debunked talking points ad nauseum re Palin. Must be nice waking up everyday with no memory…
Sexism fits on some of the truly stupid things he/she/it wrote, sarc/ men speak so fluidly on every topic, ya know. /sarc
Carolina Kat on December 12, 2009 at 1:19 PM
As cogent as ever.
Jim Treacher on December 12, 2009 at 1:19 PM
The severance “tax” is more of a sales price than a tax. The State is selling a scarce resource that will never be replenished. Basing their price on market forces makes sense, and is in only in your twisted mind a “windfall profit tax”.

AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 1:29 PM
So was Al Franken. Doesn’t mean I want him babysitting my grandkids.
You seem to have this cardboard cut-out image of “family values conservatives” that you hold in fron of everyone right od Castro just so you can attack anyone who doesn’t fit into the hateful mold you try to cram them into as “hypocritical”.
You, my dear April-in-Orbit, are pathetically hateful.

No, the moose is done — and on the table.
unclesmrgol on December 12, 2009 at 1:54 PM
I didn’t attack Kid Rock and get the Right leaning bloggers jack up against the guy and have him dissinvited to a White House event he was already booked for.
The family values hate squad did.
But guess what – Sarah Palin loves Kid Rock and thinks he has common sense ideas.
Betcha her kids and her husband have already met him.
AprilOrit on December 12, 2009 at 1:55 PM
April, honey, before you get more wee-weed up, please realize that NObama has made outright Communists, tax cheats and NAMBLA members his Czars, accountable to no one.
Thankfully, most of them have been thrown under the bus…
As for Kid Rock, all Sarah’s book said was that he was “pro-American.”
She didn’t ask him to be godfather to her kids.
And Sarah isn’t POTUS…yet.
Jenfidel on December 12, 2009 at 2:02 PM
She’s done?
Her book is on its way to having 3 million copies printed.
Try to order it from Amazon. Just try. (You can’t, because they’re out of stock!)
She just had thousands in Flyover Country wait in freezing cold for hours just to get her to sign a book, shake her hand and flash ‘em a smile.
She has over 1,000,000 Fans on Facebook and just had an op-ed about Climategate in the WashingtoncomPost that Algore responded to.
Still wanna say she’s done?
Jenfidel on December 12, 2009 at 2:07 PM
Looks like AprilOrbit is a single issue voter…whoever she thinks will invite Kid Rock to perform wins her vote.
Seriously, can we get off this Kid Rock nonsense? Because as far as single issues go, this one trumps the most stupid.
