William Alan Shatner — what would we ever do without that crazy, 78-year-old Canadian Jew?
The man better known as Capt. James Tiberius Kirk recently turned up on “The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien,” delighting viewers and verse lovers everywhere with his masterful performance of reading Sarah Palin’s resignation speech from July as well as her father-of-her-grandson-turned-nemesis Levi Johnston’s tweets into absolute beat poetry worthy of Kerouac and Ferlinghetti.
A bass, bongo and Bill ñ doesn’t get better than that. The man is a national treasure.
