Last night, William Shatner sat down to read selections from Sarah Palin's Going Rogue. This marked the second time that The Tonight Show made use of Shatner's brilliant narrative techniques. Previously he appeared on the show to recite her Tweets. But as with anything involving Palin--who is quickly becoming our generation's Gloria Vanderbilt (a Palin-esque line of mom jeans to follow?)-- and a captive viewing audience, surprises were in store!

And after his eloquent recitation, Shatner and the rest of Conan O'Brien's viewing audience were greeted by Palin, who wanted to give Shatner a taste of his own medicine. 'Cuz that's how they do it in Wasilla, bitches. Revenge is a dish best served cold and Wasilla is quite cold. The hardest part of sitting through the clean wasn't wincing through her clunky interpretation of the word "deadpan." But that fact that, well, Palin kind of came of...likeable. I mean, this woman still belongs sealed away in some facility in Anchorage, to see if she and many like her can be used to to help spur penguin populations.

Make no mistake that anyone's pulling for some horrible Tyra Banks-inspired chatshow entitled Pallin' 'Round With Sarah. Though it's eerie how once you take a sociopath away from the fast-track to world conquest, you can almost find her endearing.
