The video comes to us from Andrew Malcom at LAT's Top of the Ticket. For a while now William Shatner has gone on Conan O'Brien to recite some of the things Sarah Palin has said. It was done to make fun of her, of course, but last night Sarah Palin got her revenge. Note the crowd's reaction when she comes on stage:

I didn't see anything necessarily malicious in Shatner's bit there. It's called comedy. And, I'm huge Palin fan.

Bruce, Shatner's previous appearances on Conan's show were not malicious but they were meant to make fun. Last night Palin took the opportunity to sling a few jokes back at him.

Yo, Adrian! Laugh it up.
Bowling is the Number 1 participatory sport in the US, according to The National Sporting Goods Association and the Bowling & Billiards Institute of America, which report that almost 54 million Americans six or older bowl at least once a year.
It's also a 10 BILLION dollar industry.
Libs love to diss the common man. Sarah never would and that's just another reason in a long list of why y'all hate her. To Sarah Palin the life of the average person is real. To Barack Obama, it's a photo op.

It was no different than the ovations Shatner got - but we should expect selective hearing on your part. Conservatives hear what they want to hear, and can't be objective when it comes to anti-abortion extremists like Palin.

ergo... The religious extremists' favorite 2012 GOP presidential pic got an ovation equal to a washed up actor who has the IQ of a sack of crowbars.

Get real -- All you have to do is listen to the ovation when Shatner is introduced at the start of the clip.
It is absolutely no different from the applause when Palin walks out onto the stage.

What I found most intriguing about this performance was the seeming lack of Gov. Palin's distinctive accent.
According to a book I read once, Fran Drescher took voice lessons to reduce her nasal New York accent. When speaking with a general American accent, people often wouldn't believe it was her!

Yep, this was fun theater. It was rehearsed. Shanter is a decent actor and he played his role well. BTW the audience had a few folks in it quite sympathetic to Sarah, and if you bother to read her Facebook notes on the visit to the show, you'll see who and why.
The point is that she has the pull now to get Conan and his network to allow her the time and grace to have this exposure. That is awesome, and I suppose it scares the hell out of a few people that include both GOP insiders and left-wing loonies.
