#1 The Shatner skits were classic. Palin came off great here in a situation that could have gone very wrong. Politically I don't support her. But she doesn't have to be a politician.

#2 Both Shatner and Palin were in on this from the start, and they pulled it off perfectly. The point is to poke fun at those who think too much of themselves by poking fun at themselves. Whether they believe it is unimportant.

#3 The question is who benefited the most? Sarah won hands down. And poor Conin got a boost for bringing on an act that was actually funny. Shatner? Well, he got shafted in this one.

#4 Captain Kirk in 2012, oh forgot, he's a Canuck

#5 Well, Kirk is (to be) from Iowa. Shatner is from the Great White North. Not that one couldn't put a sealed birth certificate unavailable for public inspection in some friendly hands south of Frostbite Falls.

#6 WOW -- the reception of Sarah by the audience -- well, it was surprisingly loud and long!

#7 Palin with the proper handlers should run the RNC not run for President. She brings energy but she's got so many negatives for a politicians (fair or not) that I don't think she's electable.

#8 We'll see if she is electable. After a few more years of the Zero, her negatives will be positives for most normal people.
