William Shatner Recites Sarah Palin's Tweets as Poetry [Conan Video]

On Monday, Conan O'Brien, host of The Tonight Show, made a social media hit when he invited William Shatner (aka Captain Kirk) onto his show to recite - in the form of poetry - the farewell speech delivered by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin before she left office. Shatner's rendition, similar to his famous delivery of Rocketman, became a top trending topic on Twitter with countless views.
