William Shatner, the master of spoken-word peculiarity, turned up on The Tonight Show last night to deliver a little viral gem—a verbatim delivery of governor-no-more Sarah Palin's steadily more rambling, picnic-accompanied resignation speech.

By the sounds of it, it's not just the rivers that are merciless.
