@ElleL: I think so, too--really, I think this HAS to be the case. Not that he's a font of reliable info, but Levi said that she was not that interested in being the governor, she took early days, etc., and the fact that she left early bears that out. Additionally, she really seems to be in love with being on TV, far moreso than Obama, Biden or McCain.
Which isn't to say the idea of her being an Oprah/Beck/O'Reilly level media star isn't distasteful. It just seems so far out of the realm of possibility that she'd run for president.
Shatner is at peace with the self-mockery thing - if he read excerpts from his own autobiography, he'd probably make a joke out of it.
I haven't read it, but I imagine much of it is written tongue-in-cheek.All hail the Shatnerator!
@Apple Tartlet: Yeah I'm pretty sure most of the time he just says the most insane shit he can think of (accusing George Takei of "deep psychosis" during an interview comes to mind.)
@pesematology: He's loopy - didn't know about the George Takei comment, though, which seems dangerously out of the 'insane' region of comments and into the 'outright offensive' zone.
I rarely even think of William Shatner in conjunction with Star Trek anymore. I heard one of his albums once, and that has taken over everything else I ever knew about him.
@Apple Tartlet: It's insane because it was his attempt to explain why he didn't get invited to Takei's wedding... when actually Takei says he sent him an invite anyway.
Which album was it? Some of his music is completely nuts and some is still completely nuts but in a way I really like. He does "Common People" bizarrely well.
@pesematology: That does put the comment squarely back into insane territory.
I can't remember which album - but Common People is the song I first heard and remember best! It is genius.
@morninggloria: Woah, America has collective labia? I hope she's not on our individual labia. Or America Fererra's labia, although that would be pretty interesting.

Someone running for President cannot. Or shouldn't, anyway.

She makes Shatner look good.

At least, this is what I have to tell myself every night to keep from pulling my hair out.

Shatner's reading was still better.
