Some more on the Final Lap of the Iquitarod …
Best short review (Alex Pareene via Ken Layne):
It's like Peggy Noonan, Jack London, and William Faulkner wandered into the woods with three buttons of peyote and one typewriter, and only this speech emerged.
And she wrote this speech! In advance, on paper! What does any of it mean? It is amazing. Twenty years ago she could competently descibe a dog race, three years ago she could articulate a position on the abortion issue, and this weekend she composed a resignation speech by throwing culture war stock phrases into a hat and dumping it upside down on a copy of The Paranoid Style in American Politics.
Best performance art interpretation: William Shatner treats it as poetry (bastards at Hulu won't offer an embed option, sorry).
[UPDATE] Found an embeddable version over at HuffPo:
[UPDATE2] Which doesn't seem to be playing at the moment. Oh, well. Try the Hulu link above if it's still broken when you're reading this. Sorry.
[UPDATE3] Another try at an embeddable version:
Think I got it -- if this one doesn't work for you, right-click in the video window, click "Settings," and uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration." Could just be my ancient machine.
