Frequent visitors to this blog would already be aware of my sincere admiration for the great William Shatner . If memory serves me right, however, this would be the first time that I will be putting to pen (so to speak), my almost equally fervent admiration for Alec Baldwin. Our good friends at Fametracker try to settle the matter with the article Battle of the Brilliant, Bloated Meta-Masters:
"This isn't a case of the learner becoming the master, but rather a prince asserting himself as the next in line for the king's throne. No one, by definition, can out-Shatner Shatner. You might as well say you're going to outrun running, or outshine shininess itself. Shatner isn't just the president of this club -- he's also a client, and the star player, and the referee, and the ball. But Baldwin's learned something from Shatner about reinvention -- he's more likable and more entertaining than ever."
Now, leave me alone while I search for Baldwin's SNL skits online. You guys, on the other hand, can search my blog for links to clips of the immortal William Shatner. Enjoy!
