Video: William Shatner Reads Levi Johnston’s Tweets

When art meets idiocy, great things can happen.

Here’s a video of William Shatner on The Tonight Show Wednesday, reading tweets from Levi Johnston‘s Twitter feed. Or at least his alleged Twitter feed: HuffPost reports Johnston’s attorney has demanded NBC retract the skit (how do you “retract” a skit?), maintaining that those tweets were posted by a Johnston imposter trying to make Sarah Palin‘s beloved almost-son-in-law look bad. As if he needed the help. I hear that if NBC doesn’t comply, Johnston has threatened to “whip it out.” You’ve been warned.
