Ah, the sweet, sonorous voice of William Shatner. It has tempted us to the darkest depths of space, borne us through the perils of justice, and…well, I never know quite what to say about this.
And now Mr. Shatner’s golden pipes have performed another feat of pop culture alchemy: Turning Levi Johnston’s tweets into beat poetry. Those of you who saw Shatner’s masterful performance of Sarah Palin’s resignation speech in July will recognize the format of Shat, a bass, and a bongo. So simple, so right. Check out the clip below.
UPDATE: It turns out that the Tweets read in the following clips were actually from a Levi Johnston impostor, so read with caution. Shatner returned the following night to read Johnston’s real Tweets.
in a word:awesome
Shatner has become a national treasure.
For Canada.
Pure. Comedy. Gold.
that was great. Palin and her extended brood of white trash-ites are a gold mine of laffs.
Fat kids never get kidnapped….hahahaha. Love ya, Shatner!
Hey couchgrouch, it takes one to know one !!
“You know you’re a celebrity … when strangers want to see your penis. L. A. M. O.”
That was a hoot.
* L. M. A. O. (typo — to bad you can’t edit these things…)
Would somebody please give Shatner a real job. I miss seeing him weekly!
Too bad these aren’t actually Levi’s tweets. They’re from a fake account.
