During the summer, William Shatner created a sensation when he appeared on The Tonight Show to perform a dramatic reading of Sarah Palin's farewell speech. It proved so popular that Shatner followed it up with a poetic recitation of Palin's Tweets.
Last night, Shatner gave the same treatment to Levi Johnston, the attention-whoring father of Palin's grandson, with whom Palin has been feuding. Both have been in the headlines recently with Palin set to release her book and Levi set to expose his Johnston in Playgirl.
Watch as Shatner performs a poetic reading of Johnston's Tweets.
According to TMZ, Johnston is furious, saying The Tonight Show essentially shat on him.
Johnston's lawyer claims the Tweets aren't his and make him out to look like a racially insensitive pothead. They are demanding a retraction from NBC.
Here are the Tweets Shatner turned into poetic verse:
Maybe I'm a genius and not even know it / Maybe I don't exist and it only seems like I do / Maybe this is a parallel universe where I don't.Here are some other choice Tweets compiled by BuzzFeed from the same Twitter account, which were attributed to Johnston:
Anybody know where I can get some good weed?
I feel like I'm in a rap video every time I come here / What's the deal with the taxi drivers not speaking English / Is it a law against it?

"I would like to personally apologize to Levi Johnston and his lawyer and publicist, for misrepresenting him in any way," O'Brien said. "Levi is clearly a great American. We wish him the best of luck as he trains for his upcoming naked photo shoot."
O'Brien then attempted to make amends by bringing Shatner out again to perform another reading of verified quotes from Johnston.
Among them: "You can't just do a movie. I'm sure it's harder than it looks. I just get naked, that's what I do."
