'The Tonight Show': Levi Johnston's real tweets, read by William Shatner

"The Tonight Show" stirred up a bit -- and we do mean just a bit -- of controversy Wednesday night by having William Shatner do a dramatic reading of Twitter updates purportedly written by Palin family scourge and soon-to-be Playgirl model Levi Johnston.Except they weren't really Johnston's authentic tweets. They were those of an impostor using Johnston's name, and his lawyer demanded an apology. He got one, in a manner of speaking, on Thursday's show. But it's hard to pick a fight with a guy who has his own TV show.
"I'd like to personally apologize to Levi Johnston, and his lawyer and publicist, for misrepresenting him in any way," Conan O'Brien said on Thusday's broadcast. "Levi is clearly a great American, and we wish him the best of luck as he trains for his upcoming naked photo shoot."
And then Shatner returned to give a reading -- accompanied by bass and bongos -- of some of Johnston's actual quotes. Take a look:

It's better for Levi Johnston, if we just look at him and he keeps his mouth SHUT!!! What a low life creep he is to get his notarity by ruining the reputation of the Palin family. They are lucky he is not going to be part of their family. I feel sorry for the beautiful son. He is really showing his true colors and what he is made of.
Yeaaaaa dang rightttt he should apologize. The palin family can screw up their reputation all on their own without levi's help lol
I can see Levi's Johnson from my house.
who is levi johnson and why should i care?
Levi can come to my house and look for whatever he wants.
When is Levi going to apologize to us for going way past his fifteen minutes?
