Kirk Vs. Sulu: William Shatner Attacks George Takei
Ah, William Shatner. Lover of so many female alien lifeforms, negotiator of so many prices. He’s built his whole career on being a cocky bastard, and he is really quite good at it, don’t you think? But I think he’s gone a bit too far with a new video posted on his website. In it, he lashes out at George Takei, claiming that his former Star Trek co-star “harbors a grudge against him that kept him from being invited to Takei’s nuptials.” (Takei was married last month to his longtime partner Brad Altman, with other Star Trek alums in attendance.)
Interviewed by his daughter, Shatner says:
“The whole thing makes me feel badly,” Shatner said in the video. “Poor man. There is such a sickness there. It’s so patently obvious that there is a psychosis there. I don’t know what his original thing about me was. I have no idea.”
For his part, Takei says that Shatner WAS invited, he just never RSVPed.
“It is unfortunate that Bill was unable to join us for our wedding as he indeed was invited to attend,” Takei responded. “It is our hope that at this point he joins us in voting no on Proposition 8, which seeks to eliminate the fundamental right for same-sex couples to marry in California.”
How does Shatner feel about the gay issue?
“Who cares? Be gay. Don’t be gay. That’s up to you, George.”
Wow. I’d sure want someone with that attitude at my same-sex wedding. Shame on you, Shatner! Are you really that mad over a wedding invitation? Just send them a nice gift and stop being so bitter!
