Seems the longer he lived the more he embarrassed himself (which is something bound to happen for a celebrity with Alzheimer's) so his family and fans can be relieved.
I like a lot of his lefty '70s SF movies, and always found them oddly juxtaposed with his far right gun nut reality. He was definitely over the top to the point of cheese, but then I always liked watching Shatner in the original Star Trek too. That style works well for that type of material.
