Oy, It’s On! Mama Grizzly Sarah Palin Calls Levi a Liar
The Anchorage Daily News reports that Governor Sarah Palin held a press conference today, the non-Obama kind where reporters are allowed to ask about anything, and the questions are not planted or approved in advance. She talked about the stimulus bill for Alaska but she also had this gem in response to a question about Levi Johnston who, along with his mom and pathologically weird sister, has been making the rounds on talk shows to smear Bristol Palin, the mother of his young infant son.
Specifically, Levi had claimed that he had moved in with the Palin family in Wasilla (“yeah, my stuff was there,” he said on the Early Show) a few weeks before Bristol gave birth to Tripp on December 28.
Governor Palin said that wasn’t true: “I know the truth about my family,” Palin said. “I know details about whether Levi Johnston was allowed to live with my teenage daughter or not. By the way, it would be over my dead body that a kid would live with my teenage daughter.”
Levi is calling the Palin family liars and claiming he did sort of live there for 2 months: “They said I didn’t live there. I ‘stayed there.’ I was like, ‘OK, whatever you want to call it’ — I had all my stuff there. So, if you wanna call it ‘staying there,’ that’s fine.”
UPDATE: Sarah said the following about Levi on the Eddie Burke Radio show yesterday:
“He’s a young kid…every kid that age has a lot of growing up to do, but forever and ever he’s going to be Tripp’s father… he’s going to be part of our family. We will love him and help him through this. I anticipate that at the end of the day, things are going to be good…just kind of a rough time right now.”
Sarah went on to say that the assertion that she and Todd allowed Levi to share a room with Bristol is a “bee in my bonnet right now…I would NEVER give a teenage boy permission to live with a teenage girl…”
In reference to the whole situation she added: “My prayer is always for wisdom and strength…part of that wisdom that I ask for is to know when to shut-up…to know when to keep my mouth shut and let the truth be revealed on its own.”
Maybe He’s Just Not That Into You, Bristol
Today we have the obligatory Johnston Family smackdown of anything named PALIN as well as a weird revelation that baby daddy Levi Johnston‘s sister Mercede has a “thing” going on for her brother.
While denying they are WHITE TRASH, the family – Levi, sis Mercede and Oxycontin mom Sherry – are loving the attention and have followed up an appearance on the TYRA BANKS SHOW Monday with an appearance on CBS’s “The Early Show” yesterday.
What’s the next stop on the coattails tour? Surely Letterman? Leno? 60 minutes? Is Jerry Springer still doing his show?
But wait for it – that “thing” that I mentioned? It seems that while Levi has a smallish tattoo of his son’s mother’s name – “Bristol” – on his ring finger, which he says he now regrets, his lil sis Mercede, who is JEALOUS of her brother’s ex-girlfriend, went out an got a honking BIG TATTOO that says “LEVI” on her WRIST. The sucker is HUGE.
Forget the fact that Mercede is only 17 and why would momma Johnston allow such a young girl, a minor, to get a permanent inking on her wrist, but why would a sister get a brother’s name nailed on her skin? It’s creepy.
It’s not like he died in Iraq – I could see a sister honoring her brother that way – but to show affection for your redneck loser brother because his life is FUBAR is just … ewwwww.
Is it some Alaska hillbilly thing? If so, Levi needs to rethink that White Trash self-actualization – it fit him to a T and it doesn’t help matters to have a sister with an incestuous a devotional tattoo on such a prominent place on her body.
Prediction time: some folks think Levi Johnston will eventually fad away, but I think he’s found his gravy train. He may go into porn (he says he’s “open” to the idea of an acting or modeling career), or he’ll try to sell a book about the Palins, or else he’ll just keep popping up on talk shows to slam Bristol and her mom until he forges a career out of “being in close proximity to a celebrity.” Hey, it worked for Kevin Federline.
Unfortunately, Levi has now become a champion of the left and is being used in their vigilant efforts to destroy Sarah Palin.
And he doesn’t even know it.
It’s Official: Levi Johnston is a Redneck Idiot
On Monday, the world will be able to tune in to the Tyra Banks Show and see Bristol Palin’s ex-boyfriend and baby daddy Levi Johnston discuss his sex life with Governor Sarah Palin’s teenage daughter. What a douchebag! And he’s seated next to his mother and sister. My God, how low class and white trash can this family get?
According to the advanced clip, Levi admits that he didn’t wear a condom every time. No shit, Sherlock. And he opines that Gov. Palin probably knew that he and Bristol were having sex because, “Moms are pretty smart.”
How much is this family getting paid to go on the Tyra Banks show to dish dirt on the Palin Family? Why don’t these people get off their lazy butts and get a job instead of riding Palin’s coattails? As the Palins said, Levi should worry about supporting his son instead of going on talk shows.
The Bristol Palin Interviews
Interesting tidbit from Part 4:
Greta: Who were you worried about more, about telling, your mother or your father?
Bristol: My mom. Definitely.
Greta turns to Sarah: Are you the disciplinarian?
Sarah: uh…Todd and I share in that … the disciplinary acts.
[LOL. Bristol looks at her mother like WTF]
Bristol Palin Gives a Confident, Amazing First Interview
“I don’t regret it at all, I just wish it would have happened in 10 years rather than right now,” Bristol Palin, just 18, said of becoming a teenage mom. She was talking to Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren in Alaska in an exclusive interview which aired last night. (Part 2 to run tonight, February 17.)
In her first interview since giving birth to her son, Tripp on December 27, Bristol told the world the intimate details of how she broke the news to her parents. And it turns out – she couldn’t do it alone.
Bristol described breaking the news of her pregnancy to her parents as “harder than labor.” She described how she, the baby dad Levi Johnston, and Bristol’s best friend sat on the couch and asked her parents to join them. After sending her younger sisters upstairs, she says, “I couldn’t even say it, I was just sick to my stomach and so finally my best friend just blurted it out.”>
“I don’t even remember it, because it was like, something I don’t want to remember.”
She says it “doesn’t matter” what her mother’s view on abortion are, “it was my choice to have the baby.”
Bristol is a beautiful young woman, a loving mom, and will do just fine with the support of her extended family behind her. She was courageous to speak out about teen pregnancy, strongly encouraging abstinence for young people her age yet acknowledging is “unrealistic” to think teens will act otherwise.
Sarah and Bristol Palin on Greta Van Tonight
Beings as I saw VP candidate Sarah Palin in Colorado Springs back in September 2009 (see photo as “proof”), I feel a special kinship with the guv.
Anyhoo, the guv’s guy Todd came in 6th on Saturday in the 2,000-mile IronDog race and Greta Van Susteren from Fox was up there in the Great White North to cover the race. Oh hell yes, Greta does sports! She’ll cover that on her show tonight, along with an interview with Bristol (cool name) and baby Tripp. Enjoy it tonight, folks. Tomorrow it’ll be attacked by the sicko lefty bloggers. They’ve got their hate on for Bristol Palin. (cool name by the way.)
So, while I’m waiting for the Greta Hour, here’s an excerpt from a nice interview about family matters with Todd and Sarah Palin from the People magazine interview done by Sandra Sobieraj Westfall in October 2008. It’s far more revealing and interesting than that new Sarah book by another People writer, “Trailblazer: An Intimate Biography of Sarah Palin” by Lorenzo Benet. Did he even interview Sarah? I think you’ll find this far more enjoyable and “intimate.” :
What’s your favorite family vacations?
TP: To the cabin. Safari Lake. New Year’s Eve.
SP: Up to the cabin, yeah. That’s when all the family gets together and lots of our neighbors from Wasilla, we all pack up the trailers—the snow machine trailers—and head on up about 70 miles north so we can ring in the new year out in the snow, in the great outdoors, and under the Northern Lights. It’s been an absolute beautiful night each night we’ve been out there.
Have you traveled with the kids anywhere in the lower 48?
SP: Yes. Many, many, many times. Yes. Yes. We go to Hawaii often. That’s a good trip for Alaskans because it’s a direct flight down there. We’ve been to California quite a few times. Washington State quite a few times to see relatives.
TP: We enjoy our road trips –
SP: We LOVE road trips.
TP: – driving from Alaska to the lower 48.
SP: Our son a few years ago was playing hockey in Minnesota, and we missed him so much that we jumped in one of our four-door trucks and drove from Alaska to Minnesota so that we could see him for a few hours. It also gave us a good excuse to travel that part of the country with the girls also.
How long a drive is that? A week?
SP: Not the way Todd drives. And Todd never sleeps!
You’re not the first parents to cope with a teenage pregnancy. How did you get that news and what was your reaction?
SP: Just a very quick acknowledgement that Bristol and her fiancé will have to grow up a lot quicker. But she is quite mature, very kind-hearted and a very strong young woman. She’s also kind of an old soul who’s beyond any desire to be out there partying. It will all be good. We look forward to another life coming into our family.
Do you worry about her finishing high school or going to college?
SP: No. She’s a very smart girl. She’s got great grades. She’s always been a very good athlete, very plugged into school. These are less than ideal circumstances, but she is making the most of this and she will be a very, very good and loving mother. And Levi will be a very good father. And it’s going to be good. And certainly, of course, as you point out, we’re not the first.
Has this changed how you talk about sex with your other children?
SP: I’ve always been a proponent of making sure kids understand – even in schools – they’d better take preventative measures so that they don’t find themselves in these less than ideal circumstances. Perhaps Bristol could be a good example to other young women that life happens and preventative measures are, first and foremost, the option that should be considered –
Have you prepared Bristol for the sleeplessness?
SP: She has helped with Trig for these months and she helped with [7-year-old sister] Piper all those years. She’s also been a very good babysitter for nieces and nephews and cousins. She knows what it’s all about. Yeah.
Do you have a favorite childhood book you’ll be passing on to your new grandbaby?
SP: Awww. Gosh. That’s a good question. Piper and I read lots and lots of nursery rhymes, of course, and we still do. There’s a couple of really good Alaskan child books, also, about the Iditarod, the sled-dog race so, in fact a couple of those – and I’m reading one of them to Piper right now – we’ll be passing those on.
