Levi Johnston Is Writing a Palin Family Tell-All ‘For Me, for My Boy Tripp, and for the Country’
nymag.com/ ^ | 4-25-11

Posted on 04/25/2011 4:05:38 PM PDT by Justaham

Apparently having run out of all other recourse to stave off the decline of his infamy (and ability to make money from it), Bristol Palin's babydaddy, Levi Johnston, is finally doing what he's long threatened and writing down everything bad he claims to know about Bristol's mom, Sarah, and the entire Palin brood. "I want to tell the truth about my close relationship with the Palins," he said in a statement from his publisher. "My sense of Sarah and my perplexing fall from grace — how I feel and what I've learned." Johnston also insisted he's not doing it for the money. "I'm doing this for me, for my boy Tripp and for the country," he added.

(Wow, being cruel to people for the sake of America is all the rage these days.) Before you dismiss this book project as a bit of fluff from a 20-year-old who doesn't seem to actually have a lot to say, remember, there's always the chance Levi could hire a hilarious ghostwriter. Look at the title: Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs. There are already three or four jokes written into just that! (Although we would have gone with Wolf Under the Helicopter ourselves.)

“”I want to tell the truth...”. Guess then he’ll have to be waterboarded.

Yes, as you point out with the Reagan kids, even good families can have kids who turn out badly. You can bring them up as well as you can, and they can still turn bad. Such is human nature.

“I guess being a “kept man” has emasculated him.”

Would you have the cajones to say that to his face, you know, just mano-a-mano out in the alley?

I'd have the cojones to spell the word correctly.

We'd have to see if mama would let him out.

Personally I don't have a problem with him.

I have a problem with folks who make him into some kind of hero.

“I want to tell the truth about my close relationship with the Palins,” he said in a statement from his publisher. “My sense of Sarah and my perplexing fall from grace — how I feel and what I’ve learned.”

Yes I know the odds favor this being just another hit-piece. But the quote can also lend itself to the interpretation he has figured out he was used and cast aside once his perceived usefulness to hurt Palin was generally neutralized. Maybe this voyage has actually allowed him to learn a few things.

I don’t blame him, the little twit needs to scam money somehow or else he’ll end up turning tricks down at the truck stop.

Is he still gonna run for Wasilla Mayor? He’d probably have trouble getting enough signatures to get on the ballot.
