This is rich. The adult portion of the nation has been looking at this misguided deadbeat dad with disgust since we discovered what he really was. And now he claims to be disgusted?? He really is as troubled a kid, as he is troubling. This will not end well for him. And he doesn't even know it, yet. That is almost sad. I wonder if he doesn't suspect that no one really cares about him at all, except for some few using him for their own goals and agendas every now and then.
Johnston: I just look at her in disgust. ... It's almost funny, that she's like, 46 years old, and she's battling a 19 year old, and I'm winning. And I'm telling the truth. She's lying and losing. ... If you look at her face, she's got -- she's really -- you can tell her mind's going 100 miles an hour when Oprah asked her those Levi questions. ... I've got a lot more knowledge and credibility than she gives me credit for.


" ... when Tank asks Levi if he's thought about doing Playgirl. Levi, wearing aviator sunglasses and sitting in the backseat of an SUV, says "I'd do it...if it would get me out of there."
... and when does that child custody hearing "come up" [no pun intended] ?

Oddly, Palin and Johnston need each other.
Both require the media spotlight to maintain their personal agendas.
Since we live in a "Jon and Kate plus eight" media culture, the back and forth keeps both from falling off the media focus.

Johnson will be the one to take Palin down a few notches... I can't wait for him to open up and tell us about the "real" Sarah Palin... going to be fun, fun, fun......

They need each other?? Palin doesn't need him. I think she feels sorry for him. i know i do. I think he's headed for a drug related death. This kid is alone. His mother is in jail. His sister...i don't know where she is. And he's in Hollywood doing whatever to keep from becoming irrelevant. And he's so angry. why? It's almost like he's angry at her for the mistakes he makes. He can disappear off the face of the earth and it won't hurt the palins. She can disappear and his reason for living is gone.

Oh, yeah, Levi. You're winning. She's about to sell hundreds of thousands of books, and is adored by millions. But she's never gotten a TV commercial selling nuts, or had a date with Kathy Griffin. All she's done is Oprah. How pathetic.

How do you think the world sees you Levi? You started out engaged to a beautiful girl, who was pregnant with your child and you had an apprenticeship with the oil company--a union job--you would have had a comfortable living in Alaska.
Now you got a date with an ugly old hag--Kathy Griffin, you've got no job, and in order to support your son you are selling naughty pics of yourself and generally making yourself ridiculous.
And could someone please tell me what he was doing at the "teen choice" awards? Sheesh.

wow...19 and sole source of income is from exposing his genitals.
popular? conan o'brien is calling him a "douche" on national television.
certainly does "smell like victory", ;).
never fear levi, something tells me you'll be on the biggest loser in less than five years.

there seems to be some freudian slips coming thru, pl.
between your hope for him to "open up" and "down a few notches", I gather that if you aren't psychotical in the closet, then you would make andy sullivan look like a puritan.

He dated the Governor's daughter, probably to earn some prestige, Sarah didn't shun him, and he has earned the proper level of contempt by being steared
by Rex and Tank

Levi Johnston is a pretty good example of all that's wrong about our nation. The lack of integrity and willingness to sell your dignity one has for 15 minutes of fame. He's about out of ammo, unless they make a "trainwrecks" reality tv show.
Hopefully Levi's kid won't take after him.

Sully is obsessed with reproductive organs of both Mrs. Palin and Mr. johnston. Looks like some of the commenters have a similar fascination with LJ.

Tripp: Daddy, why did you abandon me and make up lies which no one listened to about my grandmother, Sarah Palin?

"Johnson will be the one to take Palin down a few notches"
Proud Libeler,
kinda like Gryphen was going to take her down a notch? Your whole little fever swamp of collectivist delusion has yet to come up with anything with any air of truthiness after a over a year of demented conjecture and rumor-mongering. You all might consider slithering back into the primordial ooze from which you arose in the hope that you may someday evolve into a higher life form (an amoeba, perhaps).
And BTW, it's Johnston, with a t. Idiot.
Posted by: ol_dirty_/b/tard | Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 04:45 PM
He is useful right up until the minute he isn't and he will be thrown away like the trash he is. I don't care that his mother is a drug addict arrested for fraduently obtaining drugs he had and has an opportunity to MAN UP and actually WORK for a living instead of taking these small baubles he is getting to SMEAR a good woman (did I say perfect woman?NO). Levi is the exact type of gutter snipe that ends up dead from an overdose of drugs because the problem with him is INTERNAL and the leeches who feed off him today will move on to another gutter snipe tomorrow!

Rokker's treponeme has gone tertiary. Palin must need Couric and Sully and Chris M. and Charlie G. and Barbara and Oprah and...ad infinitum...almost as much, 'eh?

i had no idea. i did catch his condom ad, and thought he'd be the perfect example of why you shouldn't reproduce with morons.
i wonder if andy has sampled the 'nuts' that levi is hawking.
maybe playgirl could be the first to feature a scratch and sniff centerfold.
Posted by: mark l. | Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 05:55 PM
This kid is so goofed up at 19, it's unbelievable. Sounds like he thinks he will be in a child custody battle with Sarah Palin instead of Bristol, the mother of the child. His actions, activities to date certainly will not paint the picture of a stable home for his child. Lots and lots of print and video coverage of his life this last year.
Most assuredly he is being used for financial gain by the attorney for his mother and by the PI/bodyguard. Wonder how much percentage he gets to keep--2.5 per cent....balance being charges for his mother's attorney fees, his agency fees, etc. Poor dumb kid! Sure hope he has some saved for the IRS.
Posted by: fb274 | Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 06:17 PM
Most likely, his disgust comes from Sarah's avoidance of his name. He has done everything (waaaaaaaa) and she still won't talk about him.
tsk tsk tsk
The more he blabbers, the less likely any judge will consider any type of custody conditions for him. This is good for the baby.
Piece of advice Levi, shut up, get a decent job, and do what is right instead of what feels good.
You sell your soul to the devil and you become.......
Posted by: Meadow | Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 06:58 PM
I've been on Oprah.com's message boards for a couple of weeks to track the Palin haters. It's amazing.
Here's one of my posts after one of the Sarahphobes expressed her hopes Levi would say that Trig is Bristol's child:
http://www.oprah.com/community/message/1201993#1201993
*********************************************
It's absolutely amazing to me the way women who call themselves feminists flip-flop their principles along party lines.
The history is long. When Republican Senator Robert Packwood was accused of sexual harassment of the women on his staff, Democrat females demanded public hearings targeting him after the release of thousands of pages of his diary, in which he memorialized details of his encounters with them. The special prosecutor assigned to comb through Packwood's diary? Kenneth Starr. Even though public hearings did not commence, everybody got to see what most of what Packwood did and said about those women, thanks to Starr. Packwood resigned in disgrace in 1995.
Now, fast forward to 1997. Former Arkansas secretary Paula Jones had previously filed a sexual harassment suit alleging that President Clinton, while Governor of Arkansas, dropped trou and asked her to (ahem) do a certain type of job. Clinton fought the suit all the way to the Supreme Court, and lost. In 1997, he is reluctantly deposed by Jones' lawyers, who ask if he's been sexual with the White House women. "No," he lies, and is contradicted by audio evidence implying he's been getting that certain type of job done by Monica Lewinsky. A perjury investigation begins as a result.
Who's in charge of the Lewinsky investigation? Again, Kenneth Starr. He held grand jury hearings featuring testimony from Lewinsky herself about all the jobs she did for Clinton in the Oval Office. Some are pressing for public release of the investigation. But this time, Democrat women are dead set against it -- "It's none of our business," "he has a right to privacy," "it's only sex," "everybody lies about sex," etc. On top of that, they sometimes suggested that there might be something wrong with Lewinsky for saying that she even did those jobs.
On March 22, 1998, feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem even wrote an editorial in the New York Times ("Feminists and the Clinton Question") in which she implied that every male boss got one free shot at exposing himself to his female underlings before it's called "harassment." (Don't bother searching the Times' website to find that editorial -- they have removed it. But if you search hard enough, you'll find it elsewhere.)
Which, finally, brings us to today. We have a handsome but unskilled young man who gets his girlfriend -- whose mother is famous -- "in trouble." They have plans to marry, but those plans fall through. Rather than maintain a cordial relationship with his ex, he leaps at offers to possibly make a lot of money if he would trash her family publicly. He tries to parlay his ex's family's fame into a showbiz career for himself, and moves to Southern California, 3,500 miles away from his infant son.
Under normal circumstances, one would think a feminist -- especially a feminist with a teenage daughter -- would recoil to be associated with such a cad. But ... the famous almost-mother-in-law is a famous conservative woman. That changes everything. Now, rather than seeing him as pathetic, they hang on every little indignity he inflicts on his ex's family, hoping that someday, he will drop a figurative nuclear bomb on her family, devastating them into lifelong shame.
Why do they wish this to happen? I can't even begin to understand.
"Ladies?"

Levi - another shining example of our future leaders. Irresponsible to the core, entirely and completely self-centered, absolutely valueless, Godless, and proud of it. A complete waste of human sperm. And probably a blooming future senator......God please help us.
Posted by: DaveinPhoenix | Tuesday, November 17, 2009 at 08:18 PM
Be careful of falling into this trap. They eft would love for this to devolve into a soap opera madness thus deligitamizing Mrs. Palin. Thus the pushing of the poor idiot Levi on the world.
That being said this kid is so dim it's really unbelievable. You can sense the folly of youth in his every action and statement. He is a poor lost soul, he thinks he cowardly, craven act of abandoning his child (probably for the best) in an effort to promote himself will last beyond this months headlines. Pity this poor soul and yes, pray for him. I'm no saint, none of us are, but this poor kid needs some guidance.

Who's Levi Johnston?
Posted by: Elmo | Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 04:58 AM
I am in the same age bracket as Levi. What 19 year old D-celebrity needs a bodyguard and a poor lawyer at his whim? I don't know what they are telling Levi, but it seems like he is getting milked for money--possibly too naive to realize it. I feel sorry for Bristol...
If Levi really wanted to see his kids, he should probably man up and get a job instead of throwing his junk on a camera to make his puppet masters rich. You don't need a bodyguard to see your kid...
