Maggie Rodriguez from CBS continues to ask tough questions of Levi Johnston. I just wish that somebody would once dare to ask tough questions of Sarah Palin! So far, this has never happened - Sarah Palin is still "royalty", and you don't insult the queen. Levi however is "fair game", it seems to be a sport to criticize him or to put him in the "hot chair". I have little hope that this will change with the Oprah interview.
However, it should also be noted that Maggie Rodriguez mentions at the end of the clip that CBS have asked to interview Sarah Palin "more than a dozen times", and that she declined each of the interview requests. Therefore, maybe CBS would ask tough questions of Sarah Palin if they had the chance.
When asked if he could reconcile with the Palins, Levi said: "I don't see myself over there for Christmas". He certainly throws in some pieces of "subtle sarcasm" here and there.
But we need more than sarcasm from you, Levi. We want to hear all the "huge things" about Sarah Palin!
Update: Very promising trailer by ET - see below. We will publish the full segment after it has become available. Levi says that "Bristol was more the mother to Trig than Sarah was". I wonder why. ;-)
ET says that there will be "more shocking revelations". That's fine with us - we will wait patiently. In any case, there was hardly a time when Sarah looked less presidential, even compared to the time when she resigned. You can always count on Sarah Palin's ability for self-destruction. She should take Levi's advice and should "think deep enough" about what it is that Levi knows. Good call!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 233 of 233that's huge! it goes from gossip on msm to news quickly. the news will be "people are suggesting..." at tge very least.
buckle up, TS.
First, Barb: this Alaskan asks you to have a cozy sleep tonight. Return, refresh and keep writing. No one meant any harm. Now, JC does.
Jesse C. tries to engage and enrage us. There are many intelligent if snarky folks here and it is hard to hold back and tell him off-with facts. He doesn't address the Sarah issues-he just addresses us commemtators. Why we gotta ignore this JC virus. What is it-feed a cold, ignore a virus? We need your regional perspective. Pretty Please. I'll even take back whatever impressions I have about the valley, sorta.
I understand Craiglist and ADN are the two top sites Alaskan residents visit. This was on news here some 6 months ago. Remember activism: ad, billboard, cd of facts and photos- not just comments online.
The Daily Kos.com guy-Markos Moulitsas has a book out called something like "Taking on the System:Rules for Radicals in a digital era"- Is it about activism on web?
Let's see, Eisenhower's warning about Military Industrial Complex System..then there is Corporate System (profit making Health Care) and yeah, gotta admit the Palinrobots were just waiting for someone like her-so ready made groupies with Sarah Slaves System.
About terminology. Let's not forget that -if- SP ADOPTED Trig and went on the campaign or elsewhere, from the time of adoption forward she can call him: "my" baby, "my" son, "our" son (with Todd). Let's give her that.
It is when she makes up birth, labor, wild ride, nursing, pregnant belly stories let alone sets-up a PHOTO shoot with fake big belly prop that irks me. Liar, liar, prop on fire.
IMAGINE being the teenage mom who actually went through her first eight/nine months of pregnancy and labor and you have to hide yourself, your preggers belly, any photos of your pregnancy, not share the excitement with your teen peers, get rid of the father, tell lies, have her mom receive all the compliments, glory, baby shower, baby birth cards ETC.
Like she is a non-person (mother) and then also receive internal family messages of:you are a screw-up, your actions almost cost mom her political career (beats sliming fish), you caused mom to create crazy cover-up lie, you are immoral preggers unwed teen,you must ask God for forgiveness,maybe even has to repent in front of the witch doctor who visits SP church!
No wonder one runs to sweet Levi and creates another one. (I know of a teen mom who did that in village as she said -if tribal court takes away her baby, she'll have another one-she did, later lost custody to him as well.)
Now imagine that teen goes through all that first state-wide and later the circus/neo lights continue on the national/international media stage!!
That teen mom must need a shrink after this ordeal. Sad situation. No gilded cage in Wasilla of all places is worth this.
Young folks flee bad situations all the time and start over.
In a fantasy world, Levi should show all for a giant pay check only if Bristol reveals ALL about Babygate and then run off with their independence money to some tolerant highly democratic urban setting. Maybe visit the adult Palins about once a decade.
A truly compassionate family would have know that truth cleanses much. Either publically spill the beans and keep teen out of limelight as well as baby. Publically adopt "a" baby within family and be dignified about it. Teen visits relative. Returns, resumes normacy the wiser. But, oh no, not our Sarah.
Sarah Palin wants to play the God part
...you will know them by their fruit
To those talking "hearsay": this is not a trial and is not a court. If she said what has been reported it is certainly evidence in the "court of public opinion". If you're going to call that "hearsay", you're going to have to seriously question the admissibility of the other "court of public opinion" evidence that has been gathered in the matter. Calling it "gossip" -- considering the type of show where it was said -- would be about the worst thing it can be called.
There she goes again. Makin' stuff up!
More snowmachine-gate questions.
anon@13:38 - Celtic Diva wrote that the board went back to the Palins, because it realized they had "taken her word" about some information (they are getting wise!). That concerned an issue over Sarah Palin's claim that the contract with the sponsor was "proprietary." So the board asked for a redacted copy of the contract that would yield information it was seeking. AKM's article is EXCELLENT!
Last night's Showbiz transcript isn't up yet, but here is where they're found.
Great comments--I certainly hope no one leaves the conversation (well, maybe one person...). By the way, I know this is a free exchange, and that very few comments are deleted, as is only right--but please, folks! No trying to "out" anyone. Even if you are just making wild guesses, that really is uncalled for, and may possibly be one of the few justifiable reasons for not allowing specific comments!
Guys check this out Tank is getting popular.
Patrick, Email Michael K, Palin babygate pics etc... He is beyond insane with how he gets stuff out on his site and his readers can get Palin's Lies to go viral like you have never seen before.
Tank Jones - An Anchorage private investigator who is now working full-time as Levi Johnston's hand-holder/bodyguard/manager. First of all, his name is Tank Jones. That's some A-Team shit.

Palin lashes out against child bed wetter
Here's the relevant section of the transcript with Tanika Ray commenting on Levi:
HAMMER: Tanika Ray, here is the most important question of all. If you had the opportunity to either be in the audience for that taping of the "Oprah Winfrey Show" with Sarah Palin or be on hand for the nude "Playgirl" shoot with Levi Johnston, where are you going to be, Tanika Ray?
RAY: I`m going to be slitting my wrist. That`s what I`m going to be doing. Let`s be really honest. One thing that Levi is not is a liar. He`s not smart enough to figure out how to lie.
The guy told me straight up that Sarah Palin is a liar. He has no reason to gain from saying that she`s lying about the things that she did during the race, like when she pretended like it was her son and not her daughter`s, when she had him there and pretended like they were a happy family.
HAMMER: So you`re buying it.
RAY: He said the whole time she was lying and knew that they couldn`t stand each other ...
HAMMER: I`ve got to end it there.
RAY: ... and that they could be together anymore. So Levi, not smart, but not a liar.
HAMMER: All right. Tanika Ray, Kim Serafin, appreciate it, guys.

Todd Palin's racing partner owns a construction company with state contracts. Another rock to look under. Just sayin'.

Thanks, Bree. I think we're sure now about what Levi knows about babygate!
Hmmm.
Is T1 the son of Bristol and Levi?
And T2 the son of Bristol and ??
If Bristol and Levi couldn't stand each other during the election, then ??????? Sounds highly unlikely if she is pregnant with LEVI'S child.
And would account for the fact that you don't see much of Levi with T2. And would of course account for the tenderness we've seen with T1 and Levi, as we've suspected all along.

I am really sorry the person named Barb decided not to post here any more. I think it is a shame that somebody--not a moderator--said something to make her decide to stay away. Too bad, it seemed like she really had something to add to the discussion. Why don't you reconsider, Barb?
I agree, Anon 16:19. Barb, your comments were interesting and thoughtful. Please reconsider. Don't let one person's comments keep you away.
Thank you Bree.
It will be interesting to hear what others surmise from that exchange between AJ Hammer and Tanika Ray.
She says "Let`s be really honest." Like she is talking to someone who has been told the same things as she has but they just won't say it.
RAY: The guy told me straight up that Sarah Palin is a liar. He has no reason to gain from saying that she`s lying about the things that she did during the race, like when she pretended like it was her son and not her daughter`s, when she had him there and pretended like they were a happy family.
HAMMER: So you`re buying it.
RAY: He said the whole time she was lying and knew that they couldn`t stand each other ...
HAMMER: I`ve got to end it there.
When she says "she was lying and knew that they couldn`t stand each other ..." I think she is talking about Sarah and not Bristol.
Hearsay does not refer to being in court only.
Hearsay:
1. unverified, unofficial information gained or acquired from another and not part of one's direct knowledge: I pay no attention to hearsay.
2. an item of idle or unverified information or gossip; rumor: a malicious hearsay.
Gossip:
idle talk or rumor, esp. about the personal or private affairs of others: the endless gossip about Hollywood stars.
I am heart sick about Barb, also, too.
I hope she takes a break and remembers that she means a lot to people here. We need to hear from her again one way or another.
I just can't help myself. I have to keep going back to the Craig's List posting. Makes me have a really big and somewhat evil smile.
Maybe an apology from the person who made what was a reasonable request, a reminder to not feed the trolls, but felt compelled to add this last zinger: "We don't like it." Just say you're sorry.
I happen to agree with Barb that all comments should be allowed in order to distinguish ourselves from the palinistas. They censor and restrict free speech. I would hope that we don't!
I hear you about hearsay, but Tanika's evidence could be better than the pictures. The reason is that in court, if they had to, they could call Levi to confirm or deny what Tanika's saying. The pictures would end up being a matter of opinion between competing expert witnesses.
"Todd Palin's racing partner owns a construction company with state contracts. Another rock to look under. Just sayin'."
I said this months ago when that sports Illustrated article came out and it said very curiously
Scott had numerous LUCRTAIVE STATE CONTRACTS. I betcha that is wht he LIED about giving Palin that Arctic Gear etc... because you know Scott is with team Todd both on the machine and off.
BARB, PLEASE COME BACK!!!! I miss you.
I don't know a lot about the troll issue, but when one of them is one who participated in the attacks on Gryphen I don't know what his/her value is to the discussion. When a troll's posts are off-topic they're not worthwhile. Put up a sign, "Idiocy Not Tolerated."
Why would Tanika lie about what Levi told her?
It sounds like this Tamika is not aware of the blogs this Bree and Palingates and the attempt to prove what she so easily tossed off!
I bet she has no idea that this is HUGE. Or....people realize the fraud but don't like discussing children or bringing them into the spotlight.
New blog post for Tanika Ray discussion
If a comment is truly a troll, that is not free speech. Not something to feed. That deserve to be tossed before it is a successful technique.
If people are calling someone a troll but they are not, that is name calling. An apology is due.
Barb - there have been many comments in this thread addressed to you. I hope that you have the chance to read them, especially Patrick's, and that you will reconsider your decision as your valued input is important to this community.
It is one thing to attack the trolls, quite another to attack the regular, contributing commenters. I thought Barb was treated in a rude manner. I hope she comes back.
And here's another angle to consider--in the zeal to tell this person, Barb, not to respond to the troll, the troll actually wins: (not planned--the other commenters did it for him): now someone with valuable insights and perhaps inside info has fled this blog. And that's too bad.
BARB, WE ALL MISS YOU!!! PLEASE CONSIDER COMING BACK. YOU OFFER SUCH GREAT COMMENTS & KNOWLEDGE.
Barb, If you are not comfortable in the Palingate discussions, I do hope to see you on one of the other sites. Your local insight and knowlegdge provided me with hope that things were going to move towards a conclusion that was good for all Americans. I am so sorry that folks in this community felt it necessary to chastise inapporpriately. I apologize to you for them.
