Levi Johnston interview on the Early Show (CBS) - second part (video) - " I stand by my story, 100 percent, it's true" - UPDATE: Levi on ET

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!

  4. The video loads fine for me (using the Google Chrome browser). When I used Firefox, I did see that the "adblock add-on" might block the video, in case you have this add-on activated.

    Levi has now revealed that he knows "huge things" about Sarah Palin and so it will only be a matter of time before the cat is out of the bag.

    You can't say something like that and not expect the world to hassle you for the truth. Anyone who believes that is being totally naive and unrealistic.

  11. Levi says that Sarah wanted Bristol to hide the pregnancy and let her adopt the baby.

    Sarah quit the governorship for money.

  13. Levi said $P first started talking about quitting the governorship about the time of the convention. She probably thought she'd get elected out of it. She said, "God won't let the wrong candidate win," so it must have been a big let-down for her to go back to a "boring" job.

  17. Somehow Levi comes across as an honest young man and I believe everything he says. Poor Sarah, not all your "stage props" are so willing to go back into the closet.
    We know he is the whole key to babygate and much more...get that book published Levi! I have a feeling he has a deal and a book already to go to be released shortly after Sarahs..maybe even before Xmas.

  19. “This is one of more than a thousand requests for the governor's time,” said Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton. “This particular invitation arrived late last week. It is under consideration, as so many are, but will be incredibly difficult to attend with her tightly-scheduled book tour underway at that point.”

  20. Absolutely fascinating.

    I for one find Levi to be honest and straight forward. A young man who was used and thrown out by the Palin family is now finding a way to navigate the attention she threw his way.

    Sarah comes across as anything but truthful. She thinks she can intimidate or bully everyone, including Levi into submission, well she just primed him to be her truth-teller.

    Sarah never looks ahead at consequences, a good reason she could never be President! But now she has someone who is not in her family that she can't intimidate and won't back down from her manipulations.

    I am proud of Levi for standing up to her. It takes a lot of courage and I believe he is standing on priciple and maybe a little anger, and rightly so. She used him for her purposes and then back stabbed him when she had no use for him.

    I have no pity for Sarah and I hope that he exposes her lies and lets her find out that not everyone can be manipulated or intimidated by her.

    Whose the retard now Sarah! Those words should have never come out of your mouth! And yet you know they did and someone is telling on you! Shame on You!

    It really shows how stupid she really is!

  21. Did you all hear when Maggie asked "Do you ever wish you could go back to your old life....married to Bristol...?" Did she mean that literally? S.H.

  22. Sarah Palin's only interest is enriching herself. She wants to sell herself for profit. She’s not interested in politics or public service – she can’t make money doing that legitimately. If she were interested in public service she would be in Alaska doing the job she was elected to do.

  23. I am on Team Levi.

    But I have a bont to pick about this situation: how and why did McCain EVER go along with the charade of bringing unwed teenaged lovers onstage at the 2008 RNC convention? His staff had already scrubbed their MySpace pages, so they knew what they were getting into. I scratched my head at the time (9/2/08) thinking: How can they do this to a couple of kids?

    You' d have to know almost NOTHING about human nature to think that was going to work out well.

    It would have been so much better just to have the Palin kids up there onstage.

    Anyway, I think Levi seems very honest and transparent.

  24. Sorry- above that should have been "bone to pick."

  25. Levi would probably like to get back together with Bristol and Tripp, but while she's under Sarah's sway it may not be possible.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Several remarks interest me. One was made by Levi in yesterday's interview, indicating that he knew things about Sarah-- something she did not do while she was governor.

    Well, that would cover a number of issues: neglecting health care for the seniors, neglecting the native community, pick the group or issue that she neglected. I am thinking that it was more along the lines of not reporting something that should have been reported. Levi stopped just short of saying whether this act was illegal, immoral.........

    The other comment, posted above, was Sarah's belief that "God woulnd't let the wrong candidate win." I think that Sarah's concept of a moral compass is not internal but what "God lets her get away with," in the spirit of "I'll do it until the courts say that I can't."

    I think that Sarah went into a much deeper depression than we realize if she had put the election in God's hands. (McCain was a realist; he knew that in politics, you can't win every time. How he felt emotionally was never on show).

    To have the supreme being let Sarah down is a very heavy burden. Especially, when she credited God with showing her doors to push through. (Reminds me of the way that George W. Bush governed, being directed by God instead of studying and discussing the issues with experts).

    So, if Sarah neglected to report something, she could justify it by saying, "If God wanted me to report it, he would have filled out the forms for me." the big question is: What did Sarah fail to report? Ginormous House? Something to do with all the $$$$ in the PAC and/or legal defense fund? Something to do with Trig???
    Medical reports? Insurance?

  27. Something Sarah did not do while governor? She obviously didn't talk to her daughter.

  29. If Levi is serious about writing a book, I hope he uses some of his Playgirl payout to hire a good ghostwriter. He needs some teaser chapters, to bootstrap the process with potential book agents and publishers. I just don't see a book happening otherwise.

  32. OK, I'm going to try this one more time.

    Levi said "I know something she didn't do while governor."

    I know something she didn't do as governor, too.

    Give birth to Trigg.

    Thank you, Levi, for the fun hunting trip through your clues.

    As always, I suspect Levi and Tank sit up for hours writing these clues to be worded JUST SO.

    If I'm right, I find Levi to be the most well spoken of the entire klan.

    And if he spends enough time in NY and LA he might just get the Palin cleaned out of him and become a normal person who doesn't hate the gay and other colored among us. Not that he does now, I'm just saying prejudice seems to be common for Wasilla.

    As for JC, noting that he's from Michigan, I apologize on behalf of all Michiganders. There are many areas where Southerners migrated to MI during the depression, and you still find that whites only evangelical nonsense in those towns; as if the south were transplanted up north. Furthermore, there are a lot of areas in MI where one lives in the wilderness pretty much. And then we have our fair share of hicks and rednecks voting against their own best interests and blaming the Mi government for the change in industries in MI, as if the government has control over manufacturing demands. Ignorance is everywhere.

    I feel like I know from whence JC (please, he clearly thinks he's Jesus Christ, and that alone tells us everything) hails, and it's basically Wasilla in MI.

    also, too, Track had friends in MI. And I have family that moved from MI to AK, so there you go.

    The crazy breeds all over.

  35. Levi is a average teenaged boy. He's not sophisticated in the ways of the world. He's not educated. He was used by Palin and the RNC. No wonder he's speaking out. He's just trying to make his way in the world with the opportunities thrust on him.

  38. Levi has shown a remarkable ability to learn. Tank and Rex are very sophisticated and know how to "clean up" their clients. Levi has stayed with the program. Probably the Tank/Rex team are delighted to work with a guy who is basically a nice, caring person.

    I think you are right that Levi was indicating Palin did not experience a pregnancy during her partial term as governor.

    However, I am a Southerner, born in the South and have lived here all my life; my kids, too. Bigotry is not a regional thing. I do think that some churches promote intolerance.

  41. Love the craig's list advert!

    Also, too, lately someone posted another video of her wearing scarves and the scarves laid FLAT down, straight down, NO curve.

    Sarah really thinks she can put one over on people. Typical NPD.

    Her PR move today was SO stupid, it made me giddy with delight.

    Oh, Sarah, we've missed you makin' a fool of yourself and makin' things up! Bring it, sister.

    The media LOVES it. And one day, you will be their meat.

    It happens to all who gobble up the celebrity the way Palin has -- with nothing of substance to back it up.

    Down down down. And it will be painful, seemingly-never-ending, and excruciatingly intern-national.

    No where to go.

    Even Alaska.

    "Bigotry is not a regional thing. I do think that some churches promote intolerance."

    I know. I meant that when I said the "crazy breeds all over". But, having lived in the south and having relatives in the south, I can say with some ease that the sort of prejudice we see from insular southern towns is the same as we see in the northern insular towns, many of which are like a transplanted southern town.

    I've lived all over this country and each region has its own brand of problems, prejudice, etc.

    The southern brand of racism is specific, it does use Sarah Palin as its poster child, and I'm not going to pretend it doesn't.

    I'm not trying to offend you. I have southern roots. The north has racism of a different sort, the west has racism of another sort...

    It's all over.

    But the Sarah Palin brand is very easily identified to me as southern. It's not called the southern strategy for nothing.

    The south has many wonderful aspects to it -- traditions and civility and hospitality to strangers. :-) No offense intended.

  44. Sarah calling anyone a retard is in line with her mocking Lyda Green's cancer with Bob Lester of the "The Bob and Mark Show." Bob Lester, lover of Lori Tipton, another dismal media type.

  45. My favorite part of the Craigslist ad? The top portion of the screen, where it has the general disclaimer (which I'm sure is meant to protect Craigslist from anything that might be posted on there pertaining to kiddie porn, etc- but works in an ironic way given this particular ad):

    "Please report suspected exploitation of minors to the appropriate authorities"

    ReplyDelete
  46. This is in response to "Team Sherlock" @8:36 in the previous thread who said:

    "I was lucky enough to sneak into the membership for Team Sarah and Consevatives4Palin.....good golly, those sheeple say they will Kill for her and Die for her! They talk about what kinds of guns they have and how many bullets. Do they not know who they are following? Are these uneducated folks who cannot read? Cannot absorb what they are hearing? It boggles my mind.

    I'll tell you what boggles the mind even more! I know a family in Wasilla - I will not "out" them, but let me say that the parents are HIGHLY educated, very advanced degrees. Parents socialize with and ADORE Sarah. I have respectfully (via e-mail and once when they were visiting my State) questioned them about some of her less-than-stellar deeds/qualifications.
    They hit the roof! I am talking about screaming obscenities at me and letting me know how I will change my tune when she is President in 2012."
    I once thought that only the uber religious, uneducated folks supported her. I still think that DOES make up most of her base.
    But she has winked and blinked and cast a spell on some more "normal" people - and I suspect many in her little village of Wasilla are loyal to her.
    That is why we must keep exposing her lies, her fraud and her insanity.

  47. "Please report suspected exploitation of minors to the appropriate authorities"

    That includes Trig!

    ReplyDelete
  48. First of all, I heard Levi say that the huge things were things she had done while she was Governor. I could go back and listen a few more times, but, really, it doesn't matter-- the one major thing she DID do as Governor was to talk her daughter into giving up claim to Trig, fake a pregnancy, and then make Bristol take care of him most of the time anyway. (allegedly)

    I'd say that was pretty HUGE.

    I recall the original comment from Levi in the VF article was something like this: Sarah would come home from "work" and he and Bristol would have the two babies, and someone would hand her Trig and she would say "No, I don't want the retarded one, I want the other one".

    Don't ya just love Sarah?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Oh, and I TOTALLY believe, in light of the fact that I believe Levi when he says she called Trig "retarded", and that she (totally provably on tape) LAUGHED about a cancer survivor and LAUGHED when a radio jock called Ms. Green a "bitch", that she ALSO could have said "So, Sambo beat the bitch" and giggled hysterically about it in a resaurant in full view and hearing of everyone. TOTALLY.

    Also, TOTALLY believe that she could have said to a black man who approached her in some establishment (who did not know who she WAS, apparently) that she did not associate with black men.

    She also is alleged to have said that she was not interested in having a diverse (read "African Americans included in) staff because she did not HAVE to. Then she tried to claim that Bill McAllister was African American, so that took care of diversity. Mr. McAllister may well come from a mixed heritage, but one would certainly have to look very closely to see it. So, whatever, Sarah.......

    .....but I believe Levi, and not you, and I believe you have a "thing" about black people, including our President, and that is a large part of why you were so disappointed to have lost the election. I suppose you wondered how "God" could have let the black man, and not Crash McCain and Saint Sarah, win.

    I'm also thinkin' maybe Levi IS that sweet that he could kiss some baby that (maybe) wasn't even his, just because he felt sorry for the little guy.

  50. "...I am talking about screaming obscenities at me and letting me know how I will change my tune when she is President in 2012."

    gigi21, I'd take that as a threat directed at you.

    I wonder if they meant that threat in terms of some Michele Bachmann type of Palin concentration camp, where non-believers are brain-cleansed of their heretical opinions?

    You should ask.

    While you're at it, ask them if they know of some way a seriously marginalized uber-right-wing minority can pick up 230-250 electorial votes in 2012, when even moderate right-wing/Red states barely can accumulate enough electorial votes to carry the day without some shenanigans (2000, Florida chads; and 2004 Ohio)?

    Surely they're intelligent enough to answer that question without going into another incoherent tirade...

  51. Sarah Palin is too sedated to act responsible, yet she is still responsible for all she has signed off for others to do in her name.

    Is it Pam Pryor who is now above Meg Stapleton? Pryor and Stapleton are responsible to monitor what is going on with groups like Team Sarah.

    Palin, Pryor and Stapleton are the same as Team Sarah and Bill Collier and that Kevin Collins if they don't publically disassociate from the lies and loons on those blogs. Palin, Pryor and Stapleton will take money from Team Sarah, they are complicit with what is allowed there. Why wait until someone is harmed to disassociate?

    Have the monitors of hate groups been alerted to comments about killing for Sarah Palin? I would think Homeland Security would pay attention.

    Pryor, as a lead spokesperson while Palin is incapacitated needs to address what is going on in the name of Sarah Palin.
    If some nuts shoots anyone because they are trying to kill for Sarah, THAT WILL BE ON SARAH. It is totally irresponsible not to address groups and comments that are allowing violence to be incited and armies to form around mantras like killing for Sarah.

    What is happening on blogs like that is serious. Pryor must address this and make clear they are in no way connected to blogs that promote killing or sedition.

    To ignore addressing the kill comments makes Sarah Palin complicit with the threats and when something happens she needs to be included in the crimes.

  58. Ok, this is totally not relative to the discussion here. But I thought it was hilarious. It's something I saw on facebook, a name-anagram maker. I'm sure most know this, but an anagram is when you take the letters of a word, phrase, or name and rearrange them into something else.
    As I have mentioned, my own name is a palindrome -- a fact which I used to find novel and interesting until someone confused it in writing as "palindrone"! BUT my point is -- little word games and puzzles and things like that are fun to me.

    So... do our name anagrams say anything about us? I put in my own first and last name plus that of a few -- ahhh -- notable folks;) and I think it's mighty funny and a little interesting also too though!

    Here is the url in case you want to anagram your own name!

    My own name anagram:
    And plan on, huh?
    funny to me because I am a 'planner' to the nth degree.

    Gee, I thought of one!

    Sarah Palin's name anagram:

    Don't really need to add commentary to that now do I?

    Even better with her FULL name-

    Because she is nagging SP about that wiiiild airplane ride!

    Patrick and Kathleen name anagram:

    Huh. No explanation needed THERE, either.

    Bristol Palin's name anagram:

    Wouldn't THAT be nice?

    Thomas Van Flein's name anagram:

    Should I be laughing? I think I should be laughing...

  60. Amazon hosts a bunch of jaw-dropping $arahsites. Since Lynn Vincent's book hasn't come out yet, many $P fans and a few detractors have started discussion threads. More than a few of the former have said piously--clearly believing this utterly--that $P left office because of all of the false charges brought against her by the Big Bad Democrats, and that her piggy-bank funds are ONLY to pay her legal bills.

    Riiiiiight. There I've also read that George Soros subsidizes all us $P skeptics (George, the check please??), and that Celtic Diva is a plant, Linda being "employed" by the DNC. I'm sure she'd be surprised to "know" that as well!

    Thanks to Patrick, we seem to have hit the big time. I'm so happy to have him as my partner in blogging!

  68. Regina,
    I was reading the Huffpo story about 'Pie Spy/Rachel Maddow story'.Above the comments section it will list other stories on the Net as well that are related to that topic. I'm sure the software programs picks these based on ' key words ' and such. One of these links is Your story about 'Pie spy '. So... Huffpo does get traffic linked back to your posts, even if it is by accident and not intentional. Just something to think about in the future.

    As for Levi. I think it is good that he has not spoken about specific ' details '... Yet. Rex Butler is a Lawyer. Analogy. We have all heard the expression used in these TV Shows ( Law & Order fan )that you never ask a question to the person on the stand unless you know the answer beforehand.You don't want to be surprised. Rex and Levi don't know what is in the book to refute yet.When the book comes out... that becomes Sarah's testimony, on the record. Thinking like the Lawyer that Rex is, they can pick apart the testimony of the witness,Sarah. It seems like a fairly straightforward smart move. Levi just needs to wait till the 17th... then talk as sort of a rebuttal witness. They will know Her answers to the questions then.And they will have prepped Levi about his rebuttal answers. Make him feel and seem more polished and confidant on camera as well. I'm hoping this is part of Rex's plan.It seems like common sense.The old sales tool "KISS" : Keep It Simple Stupid comes to mind. They don't want surprises or ' gotcha questions ' in interviews that may make him appear evasive or not know what he is talking about. My .02

  69. RE Levi:

    I really hope he doesn't do the Full Johnston. The consequences of this could really hurt him in the future, especially in a custody or visitation issue for his son. Levi is so young and naive, I really hope someone who cares about him-- not some hanger-on --- is advising him for his own good.

    This is just a momentary snicker to most of us, but it might really hurt him.

  70. I'm reposting this from an older thread:

    Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Open thread - Taking a break":

    I am 5 days late posting this comment so I don't know if anyone will see it.
    I have five children. My last child was born when I was 41 years old. I was pretty slim when I got pregnant. Of all my pregnancies, I had a bigger belly earlier than with any other. I had to wear maternity clothes at 4 months, and I was pushing it. At first, I just wore clothes that were too big for me. But I got so big so fast. My Doctor said that happens with ALL women. The more pregnancies you have, the bigger you get, faster, as your muscles are already used to being stretched out.
    So, yes, it is a legitimate question for Scarah to answer.
    I believe from my own personal experience and others close to me, that Scarah was NOT pregnant when she clamed she was.

  76. honestyinGov - That is a good point about Rex and Levi.

    For those worried about Levi and full frontal. Remember he is not hiding anything.

    As for the custody. Porn stars and producers have divorces and custody. Being nakkid, as long as it is legal, is not going to effect custody.

    The whole nakkid thang is about all Palin has to trash Levi. He's nakkid he must be a liar. That's about it for a Palin meme on Levi. People will see through her shallow rebuttal no matter how nakkid Levi goes.

    Palin will be having more worries than what Levi is saying coming to her.

    Have a safe and wonderful journey Regina.

  77. It sure is an expensive proposition to be in team Sarah's corner...

    1) Buy "Going Rogue".

    2) From c4p: Now go and donate to the Hoffman campaign. And if you've done so already, go and do it again. It's that important.

    3) Team Sarah is trying to raise $41,000 for an Iowa appearance in November.

    4) Stand Up for Your Nation will more than likely have their hand out in the near future.

    5) SarahPAC will soon be making requests for a strong donation push for year end reporting.

    6) If you have any money left in your wallet after all this then there's always the Alaska Fund Trust which is the official website for the GOVERNOR Sarah Palin legal expense fund. If the well is dry then could you please take a second job so that you can do your expected part.

    Those porn stars and producers are in California courts.

    This baby is in Wasilla; that is where the case would be heard. It's bad enough for him that his Mom is doing time on drug charges; judges are local people, and they look at the environment a child is in when looking at custody or visitation.

    I'm just saying I hope he has good advice from honest friends, not only people who are using him to cash in on his notoriety. They will move on when he is no longer flavor of the month, but Levi has to live with this a long time.

    Just my opinion.

  83. anon @ 22 10, I don't think people are worried that Levi posing nekkid IS detrimental to being a parent/pursuing custody...they are probably worried about the same thing I am -- that SP will make it into something worth worrying about. I mean if a PHOTOGRAPH became "selling his body" in a press release -- can you imagine what it would 'become' in SP's world given lawyers, time, and enough faux righteous indignation to start the 'bots battle-crying "don't give the beh-behs to a PERVERT!!!"...?

    I think that is one reason WHY Levi feels he has nothing to lose/hide -- he knows that it doesn't really matter what he does. SP & follies will "make" him be the loser, idiot, thug, svengali who took advantage of pwecious, virginal Bristol.

    Not true, of course. In fact, total FICTION. That is exactly why I think she will do something like that...it's her MO all over. Fake it til you make it -- and if that doesn't work, start arresting family members and put People mag on speed dial.

    Poor Levi. I believe he is good, I really do. How much teenage boys, self-professed "simple types" who enthuse over hunting, fishing, and little else -- volunteer their time for special olympics?

    Of course, many say that Levi only did special olympics because of Trig. To me, that makes it all the more endearing and touching.

    My point is...unlike SOME people, Levi does good things and does not feel the need to have a photo op to show the world. If someone else hadn't dug it up and posted about it, I bet we would have no clue about the volunteer work and adeptness with special-needs children -- because HE would not have said a thing.

    Funny -- isn't that what the BIBLE says about "charity"? Here we have Levi following it to the letter, but Saint Sarah having three different tabloids plus her personal videographer to watch her sling soup in a shelter kitchen for six minutes.

  90. To the poster who called me out:

    I was originally was considering refraining from posting in this thread, but I have to post this in response.

    You don't know where I'm from in Michigan. The state is big enough as it is, sticking out like a big blue sore thumb (pun intended).


    I don't blame the government for all of Michigan's problems. However, they do get the credit for many of the failings of our state's economy. The fact that it is run by Democrats may cause some liberals to rush to denounce me, but it is true. The state has been run into the ground, and the Democrats were in charge the whole time. I never voted for Granholm, our Canadian governor. I'm quite glad of that fact, actually.

    I see Sarah Palin as the type of Governor I would want in my state. She could do a lot of good down here, unbridled by a flawed Alaskan ethics system.

    That's part of the reason I vigourously defend her; they don't call us the Wolverine State for nothing. Check out the history of the Toledo War.

    As for Levi, he is simply repeating himself. Now I'm wishing he just would say something for the sake of it. At least try to be entertaining if you're going to do a major interview.

  93. Jesse-

    Honey, Michigan has been in trouble before liberals. Michigan was in trouble before ANY real part division set in...and if you really live here then you KNOW that. Michigan has, unfortunately, been on its way down for quite awhile now. Sad but true.

    Jesse, when you say that you would "want Sarah Palin as a governor" even after the ruins she left her own city/state in not to mention the fact that she QUIT the job...
    THOSE are the kind of remarks that make people think you're a plant, or a fake, or a comedian, or someone doing a social experiment...

    Surely you understand how unbelievable it is that anyone would ADMIT to "wanting" her as a governor? She, as the kids say nowadays, "totes sucked" at the job and left the state in a million different kind of shambles than it already WAS in. It's like a Texan saying that want GWB back as governor. Anyone dumb enough to feel that way would hopefully be at least too smart to admit it.

    ReplyDelete
  97. It would be in the Palmer court and it would be a matter with world attention if Ambassador Bristol Palin goes to court to fight Levi over custody. Levi's team would not sit back and allow a blatantly unfair judge to go unchecked. It would not be typical for the Palmer courts with the world media all over the Valley 24/7. From what I understand both the Palins and Johnstons want to avoid court and work things out in private. If it did go to court it would be like nothing Palmer has seen before. Palmer might ask it to be moved to Anchorage or elsewhere.

    It is a given that Palin will make hay with the nakkid news cycles. They have already started and it is about all they have. I betcha Team Levi is aware of how the holier-than-thous will bomb the news and internet. I don't know what Team Levi has to counter that bull but I betcha they will use what they feel necessary. I think they are finding it funny and not a big worry.

    The more trash out there on Levi the more he will push back. Even if it is unanimous in public opinion that he lies because he is nakkid, I don't see that holding up for the long run. I don't want to see him full frontal, it's not my taste, I rather he not do it. Still I don't think it will matter much over all and it won't ruin his credibility when all is said and done. IMO only.

    I said "For those worried about Levi and full frontal." not that I "think people are worried."
    There are those that have expressed the worry.

  98. Hannah, here are the facts. I live here. I breathe the air. I drink the water. I know the imcompetent politicians. Compare the unemployment rates before Granholm took office and the rates now:

    We went from 6.2% to 15.2% unemployment. If this had been a Republican administration, would you be so quick to defend them?

    Yes, Michigan may have been on its way down, but Granholm did nothing to break the fall. Instead of laying out a cushion for us to land on, she put out a rock for us to dash ourselves upon.

  108. Who supports Palin as a mother who mocks?29 October 2009 at 23:41

    You can hear Palin mock on the radio show laughing about Lyda Green's cancer. There is more about the Sambo remark and others. The most recent is that she calls a precious innocent child in her family a retard.

    Sarah Palin can sue Levi. Bristol and the other children would be able to testify about all of it.

    The people who support Palin as a mother who mocks are the same ones who go viral about Levi going naked in Playgirl.

    It is about their ethics and morals. They clearly ignore the mocking and that she could call a child retard as Levi states.

    Mock others but don't work as a model if you are naked? I have nudists in my family, it is natural for some people. I wish I wasn't as hung up and modest as I am. It is ridiculous to do the judgmental crap about a Levi modeling job.

    Playgirl may end up in print. It is now an on-line endeavor that you must pay for.

The women said their voice mail quickly filled with angry, profane messages, some of them threatening."

    I know this sounds a bit strange, but do any of you think Palin might tell the truth about Trig in her book. Or if not the truth, some made up story that makes her look saintly?? I say this because I can't believe she is going to say in writing that because of her pro-life stance, she chose to give birth to Trig. Does she really believe the truth won't come out? Because it will. Someone mentioned that this whole feud might be a publicity stunt and I almost wonder myself. I mean is she so dense that she doesn't see that fighting with a 19 year old publically is the dumbest thing on earth? The timing of all this is weird.

  142. I'm surprised that several people think that Palin would admit that she's not the mother of Trig. NEVER. Her mental illness would never allow such a thing.

    There are times that it is all too much with all the Sarah drama. We all need to take a break from time to time. I can't imagine living in Alaska or near Wasilla. Anyone that endures her deserves a special medal.

  146. Actually, PCG, she always thought Palin was a mess. But I guess she had not really allowed herself to realize how...well, there is just no polite way to say it...My mother is very kind. But she thinks Palin is really handling the Iowa situation poorly and even immaturely.

    Palin wanted to claim Levy and Bristol's child as hers....so supposedly Sarah had have Trig recently and was considering to fake a pregnancy while being consider for VP?
    That allegation alone is enough to generate more interviews for levy.

  164. I think Palin and Levi are in this together, and cooked up this scheme to drum up more interest in her book, and to create interest in a book from a Levi.

    What will he say? What does he know? I bet they split the proceeds even

    ReplyDelete
  165. Let me tell you about Muskegon and the kind of people who live there. I lived there for one year in 4th grade. The neighbors labeled our house "Jew house" and none of the kids were allowed to play with us. I witnessed anti-semitism (hate) and racism at an early age. My parents hatethou there. We lived in a beautiful house near the Lake but the people (in general) were small minded and full of hate. Lind of like your scarah.

    No big revelations are going to come out about Sarah in her book or by Levi. He's just out for money, just like her.

  166. This was just posted at Immoral Minority - did anyone here see this show and, if so, can you verify?
    "Anonymous said...
    OMG I was watching showbiz tonight and they had a Palin-vs-Levi clip 10/29/09 and Tamika Ray? I think that is her name; and she said "Levi has told her Palin is a liar" and that "She lied on the campaign trail when she pretended it was her son not her daughter's" May not be the exact words but i backed it up twice, WOW I just went and watched it again and that is what she say's Levi told her!!!!"

  167. Anon 5:33 I agree with you-something smells about the timing of all this. Big time! Here she is out of the limelight for months and now her book (name: Ghostwritten Trash), and they are both going to cash in and give their beloved money to Pie Spy. You becha! They are both in it for the bucks and are milking it. Yep, trash!

    ReplyDelete
  168. Barb, I've been out all night, but I enjoyed your joke about buying some tickets to the Milwaukee RTL meeting where we just know Sarah will be appearing.

    As a totally unrelated topic, and in conjunction with every one of Sarah's promised coming events: We enjoy going to the theater, and every now and then when I buy tickets on-line, they offer me a special premium at around $7. per ticket-- insurance in case we cannot attend the performance.

    They suggest bad weather may prevent us traveling to the event, we might get sick, but they don't mention the possibility of the performer canceling, too.

    As a warning to future Sarah Palin event planners, they should offer ticket buyers that same insurance policy. In fact, charge $10. per ticket; you will need the money to cover your losses.

    Another totally unrelated comment about Michigan's economic history: Remember Roger Moore's movie, "Roger and Me," from 1989. When the auto plants closed devastating Roger's home town of Flint, he make an incredible documentary film on the subject. Michigan's economy has been on a downward slide since then. (Maybe even before, and to be fair, all parts of Michigan are not affected to the same degree-- some places much worse than others).

  176. So much talk about Levi going to court and getting custody etc.

    Somewhere I think I read that the laws in Alaska are different. If a couple are not married and the girl/woman gives birth to their child, the father has no rights.

    Is there an attorney in Alaska that can respond to this? I'd sure like to know!

    Thanks!

  181. I'm not buying this claim that Levi said that on Extra.

    It would be all over the news by now. No way it would be ignored. Even if people didn't believe it, they would be showing it over and over calling Levi a liar or some other nasty name.

    This would be HUGE news.

    ReplyDelete
  182. Showbiz Tonight comes on again at 2:00am EST. Tamika Ray was on the show tonight but I wasn't paying attention.

    ReplyDelete
  183. On second thoughts, I also think that it would be very unlikely that Levi said this on the air and nobody has reported it so far. So I got a bit too excited here. It's probably nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  184. I'm anon@ 6:27. Tamika Ray did say that Levi told her that Sarah Palin is a liar.

    ReplyDelete
  185. Some of you need to start sending information about Palin to the Austin American Statesman. She's supposed to be coming here before the March primary. I think Gov. Goodhair and her have a thing going. We don't want her here in Texas and someone needs to enlighten the readers/voters. Please start sending info

    ReplyDelete
  186. The remark about Tamika Ray was that Levi told her. That is hearsay, second hand, not big news from the horses mouth.
    "Levi has told her Palin is a liar" and that "She lied on the campaign trail when she pretended it was her son not her daughter's"
    You would have to hear it to know what it was about. It still sounds like hearsay.

    It is on tape that Levi said he would like to share custody. I think that is all he said. I never heard him mentioning going to court.

    I think the laws regarding custody in Alaska are similar to most states. Don't know the details. We have had celebrity cases where I am. They aren't always handled like others. Family court is private but media can wait for participants outside. You can have a bad judge any place, sometimes that becomes an issue.

    In the media they are still talking like Levi is a deadbeat dad. Levi says he is paying support. If he isn't going to back down then he will have things all come out where the public will not have to guess who is telling the truth. Custody would be between Levi and Bristol as far as Tripp is concerned.

    ReplyDelete
  187. I know that this is VERY off topic but I just wanted to share a warning with people.

    There is a link going around the internet that is saying it has photos of an alien autopsy. This is a new "item" going around.

    DO NOT OPEN THE LINK!!!

    It is a GRAPHIC and disgusting autopsy photo of Michael Jackson.

    I was unfortunate enough to not get a warning about it and thought it would be another one of those "fake" things. It is profoundly disturbing that this is out there and I truly hope that his children never encounter this photograph as I cannot imagine how horrified they would be to see their father in this manner.

    ReplyDelete
  188. The Tamika remark was Showbiz tonight, not Extra. You need to hear it for yourself. If he told her and she said he told her, that is hearsay and it wouldn't be big news. I don't know Tamika Ray or where to contact her.

    Maybe someone will tape it. It doesn't sound like something MSM would want to promote.

  192. OK, I am in CA and showbiz tonight comes on in 7 minutes. I will listen carefully. If she merely says that Levi states SP is a liar, that is not news. If she says he told her about T-1 not being scarah's, that IS news. I will let you all know.

  193. From the peepond, lol:

    Posted By: Love That Lady
    Just in case Levi has the courage to read this.

    Levi it would be best for you to repent and ask the Palin family for forgiveness, otherwise you will have to deal with God.
    God knows and sees everything you are doing against the Palin family whether in word or deed.
    Levi, you cannot hide from God even if you were to claim that you do not to believe in God.
    Levi, the point is, that God does exist and you have been trying to hurt God's children (the Palin family), and God does not take that lightly.

    Levi here are a few words from God for you to ponder.
    'Vengeance is Mine, and retribution, In due time their foot will slip; For the day of their calamity is near, And the impending things are hastening upon them.'
    Deuteronomy 32:35

    Woe to the wicked! It will go badly with him, For what he deserves will be done to him.
    Isaiah 3:11

    Levi, you need to mature and become a man.
    You have a son and you are ultimately reponsible for what you do.
    Your son will grow up quickly and read everything you have already done.
    Do you want your son to hate you for what you are saying about his mother and grandmother. You always have a choice, and the choice is yours to make.

    Suggestion: Choose to do right, it will be better for you.

    ReplyDelete
  194. Okay I just watched the "Showbiz Tonight" and Tanika did say "Levi has no reason to lie" and then she went on to "quote" things he's said like "the palins were getting divorced" and "she was pretending it was her son and not her daughters on the campaign trail".

    I don't know, it sounds like she was just repeating things she has heard that he said, not that she "knew" he said it.

    I would not put too give too much importance to this, because it was not Levi saying it, rather it was someone else saying he said it.

    ReplyDelete
  195. Tanika Ray on Showbiz Tonight.

    I believe this is what Tanika said she was told....

    Sarah lied on the campaign trail when she pretended that it was her son and not her daughter's.

  196. To Anon 06:11

    Thanks for your response!

    Seeking more info, I went to the Alaska Court System and found this:

    MODEL PARENTING AGREEMENT

    http://www.courts.alaska.gov/forms/dr-475.pdf

    This is a form that can be filled out by either parent...whether married or not. It is intended to make custody, visitation rights or disputes in an amiable way.

    From what I read, you wouldn't even need an attorney. You just fill out the form and submit it to the court. I assume a hearing is held with both parties present.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong!

    Thanks.

  197. Tanika (spelling IS correct) Ray on showbiz tonight says "Levi is NOT a liar" and said "she prentended that the child was hers and not her daughter's" - to be honest, she was talking a mile a minute and sort of rambling. I think Tanika did NOT hear this revalation from Levi at all, but she herself likely thinks T-1 is Bristol's baby (just what I garner from the way she said things). Maybe Tanika reads this (or Bree's) blog - don't know, and hard to explain. But, in summary - she DID mention T-1 in context of SP "pretending he was hers," and did NOT say anything about hearing this from Levi. Whew, it went SO FAST - best I could do.

    ReplyDelete
  198. Just listened to Showbiz tonight. You're right - that's IS what Tamika Ray said. The other commenters were not friendly toward Levi - said he's lying and SP shouldn't dignify his lies by responding.

    Then Tamika says, "Let's be honest, one thing that Levi is NOT is a liar. He's not smart enough to lie. He told me straight up that Sarah Palin is a liar. He has no reason to lie about the things that happened at the convention . . . like pretending that it was her son and not her daughters. . . Levi's not smart, but not a liar."
