ABC News’ Rick Klein reports:

Asked by Oprah about Levi Johnston, Palin, R-Alaska, responded: "I don't think a national television show is the place to discuss some of things he'd been doing and saying."

She continued: "By the way, I don't know if we call him Levi -- I hear he goes by the name Ricky Hollywood now, so, if that's the case, we don't want to mess up this gig he's got going…. Kind of this aspiring, aspiring porn -- the things that he's doing. It's kind of heartbreaking."

Oprah clarified that Palin was referencing Johnston's decision to pose for "Playgirl."

Said Palin: "I call that porn, yes. So it's a bit heartbreaking to see the road that he's on right now."

Wonder if he'll be invited to see the family on Thanksgiving?

[TheCowsCameHome]

1. Levi's star isn't the only thing that's rising, Sarah.

[nykym]

2. Wonder if he'll be invited to see the family on Thanksgiving?

Lying naked on a silver platter with an apple in his mouth. LOL

[xultar]

3. Not even close to porn & more upstanding than carrie prejean who calls Sarah Palin

for effing advice.

[closeupready]

16. That's an excellent point!

She parades her near naked body in front of millions of men as though it's meaningless, and somehow, that's a-okay with Sarah Palin.

[Jazzgirl]

4. Why does she always overstate and exagerate?

She is such a whiner and so petty. Goddess help us all if she ever gets within two feet of the WH.

[superconnected]

10. Compulsive liar symptoms.

[thesquanderer]

12. Answer to your riddle

Q. Why does she always overstate and exaggerate?

A. So the people on the Death Panels won't euthanize her.

[JuniperLea]

5. Surely there must be nakie Sarah pics and film out there...

I'm betting her attention whoring didn't just start when she decided to run for office.

[brooklynite]

8. In Alaska? Nonsense...

think of all the goose pimples...

[Wapsie B]

9. +100

Methinks the pot's calling the kettle black here. There's gotta be stuff out there that would make Larry Flynt pay good money for.

[robo50]

11. I like your choice of words, "attention whoring" describes her to a

T (or maybe a wet t-shirt).

[Kali]

6. this from a former beauty pageant contestant?

:eyes:

[Blue_In_AK]

7. Levi at least is up front and honest about his Playgirl shoot

(which is not porn, by the way). Sarah wouldn't know the truth if it stood up and slapped her in the face. I know it's cliche, but the old "if her lips are moving, she's lying" canard was written for her.

[Tempest]

14. Not only that

But Palin made a comment about how he's not interested in raising his child when her family is keeping him from seeing the kid.

And where are Palin's kids now? They weren't with her when she was gone for months writing the book.

[Jansen]

15. ?

How is a photo shoot in a pornographic magazine not porn?

[closeupready]

17. How is parading your naked body in high heels and loincloth not porn?

In front of millions of viewers?

[RaleighNCDUer]

18. If you think that Playgirl is a pornographic magazine, you've never seen porn. nt

[TorchTheWitch]

23. of course it's porn

Soft porn is still porn. These days I'd suppose it would be called ultra-soft porn, but it's still classified as porn.

[marshall]

25. In another generation it'll be considered barely PG rated

But yes, it is classified as porn. Even the online version.

[paulsby]

34. i have to agree

this is of course what i refer to as a "semantical wank", arguing about word definitions, but you are correct. playgirl is porn.

it's rather tame porn. but it's porn

[ldf]

38. so "nudity" = porn?

i haven't seen a playgirl in a while (definitely MY bad...), but when i DID see it there was no "porn" involved, unless nudity IS porn.

sorry, but porn has to have obvious sexual connotation. x or xxx. in playgirl the guys aren't even allowed to have erections, therefore it is NOT porn. posing with no clothes on is NOT porn. what YOU do with it is irrelevant. for the poser it is not porn. it may be for decent money, but that doesn't make it porn.

that just goes to show how grossly pathetic our puritanical views of our bodies are.

those statues that rumsfield had covered up were porn, too, apparently.

:grr:

[paulsby]

39. no

again, here's the definition (the legal one) "predominantly sexually explicit and intended primarily for the purpose of sexual arousal." do you honestly claim that playgirl's nude photos are NOT intended for the purpose of sexual arousal? get real. whereas, the statues, etc. are not. it's really not that complicated. you gotta meet all "prongs" of a legal definition, no pun intended :)

[chat_noir]

22. like Scott Brown's (Republican looking to get Ted Kennedy's Senate seat)

NSFW

[Cha]

31. She said she didn't know if national tv was

the place to discuss Levi and then she goes on to tear into him like she was gutting a moose.

What a farce.

I cannot wait until $error's notoriety is up.

[Tempest]

13. Funny how she's silent on Prejean's porno movies

And she's considers herself close to Prejean.

[RamboLiberal]

19. War On Sarah

Can't wait to see Levi's next shot.

And I consider both Sarah & Levi to be grifters!

But pass the :popcorn:

[Techn0Girl]

20. Ohhh.... Snap!

The kitties have their claws out now.
The next few weeks may provide the only Palin-centric news I've even found interesting ;)

[lanlady]

21. why does AP have R-Alaska after her name?

She is no longer a public official.

[Divine Discontent]

29. great catch! yes, that's dumb. she's a nobody, tabloid fodder at best.

[Cass]

24. Now she's calling Levi snarky names...how old IS she anyway?

Palin is like the teenage mean girl with a bad attitude who mocks everyone. If she acts like this in a big national interview, can you imagine what she must be like in private?

[euphoria12leo]

27. She's like a school girl that can't get over the fact she lost

just like her new BF, Carrie Prejean.

[RamboLiberal]

26. Palin says she didn't know Bristol was having sex

NEW YORK - Sarah Palin says she didn't know her daughter Bristol was sexually active before she learned the teenager was pregnant.

The former vice presidential candidate told ABC's Barbara Walters: "Truthfully, we were devastated."

Bristol was a high school senior when she gave birth to son Tripp in December. Her pregnancy was publicly announced just after Sarah Palin accepted John McCain's invitation to be his running mate.

ABC released that exchange between Walters and Palin on Saturday. Portions of their interview begin airing Tuesday on "Good Morning America" and will be shown at length Friday on "20/20". Palin is promoting her new book, "Going Rogue."

[closeupready]

44. When she says "truthfully", you knows she's lying.

Again. :eyes:

[SkyDaddy7]

28. I bet Sarah buys an issue of Playgirl with Levi in it!! nt.

[RamboLiberal]

30. She'll have to go online to do so

Playgirl is no longer a print magazine as far as I know. Just online now.

[SkyDaddy7]

41. Well, I guess that means Sarah won't see it!

I wonder what Sarah would say if asked who her ISP is? LOL!

[proteus_lives]

32. Hustler has a parody series about Palin.

So, she pretty much has a porn career too.

[DU GrovelBot]

33. ## PLEASE DONATE TO DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND! ##

This week is our fourth quarter 2009 fund drive. Democratic Underground is
a completely independent website. We depend on donations from our members
to cover our costs. Please take a moment to donate! Thank you!

[Darth_Kitten]

40. Grovelbot puts himself between Hustler and Playgirl.

For shame. :(

[2Design]

35. playgirl is not porn n/t

[brooklynite]

36. Because people only read it for the articles?

It publishes nude photos, offers sexual videos and publishes material under the titles "Dirty Delights" and Amorous Sexcapades". Of course it's porn (perhaps gussied up as "erotica"). But, what's wrong with that?

[2Design]

37. Guess I only remember the magazine which was similar to playboy

It wasn't porn then - maybe you enjoy it as porn now - I liked being able to buy it 20 -30 years ago

[harun]

42. Why does the article say "Palin, R-Alaska", she doesn't hold any elected office in Alaska.

[Javaman]

43. Well that was a peek into the mind of the repressed. nt
