Levi Johnston talks about Gov. Palin's resignation

By MARY PEMBERTON, Associated Press Writer Mary Pemberton, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 28 mins ago

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The former fiance of Gov. Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter says he believes he knows why the Alaska governor is resigning — concerns over money.

Nineteen-year-old Levi Johnston, whose wedding to Bristol Palin was called off earlier this year, says he thinks the governor is resigning over personal finances.

Johnston says he lived with the Palin family from early December to the second week in January. He claims he heard the governor several times say how nice it would be to take advantage of the lucrative deals that were being offered, deals that included a reality show and a book.

Johnston made his comments at a news conference Thursday at his lawyer's office.

1. OMG. Not a reality show!

[Pirate Smile]

13. That was my reaction too. OMG - Not a reality show.

:wow:

[Stephanie]

29. Oh YES! PLEASE, Please, do a reality show!!!

I am DYING to see it! It will be AMAZING! I will PAY to see it! I couldn't think of a more fitting way for her career to end.

[ControlledDemolition]

31. What should such a show be called? 'Nailin' Libruls', 'The Governor Goes Trailer', ... ? n/t

[Matariki]

34. Oh yes! The Wasilla Hillbillies

It would be as funny as watching Ozzy Osbourne try to make a coherent sentence. Funnier really because she's even worse at it.

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. We've already HAD the reality show! What could possibly top what we've seen?!?!?!

[Andy823]

3. I think it can be summed up in one word

GREED!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

4. That young man

not only did it with Bristol, but now he's doing it TO the whole Palin family.

Revenge - a dish best eaten cold, indeed...................

[tridim]

7. He's a creep, but I'm pulling for him to tell ALL!

He really doesn't have anything to lose. :)

[Cha]

15. But, he's a creep who's had

an inside view of the palin crap and he's dishing.

The corporatemedia will use palin until she's wrung dry and the sooner she goes away to better..yeah, like my wish is going to happen.

[Raschel]

11. Levi just keeps the hits comin'. They must've treated him like dirt.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

16. They did,

that was made public right away by Levi's sister - who strikes me as a very smart young lady - and his mother - the drug dealer - when they went public with the news that Sarah wouldn't let him see his son.

See, Levi's mother getting busted for that oxycontin sales business she had was, in Sarah's opinion, bad for the Palin family image.

Imagine how Tripp will feel - one granny is a failed politician and the other granny is a drug dealer.

Bet the drug dealing granny is a lot more fun.

But, yeah, Levi's settling a score. And I say, GOOD FOR HIM!

26. Levi is pursuing a book and movie deal of his own according to this link...

Levi Johnston Says He Knows Why Palin Resigned

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) ― The former fiance of Gov. Sarah Palin's 18-year-old daughter says he thinks he knows why the Alaska governor is resigning -- concerns over money.

snip...
Johnston made his comments at a news conference Thursday at the office of his attorney, Rex Butler.

Johnston came forward, Butler said, because Alaskans want to know why Palin has decided to resign. She made the announcement last Friday.

Johnston also is pursuing his own book deal. He is working as a carpenter while also pursuing a movie deal.

5. I'm not defending Palin in any way, but this kid should shut the fuck up.

If for nothing else but for the welfare of his child, he should just simply shut up. His child is not served well by constant and public animosity between the father and the mother's family. It places the child in a bad situation that could easily be avoided.

He needs to grow the fuck up, and quit trying to make the news.

[misanthrope]

12. I've got news for you...

...Unless Levi's kid is abducted and placed in another home far, far away, he ain't got a chance anyway. All of Say-rah's children are little more than props to her every whim and the grandkid will serve the same purpose.

[ControlledDemolition]

32. Levi should be allowed his full free speech - pre-Patriot Act - rights! n/t

9. LOL!

One of my favorite lines from a movie.

:rofl:

[misanthrope]

14. Jones supposedly ad libbed it**nm

**

[Tangerine LaBamba]

17. Well,

he's an Ivy Leaguer, and being Al Gore's roommate, he had to be smart, right?

One of the greatest movie lines ever.

I wonder if he got a writing credit ..................

[Kadie]

20. Cool!

He is one of my favorite actors.

:hi:

[Tangerine LaBamba]

10. Series!

That line is probably one of the most profound ever uttered in any film of the last twenty or thirty years. Maybe longer.

It speaks volumes in three words. Fascinating. I'm tickled that you chose that video. Good call....................

[misanthrope]

8. We're experiencing the reality show as is...

...It's called "Wasilla Snowbillies" right?

So Sarah's "higher calling" was from mammon? What's that saying about the "root of all evil...?" And where did that come from again?

[scarletwoman]

18. Uh oh. He better watch out or he's gonna find a severed moose head on his pillow.

[Mariana]

21. ..

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Kadie]

24. LOL!

:rofl:

[burning rain]

19. Reality show? I doubt it.

I picture Palin getting the ten o'clock slot at Fox Monday - Friday. Sorry, Greta. You got served, Megyn.

[Kali]

22. Reality show?

reminds me of an old saying.

Why buy the cow when you're getting the milk for free?

[Kadie]

23. ROFL!

[Chemisse]

25. What makes anybody think he has a clue?

He hasn't been in Palin's inner circle for 6 months. He is only throwing out conjecture. Much as I enjoy hearing the little tidbits he has to share, thinking he has insight into what Sarah is up to is absurd.

Unless, of course, he and Bristol are sneaking off to be together in a hot, abstinence-free tryst away from Sarah's control-freak manipulations. Actually I like that - let's start it up as a rumor.

[Wednesdays]

27. K&R

:kick:

[Stevenmarc]

28. Gee if Levi could hear them talking about money, Sarah should have been able to hear them rutting

[RufusTFirefly]

30. Wait! Look over here! The Phillie Phanatic is fighting the San Diego Chicken!

Our capacity to invest real import in pointless diversions never ceases to amaze me.

[jazzjunkysue]

33. Sarah Barracuda: Alligator Hunter.

What's the Alaskan equivalent of "Blimey!"?

[jazzjunkysue]

40. The Real Housewives of Wasilla. Tupperware/lingere parties, moose recipies,

-zero hair/skin care, how to tell if your husband is wacking the waitress/babysitter/meth dealer.

[scheming daemons]

35. Why do we give a fuck what some 18-year-old redneck loser has to say?

Just because he fucked a governor's daughter without a condom?

[Maru Kitteh]

36. I love Levi - he is oozing with total win

What would we do without him?

[anigbrowl]

37. I could see her on 'Are you smarter than a 5th grader?'

Though not as one of the winning contestants.

[AnnieBW]

38. Sarah, unlike Levi

Knows when to pull out!

[Bryn]

39. Pretty Soon Anything Sarah Palin will be moved

from GD to Entertainment forum since she won't be a politician, right?
