Bristol Palin, Levi Johnston are engaged again

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston are engaged again as of two weeks ago, having come back together while working out a custody plan for their 18-month-old son, Tripp, Us Magazine reports exclusively.

The kicker: The two told Us magazine before telling Bristol's parents. Todd and Sarah Palin responded with a statement read on the "Today" show Wednesday:

Bristol at 19 is now a young adult. We obviously want what's best for our children. Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives.

Levi apologized to Sarah and Todd Palin on July 6 for "not completely true" statements he made in the wake of his and Bristol's breakup. People magazine had that exclusive.

5. Alternative translation:
Levi has his price, and the Palins have met it. Case closed.

6. Who gives a f*ck?
Edited on Wed Jul-14-10 12:03 PM by mnhtnbb
Hmm. Let's see. Did Bristol get tired of celibacy and figured it was ok to bang the baby daddy
if they announced an engagement again? Or will the engagement last only until Levi figures out
he isn't going to get any from Bristol until they're married?

Who really cares?

9. Let's treat this with the charity and utter lack of larger significance it deserves . . .
1) If they can work it out and become a successful family, more power to 'em.

2) Aside from 1), above, who gives a damn?

11. So THAT'S why he backtracked on his stories.
Little weasel. Wonder how much they paid him for this? After all, if Caribou Barbie is going to make a run for President in 2012, we all know she wants a perfect family, right?

13. Bristol/Levi will be the poster couple for troubled teens who overcame adversity...
...by listening to Glenn Beck religiously and paying attention to the voice of gawd murmuring in their hearts. Makes me all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it.

14. Here's hoping that coupling will be featured on "Bridezillas"
. . .now I'll even tune in to see the dustup between Sarah, Bristol and multiple wedding cake bakers, flower arrangers, and hairpulling bridesmaids fights.

28. Go ahead, *be* sarcastic. It would be a perfect vehicle for some campaign bullshit.
Shame on you for giving them ideas :silly:

18. I will support this only if
They stop the Palin-Johnston families traditions of giving their kids stupid names.

I mean, c'mon... Levi, Bristol, Tripp... uh, Cornstarch, Keyfob, Spigot, and Mailbox (I think those are Sarah's other 4 kids)... Can we get a Jennifer or Jason or something in there, please?

19. Levi, Levi, think! Consider who your mother-in-law would be!
Don't further ruin even your poor excuse for a life.

;-)

OK, enough -- I don't need to hear about Bristol and Levi ever again.

20. Sweet thought - Levi is in deep cover?
In order to protect our civilization, "agent" Johnston selflessly agrees to go BACK to the artic wastes to twart the power mad schemes of Caribou Barbie? Place a few hidden cams around the house, maybe the former governor and vice-presidential nominee seduces the young agent?

P.S. "Mama Grizzly"? "Pit Bull with lipstick"? I'm thinking she shrieks like a wild cat in heat!

21. Someone suggested he's a weasel...
Edited on Wed Jul-14-10 03:04 PM by Flubadubya
and I heartily agree. :thumbsup:

Thus, when the winds begin to blow cold upon the desires, aspirations, and fortunes of this young ferret, he will "go rogue" once again and turn viciously upon his present benefactors/masters -- the Palins. :evilgrin:

Levi will rise again to infamy and truly out the "Palin secrets". He's already proven once that he is capable this and I think it is only a matter of time until it all sours and then the truth will out. And just think, he'll have even more dirt to tell then!! :spank:

Beware Sarah!!:scared:

22. With Mom galvanting all over the globe it probably made it much easier...
for Bristol and Levi to spend some alone time together without being nagged to death.

Notice how the couple let mom know about their decision thru the media and NOT inform her first. Big sign in paradise that the kids want the Halfinovner to butt out of their lives.

23. The engagement before was a scam to ease the sting of the teen pregnancy
and was no doubt, concocted by Sarah.. This time, it may actually be a mutual thing between the young parents. Will the marriage last?..maybe not. but they apparently have decided that they want to try it..

They can make a lot of money selling their nouveau celebrity for a while..at least through the next baby's arrival, and if they are clever, they can parlay it into a secure enough future.

The fact that Bristol has moved away from the family-compound bodes well for her..
