Sarah Palin Wanted to Have Levi Johnston's Baby

[01solara]

I agree with you elvin1, I don't find him particularly sexy either. He is a cutie, and he knows it. He has a good smile, if not a devilish smile. I guess that is what got him in the fatherly way to begin with. I bet he drops his pants by December, but I am not sure if he will show his junk or not. He cares only about money right now. Soon he will be a footnote, and he could a richer footnote if he smiles when shows his butt.

Wouldn't pay to see it put if it were on the net for free I might have a look. It would be interesting to see if his dick is as big as his ego. Junk is such a hot freaking word when you use it.

You'd think they've all forgotten who drug him into the national spotlight anyway.

I'd say that this is a classic case of chickens coming home to roost.

She was happy to try and use him for her own ends, why are we complaining now that he's trying to use her for his own ends.

There's an entire center spread of professional shot photos of Brisol and an interview in People magazine just a couple of months ago, some 7 months after the election. Additionally Bristol did a Greta VanSustern TV show a few months afteer the election. They even brought newborn Tripp on the interviews. Greta led off that show with "Tonight, a special guest in his first TV appearance ever well he's less than 2 months old, it's Tripp, also known as the first grandson, tonight Tripp goes on the record". Then Bristol and Tripp go in front of the cameras and talk.

When you make your children into celebrities and use them for your own agenda and make them into Paris Hilton media figures, guess what? They become fair game.

They are nowhere near Paris Hilton and they are not now and will not be fair game until they decide to run for something. "Stop the Insanity"

If you think Levi is cute, you should see his younger brother Jordache. The youngest brother Diesel is a bit of a twat though.

I'm not absolving Palin of her role in creating the circus. I do think our society has an extremely unhealthy obsession with celebrity. Our gossip rags, People, US, and all the other gossip papers, are to journalism what twinkies and potato chips are to good nutrition.

I also think the use of families in political campaigns is overused. Spouses, parents, etc. have always campaigned for their family members, but do candidate's spouses really need to speak at the conventions?

It's hard to tell who's scummier, Sarah Palin or Levi Johnston.

Or gossip mongers who have nothing better to do than get all outraged and indignant about stuff that's none of their business.

^ What's so scummy about Levi Johnston? He's perfectly entitled to say what he's saying.

Sarah Palin is a different story. Unlike Levy, she chose to be a public figure, was inconsistent in what she said and what she did, etc., etc.

As for gossip mongers, Palin put her family into play by using them as props at the Republican Convention in an attempt to defuse the impact of her illegitimate grandchild and any insight into the discrepancies in her story is fair game.

If you don't like the "gossip", don't prolong the threads about it. LOL.

I'm not outraged about our societies obsession with gossip and celebrity. I don't want to boycott and magazines. I am concerned that it trivializes our politics. I do think it is an unhealthy aspect of our political culture and artistic culture.

I dislike Sarah Palin and her politics, and believe she is largely responsible for the media circus surrounding her. Indeed, I admit to a fair degree of Schadenfruede when reading about Palin. Nevertheless, when I stop and think about the coverage, I can't help but be uneasy about the impact it has on her children, and others around her. It's like war, I suppose, where combatants engage in the fight, but innocent civilians also suffer many of the casualties.

i don't understand the predatory "fair game" or "put her family into play" arguments

kids are not to be attacked

period

it is just not the right thing to do

there has to be some level of high ground on this

that's not me being idealistic

just reasonable

that is not a republican thing nor a conservative thing nor a democratic thing nor a liberal thing

that is a human thing

 

[palemale]

Even the Mafia doesn't go after the families. Levi Johnston is a jerk for going to Vanity Fair, but I'm sure they paid him a lot of money. People who go on Jerry Springer or Judge Judy are idiots, too. But no one will ever remember them. Levi has a child. It's all very sordid, and putting it out there in print serves no legitimate purpose other than to make money. I don't particularly like it, but that's the price we pay for living in a capitalist society.

 

[swmjck]

The title of the thread seems to be misleading. Shouldn't it say , she wants to adopt his baby?

Yes, but you're mis-perceiving what's being "attacked".

When Letterman make a joke that, unintentionally in my view, attacked Bristol Palin, it evoked a good deal of false moral outrage and he apologized because, under that distorted light, his remark might have been taken as a personal attack on Bristol Palin. And I agree that those kinds of attacks are off limits because you're involving an underage individual that hasn't volunteered to be a public figure, etc., etc. I don't think Letterman's remarks were intended as that. But OK, after the wingnut echo chamber had spun them that way, he apologized.

However, most of the "attacks" on Palin's family aren't of that nature. Rather they're pointing out the inconsistency or hypocrisy or unworkability of what Palin publicly advocates with what goes on in her own life. It's not an attack on Bristol Palin to point out that she clearly didn't practice what her mother preached. It's an attack on her mother.

Palin could have chosen to keep her family's situation as private as she could. Instead, she tried to seize the initiative by parading her unmarried and pregnant daughter to the world at the Republican convention, supposedly in the context of the upcoming marriage between Bristol and Levy, which anyone with a brain cell in their head could see was a phony political play (else why didn't the just get married already).

That's what "fair game" and putting her family "in play" means and it seems a valid commentary and response to someone cynically using her family for her own political purposes.

For money or celebrity, or both, he's publicly saying ugly personal things about his son's grandparents.

I think that's scummy.

This guy is going to be a second rate celebrity wannabe a Cato Cailan for the new millennium. He was destined to be a small town nobody and he is going to ride this out as long as he can. As he starts to fade he will do more and more to try to retain the attention. Sex tapes and naked shots are where this will probably end up. Hopefully after its run its course we won't have to be bothered with him anymore.

The more I see him the less cute he gets. Don't even know if I would click on a free link to see him naked. He needs to go home go to school and make something of substance to take care of his child. When the baby grows up and sees how its dad behaved it won't be the Palins that come off looking like asses.

He is so vain he probably has pictures of himself everywhere and thinks he is somehow important. It will be difficult for him when he finds out no one was ever interested in him for anything other than using him to hurt the family of his child. Classy real classy.

 

[palemale]

Didn't Judge Judy have a book titled something like the following: Beauty is Fleeting, But Dumb is Forever. Maybe someone should send it to Levi, poor thing. I was happy to see Palin make a fool of herself after the election, but I think the Vanity Fair article is the Palin crew "jumping the shark." Please go away.

Although I might tune into Dancing with the Stars if Levi were competing against Tom Delay. I hope it isn't broadcast opposite Rachel Maddow.

Yep.

That's what Warhol's 15-minute comment was about.

And it's become a big part of our culture, fueled by shallow wannabe-ism and narcissism, the culture of people swayed by good looks or popularity while brushing aside the value of actual competence, experience and accomplishment from hard work. We've become a high school culture.

The more I see him the less cute he gets.

Seems to me cute in a skanky way.

Kinda hot if you're in the mood for trash but otherwise just dumb and stinky.

Don't even know if I would click on a free link to see him naked.

Oh, I would.

I don't like where our culture is going with this but I'll still glance at a naked guy.

He needs to go home go to school and make something of substance to take care of his child. When the baby grows up and sees how its dad behaved it won't be the Palins that come off looking like asses.

Aside from the dirt Levi spilled about them, and who knows how much of it's true, the Palins took him in and have likely been supporting his baby at least to some degree. And the notion that he was somehow victimized by being brought onstage during the GOP convention is ridiculous since he, himself, has exploited that exposure. It's clear this man is not a victim of the Palins, but rather the other way around.

Not that I lose any sleep over it. Sarah Palin strikes me as someone who's victimized a few people along the way.

Yes, we've become a "high school culture."

Got me!

Totally pwned!

Well, as AdmiralAlfie has so ably shown, for you scummy seems to equate to "cute" and "kinda hot". LOL.

As I said before, you're content to complain about the gossip mongering while indulging yourself in it.

Compared to how scummy Levi could have been, he seem fairly restrained so far. Few bad words, if any, about Bristol and the unwanted pregnancy. As for Sarah Palin and her husband, they're public figures and it's the phoniness of the public personas they've tried to create for themselves that gives Levi his platform. So they deserve all they get.
