Levi Johnston speaks!

Sneak peak at Vanity Fair article.

Not a normal family:

The Palin house was much different from what many people expect of a normal family, even before she was nominated for vice president. There wasn’t much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn’t cook, Todd doesn’t cook—the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I’d barbecue chicken or steak on the grill.

Plan to hide Bristol pregnancy:

Sarah told me she had a great idea: we would keep it a secret—nobody would know that Bristol was pregnant. She told me that once Bristol had the baby she and Todd would adopt him. That way, she said, Bristol and I didn’t have to worry about anything. Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging—she wouldn’t give up. She would say, “So, are you gonna let me adopt him?” We both kept telling her we were definitely not going to let her adopt the baby. I think Sarah wanted to make Bristol look good, and she didn’t want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid.

Makes you wonder if Sarah had previous experience covering up someone’s pregnancy? (Though Levi seems to think Trig is Sarah's baby, and says that he saw her growing bigger before she admitted to being pregnant.)

Sarah quit the governor job because she could make more money doing less work:

I had assumed she was going to go back to her job as governor, but a week or two after she got back she started talking about how nice it would be to quit and write a book or do a show and make “triple the money.” It was, to her, “not as hard.” She would blatantly say, “I want to just take this money and quit being governor.” She started to say it frequently, but she didn’t know how to do it.

Is that the kind of commitment to public service you’d want in a vice president one old-man-McCain heart attack away from being president? What a stupid choice McCain made.

Also in the interview, Johnston says that Sarah and Todd didn’t sleep together and talked about getting divorced.

She only pretended to be into hunting:

She says she goes hunting and lives off animal meat -- I've never seen it. I've never seen her touch a fishing pole. She had a gun in her bedroom and one day she asked me to show her how to shoot it. I asked her what kind of gun it was, and she said she didn't know, because it was in a box under her bed.

And she didn't read any newspapers:

Once in a blue moon, I'd see her reading a book, and I've never even seen her read a newspaper in my life. The Frontiersman and the Anchorage Daily News were always there in the morning, but the only one who looked through them was Todd.

Which explains why she couldn't answer the question in the Katie Couric interview!

I think the Alaskan prole boy is taking you city slickers for a ride, telling you exactly what you need to hear.

[Sheila Tone]

I'm with Turambar. I like a good Palin-thrashing as much as the next person with an IQ over 95, but Levi doesn't seem that observant to me.

[as]

Love the Sarah Palin bashing. Keep doing God's work, HS.

[Chuck]

So this will turn into another ideological jerk-off where Palin's supporters call Johnston's motives into question and the other side believes what he says.

The only thing we *do* know is that Palin abruptly resigned from the office. Out of the two - Johnston and Palin - Palin has exhibited the most bizarre behavior. Conservatives need to dump this broad quickly before she spreads like a tumor.

[Cody]

Sarah and family are a bunch of dumb proles. But they have managed to keep a pregnancy secret from everyone.

But not her critics, of course. But they only have the flimsiest evidence on their side and no smoking gun.

This reminds me of conspiracy nuts who would claim, on the one hand, that 9/11 was an inside job. But on the other hand, they would claim the government is so inept that a bureaucrat would be lucky to find his or her ass with both hands.

I want to believe!

[ziel]

Well, she's quite a character, that's for sure. Did McCain make a stupid choice? It was a gamble, and it didn't work. Of course if he wanted to be a gambler, he could have taken some equally dramatic actions instead like denouncing the bailouts instead of suspending his campaign to vote for them; or attacking Obama on Reverend Wright, his lack of accomplishment, his community activism, the hair-brained education proposals he put forward in the Annenberg Challenge. But that would have required work on McCain's part, and would have resulted in people saying nasty things about him which would have required defensive maneuvers. Too much trouble - much easier to lose.

[wxdavid]

why the fook do You care about to the new Kato Katelin of the 21st century?

yeah you are fair and reasonable ... sure...

[Sid]

That kid sounds like white trash. It doesn't reflect well on Sarah Palin to have such garbage be her grandchild's father, but I would take his words with a grain of salt.

[Lugo]

Credibility of Levi - ZERO.

[Josh]

I was a big fan of Sarah when she first came out. I guess the idea of her is so appealing that conservatives were all too ready to hand over the keys to the kingdom. Makes you question McCain's judgment.

[TurkishThought]

Wow, he is trying to make it in Hollywood and now he is saying everything Hollywood liberals want to hear.

I guess the old videos of her working the fishing boat prior to her political career are lies lol?

How do you explain how for years, Palin and her husband fished for a living?

Seriously, they maybe prole but your one naive bastard.

[Zeenon]

His observations seem pretty basic and are related to daily lifestyle activities that he or anyone would have picked up on after 2 and a half years.

[JGP]

Warning: Conspiracy Theory!

McCain threw the election because the ruling elite knew they had to re-establish belief that the US is a democracy not an oligarchy and Obama was the best cover story. Hence McCain's selection of Palin as a running mate to further ensure he would be unelectable.
;)

[Richard Hoste www.hbdbooks.com]

Why do you believe anything this loser has to say?

[comment]

A lot of commentators are proles sympathizers here. Maybe these commentators are proles themself.

Oops, this comment will shut a lot of people up. Hope not.

[Lugo]

"Did McCain make a stupid choice? It was a gamble, and it didn't work."

If you think his goal was to win the election, then it was a stupid choice. If you think his goal was to win the nomination but lose the election, it was the perfect choice.

McCain was never serious about anything except ensuring that Obama won.

[J1]

Levi isn't going to get many TV appearances if all he does is talk about how great Sarah Palin is.

"Which explains why she couldn't answer the question in the Katie Couric interview!"

You could make Einstein look like a moron if the interview was edited as heavily as that one was. If you want evidence that Palin is an idiot, agreeing to anything other than live interviews is exhibit A.

[not too late]

Half Sigma,

Just in the interest of full disclosure, could you remind us of the policies that Sarah Palin enacted as governor of Alaska that you oppose?

[HS: She raised taxes on oil companies so the state could send checks to the people. It sounds very socialist to me.]

[tvoh]

Do you think anything other than a hit piece would appear in People Mag for non prole wannabees like oh, maybe, you.

More Japanese weirdness! (did the radiation from Hiroshima and Nagasaki have unkown side effects???):

Japan's new first lady 'flew to Venus with UFO'

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/japan/6129871/Japans-new-first-lady-flew-to-Venus-with-UFO.html

Japan's new first lady is enlivening the nation's grey-suited world of politics with colourful claims that she met a UFO in a dream and was whisked away to Venus

Miyuki Hatoyama, 66, the charismatic wife of the leader of the incoming Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), has also described how she met Tom Cruise in a former life and enjoys "eating" the sun for energy.

Writing in a book published last year, she said: "While my body was asleep, I think my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus. It was a very beautiful place and it was really green."

Her extra-terrestrial experiences ties in neatly with her husband Yukio Hatoyama's nickname "The Alien" which came about due to his large eyes.

Mr Hatoyama is due to be voted in as prime minister on September 16 after his party defeated the iron grip of the Liberal Democratic Party after more than five decades of near-interrupted power.

The party leader met his wife - a former musical actress who was born to Japanese parents in Shanghai - while he studying at Stanford in the United States.

Mrs Hatoyama, who is renowned for her healthy cooking having published several food-related books, described her UFO experience in a book called "Very Strange Things I've Encountered."

After waking up, Mrs Hatoyama wrote that her then husband dismissed the experience, claiming that it must have just been a dream.

However, referring to Japan's next prime minister, she wrote: "My current husband has a different way of thinking. He would surely say 'Oh that's great'." Earlier this year, Mrs Hatoyama also told a TV programme that she had met Tom Cruise in a previous life.

While she cautioned the interviewer not to take her too seriously, she said: "I know he was Japanese in a previous life.

"I was with him then. So he would recognise me when I see him and say 'long time, no see!'"

On the same talk show, she also described her unusual habit of "eating the sun".

Raising her arms into the air, she said: "I also eat the sun. Like this, hum, hum, hum. It gives me enormous energy. My husband has recently started doing that too."

[HS: She raised taxes on oil companies so the state could send checks to the people. It sounds very socialist to me.]

More like Populist. The higher oil prices would be paid mainly by the people in the lower 48 states: a net transfer of wealth to Alaskans.

[sn]

I'd have to say that Levi's observations ring true, with some allowance for the TV show spin. Is she a "real" hunter? Did she cook for her family on a regular basis? Did she read any newspaper? Palin is an interesting character all right. Anything that Levi says about her is interesting. There's no real motivation for him to make up fictional stories when the truth is so much more interesting. He could be wrong if his access was far more limited than we are led to believe (in which case there is a clear need to make up stuff). Regardless, McCain and his handlers were idiots.

[Freddy Fingers]

The question I have is why anyone thought Palin was a good choice, regardless of what Levi is saying. Just listen to the woman. She's a babbling idiot. How can anyone not see this? The fact that McCain chose her shows how senile he is.

She is a tasty milf though. I admit that.

[Turambar]

"However, referring to Japan's next prime minister, she wrote: "My current husband has a different way of thinking. He would surely say 'Oh that's great'.""

I think it was National Review that blurbed this and then noted that Yukio Hatoyama much havea much better sense of diplomacy than the first husband.

[Shakli]

All this wasted venom on Palin! What are you guys peeing your pants about. She's just a very small woman and mother who doesn't even have a job. If what the babbling idiot Johnston says is true, then she can't even shoot a gun, so what the f are you shaking in your boots about?

What wankers!

[Liberals Are Fascists]

[HS: She raised taxes on oil companies so the state could send checks to the people. It sounds very socialist to me.]
=

That line of argument was very popular among libtards during the election. AS IF the anti-big-oil left would have proposed letting the oil companies keep all the profits for themselves.

[rob]

Asking Levi if he could show her how to use the gun does not mean she didn't know how to use it. It's how rural women, at least rural women in the south, ask men questions. Saying "do you know how to handle a rifle (like a real man should)?" would be rude.

What's a mother to to? Ask for help. A young who was raised right would happily help her. If he doesn't know how, he can say so without feeling too incapable. Saying that he can help requires actually helping, so he can't lie very effectively.

Levi is dim. He doesn't even know his girlfriend's mother asked if he was a pansy, and he said yes.
