Palin to Oprah: Levi Johnston Pursuing ‘Porn’ Career; ‘I Pray for Levi’
ABC News’ Rick Klein reports: We wrote last week that, based on the initial clip distributed by Oprah Winfrey's shop, Sarah Palin seemed to be seeking a ceasefire with the father of her grandson. Now that the full Oprah interview is out — not so much. 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."Asked about Johnston's relationship with his son, Tripp, Palin said: "He hasn't seen the baby for a while, but we will let that be the discussion between Bristol and Levi, as they work out their relationship. Because Levi will forever be the father of this beautiful little baby, and I continue to hope for the best, and pray for Levi."

Levi is hardly worth going off on national television. Is Palin so insecure about the entire pregnancy episode that she feels she must attack Levi to properly defend herself? Letting it go would have been so much better for her public image…

Oh this is fascinating. Yes, yes, let’s hear more about Sarah Palin and her grandson’s Daddy. I can’t get enough. It’s all so exciting. (Actually, I think Levi is pretty sweet.)

Levi’s getting paid by Democratic big donors on the West Coast to keep his face in the media.
The Levis off the world stay on the scene for a reason….politics.

Hard to see how being sad that the father of her grandchild is “going off” on Levi, unless of course you’re the type of parent who expects absolutely nothing from someone in your family.

“Palin, R-Alaska”
Palin holds a government position in Alaska? Is she a Senator?

“We wrote last week that, based on the initial clip distributed by Oprah Winfrey’s shop, Sarah Palin seemed to be seeking a ceasefire with the father of her grandson.
Now that the full Oprah interview is out — not so much.”
So basically ABC News “jumped to conclusions” and “acted stupidly” by not “awaiting the facts” of the matter. King Obama would not proud of ABC News for doing such a thing. It’d be a rush of fresh air if ABC News would take as much of an interest in our the past and upbringing of our present president than focusing on an interview of a private citizen.

Sarah Palin answered a question about Levi. She didn’t “go off”, as Matt above accuses… she simply answered a pretty obvious question.
She was very nice about it, too. Much nicer than the people in this thread are being, and much,much nicer than Levi has been. Most parents treat people like Levi a lot worse than Sarah has.
I know that abc is a pretty liberal outlet for Obama, having given him all that free airtime for the health care thing, and I guess the rest of their coverage is democrat as well. So it’s no surprise that most of the readers here do not agree with Sarah Palin’s political views. But that’s hardly any reason to be ugly to her because her relatives are normal, imperfect people. Obama’s relatives are even worse, but it would be horrible to paint Obama for that.
Sarah’s daughter got pregnant, and they handled the situation with love and forgiveness. People think that means Sarah is a hypocrite, or dirty. But I disagree. I do not agree with Sarah’s social conservatism, but I probably will vote for her if I get the chance, because I want our discourse to be more like Sarah’s and less like those attacking her.

I have always been baffled by the Left’s and the MSM’s wild-eyed, vicious, irrational hatred of Sarah Palin. What on Earth did she ever do to warrant this?
Now that she is merely a private citizen, the MSM’s continuing dishonest and vicious attacks have become even more confusing and distasteful to me.
Since I am not a Liberal, I guess I will never understand the mindless irrationality and utter intolerance that comes with being a Liberal.

So sad that people attack Sarah. I will pray for them.
Posted by: socal4patrick | November 16, 2009, 1:24 pm 1:24 pm
What I find particularly sad is that when Sarah ignored questions about Levi, many mainstread media outlets said that ‘this is well advised because Levi claims to have dirt on Sarah’. In other words, the MSM ostensibly verified something that they had no idea about, implicating Sarah is some dark, dark scandal… just because she didn’t want to talk about this complicated Levi problem. Andrew Sullivan claims it’s proof that Palin did not give birth to Trigg, for example.
When Sarah DOES answer a question, in a pretty toned down humble way, that’s also the wrong thing to do?
So, no matter what, whatever Palin does is the wrong thing to do. This is the reason I’ll vote for someone I disagree with on several issues… I don’t want people to think this attack method works. I want it to backfire. I voted for Obama, Kerry, and Gore, and I kinda hope I don’t have to, but I will vote for Palin if I get the chance, in a primary or in a general election. She’s a nice person, who seems to genuinely want to do good, in spite of really horrible forces arrayed against her. I know the polls say this is a minority view, but I think Palin’s starting to change that.
If you REALLY want to beat Palin, those of you who are attacking anything other than her policy views, expressed on her facebook, memoirs, op-eds, and policy record, need to change.

So does Joe Biden have kids? Grand kids? Why would a news organization be this focused on tabloid “journalism” with respect to the former governor of a state?
I don’t remember as much attention being paid to the fact that Joe Biden takes Amtrak to work everyday and, oh by the way, has spearheaded millions of dollars of government cash into the system, presumably keeping fares down or keeping him from having to move closer to work.
So to recap: Political correspondant prefers to comment on the relationship between a former governor/veep candidate and her relationship with a 19 year old as opposed to, I don’t know, what the ACTUAL politicians are doing in Washington
Here are some leads to follow up on after “The View” Rick: Pelosi hiding $300B in costs in her health care bill, Obama putting intelligence assets at risk by sending KSM to criminal court in NYC (which allows discovery of all evidence and how it was obtained) to prove that America is a law-abiding country, yet Holder admits that they only sent it to NYC because they were sure there would be a conviction (sham-trial)), SEIU President was to the White House 22 times in the first 7 months of Mr. Obama’s presidency, yet they are kicking lobbyists out of Washington…and on and on and on.

Next he will be futured on film down at the local homosexual porn shops. IOW, he will be John Holmes (AKA Johnny wadd) in drag.

Now let me get this straight. Some of you would trust Levi before Palin? Are you really that stupid? Levi tried the political scene during the primaries. He got all dressed up in a suit and paraded around in front of the cameras. Since then he quit school, can’t hold down a job, getting paid to smear his child’s grandmother, and now he wants the whole world to see him naked. Sounds like Levi wants you to look at him. Sounds like he is jealous Palin is getting more attention than he is. Levi must be having trouble getting females to sleep with him now. The smart females knows if he gets them pregnant he’ll run like a chicken. Oh, did I mention he’s not sending any money home to care for his child. Sounds like a dead beat to me. Sounds like a love ‘em and leave ‘em kind of guy that cares nothing for human beings including his own child. What a jerk.

Leogorky,
Palin was not found guilty in the troopergate scandal. Some Obama supporters released an internal document saying she can’t be prosecuted. It was not a ruling, but Palin was investigated more harshly than any other governor in this nation’s history.
Democrats brought 15 ethics probes and hundreds of FOIAs, they broke into her private Yahoo account, they demolished her children…
And after all that, they never actually found any wrongdoing. nothing like Rezko, for example. Palin’s clean. Maybe you disagree with her, but she’s obviously clean. It’s so unusual for these probes to go on with out any impropriety found, but Palin actually managed just that.
It’s sad that you equate Republicans with intolerance with no sense of irony. If the GOP were really only about white males, then the GOP chair and presidential nominee frontrunners would be white males. What you really mean is that no one can disagree with Obama without being racist. You’re wrong… some people, like me, took Obama at his word and thought he would cut the deficit, close Gitmo, and win the war in Afghanistan quickly and seriously. We thought he would be open and transparent, never signing bills without ample reading time, and never dealing with lobbyists like Andy Stern.
I believed outlets like ABC news, so I never really heard about Rev Wright, Rezko, or Ayers. I didn’t realize how Obama won his earlier seats or how often he skipped out on his job while taking the paycheck. I didn’t know that he flipped Hillary off. I made the mistake of relying on bad sources, and now my deficit cutter has tripled the deficit, inflation is going to destroy my retirement, and I have no idea how I will afford health care, or if I will face prison penalties if I cannot.
I just want someone who can take the heat, and seems to be genuine and honest. I see all this hate directed at Palin, but none of the charges ever actually pan out. So I know there’s at least one honest politician. If there was anything of merit to show Palin’s a crook, we wouldn’t be seeing these dumb attacks.
Posted by: Mary Mapes | November 16, 2009, 2:34 pm 2:34 pm
He’s a trainwreck just waiting to happen and he’ll be DOA in no time at all from AIDS or a drug overdose and then no one will remember him at all. But Sarah Palin will still be getting way too much attention from the Left.
It is amusing actually, watching the Left chase Sarah Palin…it’s rather like watching a dog chase its tail.

I’m not a fan of Sarah Palin, BUT I think she handled the question remarkably well. He IS, like it or not, the father of her grandchild and therefore will be “in the family” forever. She doesn’t want to badmouth him — honorable of her, I think. But she also doesn’t approve of certain things he’s been saying and doing and I think she handled that aspect too. As I said, not a fan — didn’t vote R — but give her credit at least for handling this with a mature attitude, common decency and consideration for her grandchild and her daughter!!!

Mary Mapes, I’m surprised at your determination to vote for Palin. I ask you to please reconsider. While you might have a point that she gets more than her fair share of ridicule, in my opinion that is not even close to a good reason to vote for her.
This is not a game of elementary school pick-up kickball, where you might want to choose the kid who’s been getting picked on, to get back at the bullies. The President of this country carries extraordinary power, is the leader of the world’s strongest military, and makes policy decisions and judicial appointments that reverberate for years/decades.
As voters, if we vote for a president for any other reason than thinking they’d be the best person for the job, we are not doing our jobs as members of this democracy.

Its hilarious Sarah is making fun of Levi’s fifteen minutes of fame. Sarah quit her job as governor to pursue her celebrity money. Levi appears to be more honorable, he did not already have a job. Sarah just quit hers to chase her current messiah – money and fame, the heck with those pesky Alaskan constituents.

Instead of Sarah Palin being self righteous in her comments about her grandchild’s father, she should consider renouncing her “beauty pageant” days when she repeatedly paraded her on the public stage in nothing more than a tight and skimpy bathing suit. *rolleyes*

levi is the kind of guy that comes around daughters that have too much unsupervised activities going on. they are everywhere and they go to public schools with your kids. the best way to help your kids not get pregnant in idiotic situations like that is help watch your kids and love them, not have these losers do the babysitting for you, and especially teenagers benefit from having good supervision and adults around, the best way to get to college is be there and help your kid learn why education is important and why having kids young might not be so good. it doesn’t have to be mom, but at least one wise adult should be spending time with their kids, lots and lots of time, guide them to adulthood with wisdom, not slacking off with losers, pay attention to their friends and help them pick good ones (no friends is better than bad ones if it comes down to it)

The media has kept Levi in the spotlight as a means to destroy her. This is a kid who shows NO reflection on Palin’s personal judgement, but yet his existence proves she is white trash?
Nevermind that biden’s daughter was caught with cocaine, or Clinton stuck a cigar where the sun doesn’t shine (and was also accused of rape by juanita broderick). It’s Sarah Palin who is trashy because of her daughter’s pregnancy!
If the media had spent 1/2 the time seeking out people from obama’s CLOSE inner group of friends (rev racist, bill ayers, rashid khalidi, ACORN) we would not have a liberal socialist who HATES America as prez right now.

It’s annoying when righty-right, churchy, holier-than-thou people say that they “are praying” for those they dislike. What they are really implying is that they are praying to a higher power (supposedly God) to strip you of your free will and brainwash you into seeing things “their way”. God’s not interested in that, and that’s not what prayer is for; it’s not voodoo. Furthermore, they’re usually lying and never pray for anybody other than themselves. To do so would require them to stop being self-centered for a moment.

Christ-follow (Christianity) is neither fully right nor fully left but right on values (10 Commandments) and left on economics (help the poor and those weaker than you). Interestingly, it all goes back to respecting God and loving others: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40 This goes to show that there is good in the philosophies of both the Republicans and the Democrats — the conservatives and the liberals — but neither stand fully in Christ.

Levi doesn’t realize it but he’s only giving the Palins ammunition to use against him in court with this nude photo shoot. He said last week that he is going to take the Palins to court and sue for joint custody of his son. If the Palins want to use it, all they’ll have to do is present those nude photos to the judge and that will probably blow his case out of court! I don’t think any judge is going to give him custody of a child after seeing those photos because he will have to prove himself to be a fit and moral parent! I honestly don’t think Bristol and the Palins have anything to worry about in a custody battle. Levi might try to get custody but after those nude photos are printed, his chances are slim to none. That is a good thing because he is NOT ready to be a parent! That baby is better off exactly where he is, with his mother!

What is more pornographic, Levi’s porn career or Sarah Palin’s endless stream of hatred, ignorance, and fanaticism.
No one is forcing you to buy Playgirl, so if you don’t approve of Levi’s photo spread or porn career, don’t buy it. In any rate, like Palin’s book, porn rarely lives up to its hype, and the worst thing that can happen to you should you actually buy Playgirl is probably a sense of disappointment.
But let’s look at the effects of Sarah Palin’s lies and distortions.
She attacks health care reform, calling it pulling the plug on grandma. According to a study published by the Harvard Medical school, 44,000 people die each year because of inadequate health care – including veterans and children. Insurance companies already employ death panels to decide whose illness they will cover. Those who are too sick are left to die. Thousands of people are dying because of Palin’s ignorant garbage – and does any one hold Palin responsible.
Palin also believes global warming is a hoax or at least not caused by human activity. Perhaps she should read the latest book by Al Gore – Oh I forget – Palin doesn’t read anything – If people believe Sarah Palin, we face catastrophe’s of unspeakable proportions. Already 250,000 children a year are dying because of the effects of global warming.
She attacks Obama for “dithering” in Afghanistan. What is her solution, bomb the entire country? How will this solve the problem? It will just get a lot of people killed and make enemies far faster than we can kill them.
So who is the most pornographic? A 19 year old whose porn spread you don’t have to buy and actually kills or injures no one – or Sarah Palin, whose ignorance will get a lot of people, including women and children, killed.

I’m from Amsterdam Holland.
We have to many political parties even to mention here and to me it so amazing that any judgement about whatever situation always seems to be based in the fact if somebody is either republican or democrat.
Everything turns out to be black or white.
Absolutely no greys in opinions.
I amused myself watching the Palin interviews. Miss Palin is a skilful public figure. They know how to talk themselves out of almost everything.
Levi is a just a boy and to me this makes him more authentic.
Palin’s marriage could be a disaster and still there would be reasons for both of them to portray bliss.
We will see what the future brings.
Presidents don’t devorce…..
But please please continue this soap opera
I’m enjoying it so much!

Frank you are right in that no president has ever divorced while in office but you are forgetting that Ronald Reagan was married twice. Nancy Reagan was his second wife. His first wife was actress Jane Wyman. I think they divorced in the early 1950′s. He had two children with his first wife, a daughter Maureen and an adopted son.

Frank there is one thing that you are wrong about. Levi isn’t “just a boy”. He gave up the right to be just a boy when he became a father. It’s time he acts like a man and a father. He needs to get a real job now because he has a son to support. He shouldn’t be doing nude photo shoots in Playgirl. He needs to be an example for his son. He also shouldn’t be running all over the country criticizing his former girlfriend’s mother. He should get a job with a regular weekly paycheck and start sending Bristol a child support check every week! It’s not right that the Palins should be supporting his child!

You know what the 2012 disaster is going to be. Sarah Palin being elected president! Get over it Sarah it takes two to tango , Levi wasn’t the only one in that bed! You pray for him we’ll pray for you ,your family and all your supporters!

Hey “just a voter”-Levi didn’t bow out on his child they bowed out on him!

At least with this kind of exposure at such a young age, Levi will fit right in with the other Republicans at the “C” street house.

Kelly IF they bowed out on him it’s because he’s acting like a creep and going around spreading trash about the Palins which may or may not be true. Neither you nor I know if what he’s telling is the truth because we weren’t there in the Palin household and we didn’t hear the actual conversations. I do know that there is a strong possibility that he’s lying because Bristol broke up with him and he was kicked out of their household and they won’t allow him to see his son just anytime that he wants to. He’s angry that they control when he’s allowed to see the baby and he’s not allowed to be alone with the baby or to leave their house with him. Therefore the stories that he’s telling should be “taken with a grain of salt” because he does have grievances against the Palins. He might be telling the truth but it’s more likely he’s lying or twisting the truth to make himself look good. He’s also vengeful and he hates Sarah Palin and he’s out to hurt her and discredit her and bring her down in any way he can. He’s also lazy and won’t find a job and support his son! He has delusions of grandeur. He thinks he’s God’s gift to women and he thinks going to get rich as a nude male model and an actor. He thinks he’s too good looking to take just any job, especially one that might actually require him to work! He thinks in spite of all this he should have free access to his son. He’s too ignorant to realize that it’s because of the hateful things he’s said and the fact that he won’t find a job and support his son, that Bristol and her parents limit and control his visits with his baby.

“…he won’t find a job…”
But the baby’s grandmother had a good job that she quit. She’s currently unemployed. She even got someone to write a book and put her name on it. Talk about lazy.
And her husband quit his job with BP when he had to take a “non-management” job – in other words, he had to work.
Now the oldest daughter lists her occupation as “Abstinence spokesperson”.
Doesn’t anyone in the family want to work????
Admit it, Sarah Palin is the new Tammy Faye Baker. I can’t wait for the mascara-running crying breakdown on national TV.

OB-Wan222 You are forgetting that the Palins own a fishing business in Bristol Bay, Alaska! They ARE employed! They’re self-employed! They go there every summer to work in their business! I believe they also have employees that run the business the rest of the time. In the summer, though, Sarah and Todd actually work in their business them selves. They do work but they just work for themselves! And another thing, Bristol is making a living as an abstinence spokeperson. She gets paid for every appearance she makes unless it’s at a charity event! There is someone else that you’re forgetting about. The Palin’s oldest son Trac is a member of our armed forces and, therefore, earns a weekly paycheck from our military! They are employed and they earn their pay the clean and wholesome way, without appearing nude in Playgirl!

OB-Wann222 There is something else I want to tell you. I highly respected Tammy Faye Baker! I remind you that her husband Jim cheated on her and not the other way around. It wasn’t Tammy’s fault that their ministry failed. It was her husband’s. He not only cheated on her but he also played fast and loose with some of the money that was sent to him for donations to help build their amusement park or whatever it was they were going to build. And another thing, Tammy Faye Baker died a few years ago from cancer. You should respect the dead and let the dead rest in peace!

i just love how conservatives claim to have a monopoly on values- despite running this country into the ground during the Bush years, selling our souls to the banking industry, and raising skanky alcoholic daughters, etc.- and how when it all comes crumbling down and the truth is revealed they find such creatively stupid ways of denying it. Luckily the only have to convince their base, which is easy because they can’t read well

divinity We don’t have a monopoly on values but you democrats think you do! With all of your criticising us republicans in these comment boards you are doing the same thing that you are accusing us republicans of! You think you’re the only ones with values! You are also conveniently forgetting about the trillions that Obama has added to our national debt with his bailouts and stimulus package that so far hasn’t worked! That’s just in the 11 months that he’s been in office! You are also conveniently forgetting about his extravagant lifestyle that the taxpayers are paying for. First there were all of the inaugural balls that cost millions of dollars. Then he was on vacation all summer traveling nearly all over the world to places like Paris, Africa, and all over the American west. He took his kids to Euro Disney and they visited the Grand Canyon. They also spent over a week at a very exclusive and expensive luxury bed and breakfast inn on Martha’s Vineyard island. He also takes Michelle on dates that cost thousands of dollars. He took her on one weekend date last spring to New York that cost over $70,000. The taxpayers have paid for all of it! Then there is also his failed trip to Europe a couple of months ago to try to secure the summer olympics for Chicago. The taxpayers paid for that, too, and that trip was nonsense! When you add it all up Obama has already cost the taxpayer much more than Bush did in all of the eight years that he was in office! And about the alcoholic skanky daughters, if you’d really do some checking into their backgrounds you would find plenty of democrat politicians with skanky sons and daughters too! And another thing, just because the Bush daughters did some wild things when they were in college doesn’t necessarily mean they are skanks! I just imagine you’d find that Chelsea Clinton did some wild things when she was in college too if you could check her record! The only difference is the media didn’t hear about it! I’m also going to remind you the Barack Obama smoked pot and did drugs when he was in college! Do you think he’s a skank?

divinity You are wrong about something else, too! The republican base DOES read and we read very well, too! Sarah Palin reads too in spite of what happened in that interview with Katie Couric! She reads very well, too! In fact she was one of the few people who took the time to read the stimulus package to find out what was in it instead of just mindlessly signing it without reading it, like most governors did! She also read the current health care reform bill! That’s why she says the current bill will cause death panels and there are many senators who agree with her including Inhofe and Coburn of Oklahoma! Incidentally, Coburn is a medical doctor who had a practice in Oklahoma before he became a senator. He dealt with insurance companies every day. If anyone would know how health insurance companies work, it would be him!
