Todd Palin Offered Bristol A Car To Dump Levi

The full GQ profile of Levi Johnston is now online. The whole article is pretty interesting, especially if you're into bear hunting. But the most revealing passages from the subject himself come at the end, where he discusses his breakup with Bristol Palin.

Just going over there makes me pretty damn uncomfortable. I would call and say, "Can I pick him up?" It was, "No, you can't have him, but you can come see him." Just going over there, and Todd and Sarah sitting there staring at me, doesn't do it for me. Todd never says anything, really. Sarah, I don't know. She's a politician. She knows how to throw in a fake smile and look happy. They're pretty good at that.

Everybody was kind of like, we didn't talk as much anymore, you know, and we just kind of like drifted apart, as far as me and Sarah and Todd. Then me and Bristol just started fighting more and more. I thought it was, like, 'cause she was pregnant, she was moody and that kind of thing. So I was dealing with it and stuff. But it didn't stop after she had Tripp. Things got worse. So I was like, "All right."

As to whether he wanted to get back together with Bristol, Levi said "That's just not even in my mind ... There's lots of pretty girls." But when asked whether it bothered him that he "changed your whole life for this future and now they've shut you out," the young father simply said, "Yes."

In an yet-to-be released interview with GQ, Levi Johnston, the ex-boyfriend of teen mom Bristol Palin (and father to her son, Tripp) reveals even more details about the dynamics of his relationship with Bristol and her family.

Johnston told GQ that Todd Palin, on multiple occasions, offered to buy his daughter a car if she would break up him.

Since their split in March the two have separately given numerous media interviews, in which various divides have emerged. Johnston has declared that abstinence is unrealistic and been fairly frank in discussing the couple's love life. His family has also gone public with complaints that the Palins do not allow them enough contact with the baby. Bristol, on the other hand, after initially questioning abstinence has become an ardent campaigner for the cause but reluctant to discuss her own romantic past.

According to New York Magazine, who snagged a preview of the article, Johnston said he has no plans to get back together with Bristol.

I'll buy Levi a car... if he wants to walk around shirtless at my place...
We would just call it a "civil union of convenience"... LOL

[metalhead39]

Oh, good, it's not just me that sees that backwoods dude and wants some kind of mindless, meaningless thing. Nice enough guy, I suppose, but really no need for deep conversation over moose stew, red wine and candlelight.

"offered to buy his daughter a car if she would break up him"

what is wrong with this "sentence"

[mom792]

It's in Palin-esque

[ithejury6]

say, what kind of car is sarah herself driving, and when did todd buy it for her? note: its not that we necessarily believe the mean-spirited story that levi is trig's father but sarah (not bristol) is trig's real mother (although this WOULD help explain odd circumstances associated with trig's birthplace) or the story that palin's clan has traditionally viewed family reunions as a chance to 'meet women'.]

[peachfuzz]

Everyone should have a car BEFORE they start having sex.
Everyone should be able to get away fast.

[marley22]

Why is this in the 'Politics' section? I think it belongs in 'Style'.

[ScreenName05]

Uh okay, but did she get the car?

[Owltree]

Ah jist kaynt git enuff uv thim Palins....evun tho thay iz gettin' mitey hi-falutin'! Bristol doent kneed kno kar....thet gal kneeds hur a Mossberg Model 590A1-12 gauge shotgun with a 14" barrel, pistol grip and a telescopic sight! Bet sheed uv listuned to 'ol Todd fur thet littul beeyouty.

Bristol was offered a car to dump Levi.....Great.....Now Levi is on GQ. Now all the women will see for themselves what Bristol had missed... Do you know, now that Levi is on GQ, how many babes is going to score?.....I say Levi got the better end of the deal...Don't you think?

[officer milkbone]

After having had his kid, it seems to me that Bristol has already had everything that Levi had to offer.

You don't abort babies, you abort fetuses. Semantics are important.

[lvdragonlady]

Sold her s0ul for a car, imagine that.

This reminds me of the Satuday Night Live skit where Rosanna Arquette was playing a manicurist who just won her soul back from the devil in the People's Court. They asked her if she'd ever sell her soul to the devil again and she said "Maybe for a really cool car!"

I mean come on, what a trashy family. He may as well have just promised her free chewing tobacco for a year and a gift certificate to the local tattoo parlor.

"But daddy, I don't wanna go parkin' with you no more."

[Babbaganoosh]

Ouch!

[saami]

What is truly sad is the baby needs a father and someday Levi may want to be that dad and miss his son terribly. It turns out this is a good example of why not to go ahead with an unplanned pregnancy when the parents are not married or committed to each other. There will be much pain in the future.

[SteveDenver]

Maybe some hotshot lawyer with Palinitis will step up and help Levi to legally secure his paternal rights.

[blah blah blah]

So abort a baby because the father might miss it? Ok.

[kotipup]

I strongly believe that legally it should be a woman's choice - whether it is to abort, or go through with the pregnancy. In this case, it was Bristol's choice to give birth, and I don't think it is my place to question that any more that it would be my place to question a young woman's choice to have an abortion. Every person has a different circumstance.

On the other hand, it is an argument against abstinence-only ed and I would criticize both Palins for holding steadfast to that, even though it has obviously not worked in their own family.

You don't need god you have the GOP.

[harmonikasavingsbonds]

What kind of car?

[Phoebe917]

[KimberleyC]

tee hee hee

[LeftVetPatriot]

It was just too hard to rise up to those lofty Palin social standards, yes?
