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.

Gotta love the party of "family values". Just don't ask what type of family.

[LooktotheLeft]

Levi has his shirt off while he, at least in the photo op, changes the baby.

So, does he disrobe altogether when he changes his oil?

[lucite]

LOL

[kareemachan]

Stupid comment.

[LooktotheLeft]

Thanks

[cognitivereddawn]

Too bad her parents couldn't educate her in birth control. Shows poor judgment.

[lucite]

It leaves me speechless that Sarah and Todd are so proud that their daughter made the right Christian decision to keep the child. How can a parent be proud of a child that was stupid enough to have unprotected sex. The first thing to teach your teenagers is to never ever have sex with out protection. Sexually transmitted diseases, some of which kill, should be an open discusion in all households with young sexually curious teenagers. IMO.. if that was my daughter I would be flipping out, not about the pregnancy but about the stupidity of having unprotected sex.

Todd says to Bristol, "Levi is bringing a sense of dignity to this household...so he has to go"

Republicant true family values! Trucks, guns and booze! Who need a father or a wife for the children? Money talks and family value walks!!

[Chi-townfool]

I would have totally dump Bristol for a truck some guns and some booze! There's nothing wrong with nocking back a few then driving out to the boonies and shooting guns!

[OkieIntellectual]

Whose bright idea was it to use that picture with this article. It clearly shows a nude infant, which in some states can get you busted for child pornography just for having it come up on your computer.

And no, I'm not trying to be funny or sarcastic, I'm quite serious about this. That picture is not appropriate and could get people in trouble.

[Aabby]

its a baby!

[unhhockey]

Jerry, you gotta see the baaaaaby!

[OkieIntellectual]

Yeah, and in some states simply having that picture displayed on your computer can get you thrown in jail. I'm seriously not kidding about this.

[kareemachan]

It's appropriate as it shows the father helping with one of the less fun aspects of babies. Get over it.

[bugsbonzai]

Dude. Calm down. Pictures of naked kids are asexual unless you ascribe some context to it yourself. Child pornography has a definition- it must be a child in a purposefully lewd or suggesting manner meant to titillate or in a position of sexual exploitation. So those pictures my mom has of me in the tub? NOT CHILD PORN.

[jalyn]

Can't say I blame her; it probably was like Jed Clampett's old 1920's truck. Lots of room though, for a big family.

[mitsie]

Can you imagine this senerio playing out in the White House instead of Alaska? This would make an American embarrasement.

[conniec]

Much like the past 8 years of Bushdom is an American embarassment.

[OfStarDust56]

Has someone schooled that PALIN broad on some good English language skills yet? Or are they going to keep on breeding more retards.

[hackerblaster]

It was very ethical of Todd Palin to do this.

[PlagueRat]

I LOVE this family! They are the gift that keeps on giving.

[martiniandabotoxchaser]

This kid is going to end up on a reality TV show.

[DrJon]

I'll give Sarah a car if she'll go away!

[AbeMartin]

Really? The Palin style would have been to get some hunky guy or gal on the Alaskan payroll to run Levi over.

"Todd Palin offered Bristol a Car to Dump Levi."

Where did Todd want Bristol to dump him?
