Levi Johnston On RNC: "That Was Ridiculous"

New York Magazine:

"That was ridiculous," Levi says of the RNC. "I was just like, 'Uhhh.'  " At the time, the Palins insinuated he'd have to move to D.C. if McCain won. "I ain't never moving," he says with a shudder, thinking back. Luckily for him, his team lost. He and Bristol broke up early this year, shortly after they welcomed baby Tripp Easton into the world. But the life of this self-described "fucking redneck" did not go back to normal.

“I can’t wait to get home.”

Easy enough...g­o home...and stay there.

No one is making you look like a lost 4 year old on a subway.

Go home and pretend you are a Father.

[pam45]

Very true!

[jbrantow]

Another GOP phony PR campaign exposed. It's like a 3rd rate off off off failed broadway show. No real substance in the GOP.....ju­st a advertising window in a discount store.

[shockaslim]

And why does it matter what this twerp says?

[whatthel]

Slow news day on the HP.

[Gatorray11]

Because he exposes the Sarah Palin version of being this great family values family. Your Republican Sarah Barracuda wirshipers hate this kid because he shoots more gigantic holes in the Palin "family values" hypocrisy.

Where was Sarah when the young man was reportedly staying over as a Bristol sleeping companion? Did Sarah and Todd -- if they permitted such a sleeping arrangement -- at least discuss the need to use protection? Or did they believe the two were practicing abstinence only?

Bristol has become a spokewoman for abstinence only. This is after saying on national TV that abstinence only was "unrealist­ic." Is this sudden change of mind a cover-up for her politically ambitious mother? By the way, the sponsor of this message is a company that makes provacitive outfits for female teenagers. The Republican hypocrisy of being the party of family values continues. Just look Mark Sanford hypocrisy 101 in South Carolina.

Yes, I can see why you guys hate Levi Johnston so much. He is another hole in your phony family values fictional story.

Well for the time being, she's out of the picture. I do hope she is the candidate for President for the GOP!!! Oh PLEASE say it's true.

[Swampstomper]

Republicans do not have a monopoly on hypocrits. Ted Kennedy,Bill Clinton, Gov. Spitzer and many others come to mind. I almost forgot John Edwards' adultry while seeking the Democratic nomination for the presidency and the love child cover up and soon to be released sex tape. All while his wife is dealing with terminal cancer. Put the stone down and go back into your glass house.

A very slow day when we learn anything about the Alaska Governor's family or almost family!

[JoeBlows]

If there is anyone whose opinion matters, it is Levi Johnson. Seat him next to Bill Bennett.

[RaWen]

MMM, sarcasm...­. Delicious.

[MikeRdg]

Be thankful to Palin, she save this nation Mitt Romney in as VP, Mitt would have been a dangerous selection to this nation. The Palin children's issues were poorly handled by the GOP.

[harmonikasavingsbonds]

Who knew?

Who knew that this boy would be the one who was relatively SANE?

[whatthel]

That's because he's not a Palin. But then again, his mom was charged with dealing meth.

[lostpl8]

Actaully his mother was charged with selling oxycotin.

[mychagal]

He's not very intelligent. In fact, he even seems a bit slow. And he's completely out of his league.

[lenoirlady]

This kid's life was ruined by a situation he was a reluctant part of. If Mountain Mama hadn't been in the arena, they would have married and probably made a semi-go of it. Now? Leave the kid alone, for heavens sakes.

[KLordsha]

They should let this guy host a show on MSNBC..

[Krankil]

Great idea lol

[Applecheeks]

Oh the stories he'll tell!

[robbyJ]

He should run as a democrat and relate everything he does to the errors in Sarra Palin. I'd vote for him.

[hopefulinpa]

Palin and the RNC made his life a living hell. They threw him into the limelight when he didn't ask for it and then because he and Bristol broke up Palin turned her vindictiveness toward him and made his life even worse. He is a 19-year-old kid that needs to be left alone to get his life on track.

[pam45]

I think he's only 18 and who knows if he ever graduated from high school. Levi needs to finish school if he hasn't done that; see his son and help raise him; and get a trade like he planned.

[MajorKong]

All I saw was "RNC......­........Ri­diculous"

[whatthel]

That about covers it.

[JDRNYC]

Too bad. Such a good looking guy, but so stupid. I never understood how people can actually be proud of being uneducated morons.

[MizLiz]

Yes, a highschool dropout is just what every mother wants for her daughter.

[Applecheeks]

He's so purty!

[harmonikasavingsbonds]

It's that purty mouth of his...

[JoeBlows]

Oklahoma is full of them.

[bluerednot]

UGH! so much is flowing in his direction - and he is so ill equipped!
but to be fair - it would be a very rare 19 year old who could wisely deal with all of this.
It would have been nice if Sarah had "arranged " for Levi to be given a high school diploma just like she managed to get one awarded to Bristol.

[MizLiz]

You're kidding! I knew Bristol was touted as studying online for her GED, but I don't believe a word of THAT.

[jakitchen]

I don't know if what bluerednot stated is true, but I do know this, You CANNOT get a High School Diploma taking the GED. It's an equivalency test.

[LooktotheLeft]

This kid may amount to something after all

[ibsteve2u]

Yeah....th­ank god he seems to be too honest to be a Republican of the seeking-el­ected-offi­ce sort.

He'd smoke Joe the Plumber.
