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.

How does this family come up with these phuqdup names?

[hortonhearsdawho]

crystal (meth) ball...

[BuzzingAlong]

soon-to-be-announced television project

leading role in a movie

future as a reality star seems bright

been to Los Angeles a few times for talent meetings

Only in America.

Why isn't finishing high school on this list?

Or joining the military?

[MisterHands]

Even Levi is smart enough not to join the military.

[PurplePeon]

Did you just call all of our military stupid?

[Freesia2]

Hey. Looking at your avatar - would that be "hay". :-)

Seriously though, don't diss the the folks in uniform. They've served some lousy missions for some lousy people - but they're the best and braver than I'll ever be so.....be nice to our soldiers. Nice horsie.

[Gatorray11]

At least he has a choice. Sarah Barracuda Palin's son had to join. A judge gave him a choice -- join the Army or go to jail. He did and is now serving in Iraq. Of course, the Palins would have you believe it was all patriotism. May be the red neck kid is not a dumb as the Palins would like you to believe.

It's what they don't tell you is what your really ahve to watch with them. How about daddy Todd offering her a new car to break up with Levi Johnston?

[hortonhearsdawho]

horse manure...

[AlwaysRightLeftist]

What a pointless and unremarkable article.

[PurplePeon]

It's just HP attempting to throw a little red meat out to its audience. A weak attempt.

(As I'm sure you were already aware.)

[2008CaliforniaFan]

At least you picked the appropriate moniker.

[kareemachan]

Whatever.

[Gatorray11]

What will you blind Sarah Palin followers come up with next? Sarah Barracuda, Mother of the Year? Let's see Mrs. Family Values had seen her 17 year old daughter get pregnant out of wedlock. She gave birth at 18 and then dumped the father.

Her son got into trouble with the law and had to join the Army to avoid jail. Her husband tried to use his influence as Alaska's First Dude to fire his former brother-in-law as a state trooper following a bitter divorce with Sarah's sister.

And Todd's half sister was arrested after she was caught breaking into a neighbor's house. She is charged with doing it twice. Now they are really in the running for family of the year. Guys keep up the good fiction. I see why you guys get pissed at Levi for rain on your phony parade.

[PepeLepew]

"I ain't never moving...."
Ah, poor, Levi.
You probably aren't.

[liberalbug]

In Wasilla, other than the Pailin daughters, that place has nothing going for it. Maybe he's sticking around until Willow comes of age?

[PurplePeon]

How long you lived there?

[Gatorray11]

He didn't wait to get Bristol pregnant. But then I forgot. She became pregnant by believing in abstinence only.

[jesco-dancin-outlaw]

Wasilla is known for their exemplary public education system.

[Gatorray11]

And forcing rape victims to pay for their rape testing kits. Another legacy Sarah Palin left behind as mayor.

[angelv]

He's so well spoken

[Krankil]

absolutely. I was like uhhh and she was like yeah right and I was like what? and she was like F you and I was like oh my God and she was like duh

[weatherwaxx]

Self-described... so handy, I think Huffpo would censor that description.

WHY are we being subjected to another episode of "He-said-she-said Meets the Wasilla Hillbillies?"

GO AWAY, Levi. And GO AWAY, Palins.

Waste of news space.

[Areyoume2]

Hey Trip-Trap, we (ole crowded New York) wouldn't mind having one Palin Less (or is that Palin, once removed). .

[Lynnce]

Its time for this boy to grow up and man up and stop talking bad about his sons family in public. His son will read all this one day?.

[marinade]

He is the one being attacked.

[Steve Magruder]

He is manning up by speaking the truth. I welcome it.

[Freesia2]

You're making a funny.

And yes he will grow up and read all this - that Palin started. Kind of like Trig will ....well I was about to say when he can read. His parents spend almost no time with him so he'd probably not only developmentally challenged by nature and in need of extra attention, but also challenged from neglect. Anyway - if Trig is able to read and surf at some point he will read that his mother considered aborting him. Something she should have kept private. Like a grownup.

Levi will grow up. Grandma? Too late.

[aznurse]

wait, is Bristol and Levi's baby named Trig? Whats Sarah Palins baby name?
This is confusing.

[LemonMeringue]

I fear for him a little bit.

I think Palin is vicious and will do anything.

[Freesia2]

Bank on it.

[BMS]

If anything happens to him, she'd better have an airtight alibi.

So frustrating.........uneducated, inarticulate, disinterested young man being given opportunities to become financially independent. Others of similiar age are paying a small fortune to attend university. I do wish our society would realign it sense of worth. Pediatric cardiologists who save hundreds of lives annually make less than Levi can in an afternoon.

Thanks for highlighting the idiocy of this society that claims to be based on meritocracy.

[xmw]

"I don't like NY". Why Levi? because you can't see Russia????

[LeAnn Cammack]

No, I rather think it's because he's a small town boy, who got thrust into the spotlight, and is trying to make the best of it. I can't blame him. And if he is taking a shot at earning some serious dough, why not? It'll be a fleeting 15 minutes of fame, at the peak, and he's probably thinking of his family and his son back home, or maybe his hometown high school. I would try to make as money as I could so I could help my family, provide for my future, and provide an education for my son. And if he's having fun at the same time, good for him.

[citizen of the universe]

I agree

[mmlk]

You might want to think about returning to the planet you came from. Sorry, he's just not that typt.

[Pupadup4oBama]

well said!

[busterbrownthefirst]

I read that he had to cut his mullet before he attended the convention. That would have upset anyone.

[Daniel Torluemke]

I think Levi did the right thing bailing out on these people.

[nk007]

He absolutely "did the right thing" I am sure he quickly realized that the Pallins were using him for their own political benefit and could care less about his interests.

[marinade]

OMG, he's not going to upstage Sarah, is he?

He better watch out for the 15 RWEs.

[betty22]

this guy is still looking for his 15min of fame
