Palin's Oprah Interview: Levi Doing 'Porn' Is 'Heartbreaking'

(AP) CHICAGO -- Sarah Palin says it's "a bit heartbreaking" to see the road the father of her grandson has taken.

Palin appeared on Monday's episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," saying Levi Johnston is on a road that is "not a healthy place to be."

Palin's 413-page book, "Going Rogue," will be released Tuesday and she begins a book tour Wednesday in Grand Rapids, Mich.

The new memoir doesn't contain any references to Johnston, who's sparred with his former mother-in-law-to-be.

The former Alaska governor and former Republican vice presidential candidate told Winfrey that Johnston has been busy with media tours and hasn't seen his son "for a while."

"Some of the things that he is doing is kind of heartbreaking," she added. Referencing his decision to pose naked for Playboy, she said, "I call that porn."

But Palin said she continued "to hope for the best, and pray for Levi."

You're buds with the booted California Miss America the masterbation queen, who has made numerous tapes of herself pounding her meat and this is just fine with you?.

[redsongia]

Yet I notice her middle daughter is not in the family photo.

Is she locked up at home in her chastity belt to avoid any more embarrassing Palin family oopsies?

Next time she feels like slamming Levi in the national press, she should think about the values and the self-esteem she instilled in her daughters and ask herself how Levi, imperfect as he may be, wound up a "member of the family" as she ironically puts it.

Can't wait for the follow-up book, "Pastor, I Am Stupid".

[jeremyfive]

And cheating the citizens of Alaska is less "heartbreaking"?

[annie g]

And so is lying, fearmongering and racism. How Christian of her.

[american-dolt]

He's in it for the Money, just like you Sarah.

[AlwaysRightLeftist]

Playgirl isn't "po.rn" you backwards m.or.on.

[Middleclassvotingbloc]

Wait a minute, I thought Levi was living and sleeping with her daughter in Palin's home. I am missing something hear.

[Marnie1]

He claims it, she refutes it.
Only the neighbors know for sure.

But he "slept" with Bristol somewhere while both sets of parents weren't watching their children.

Why do I think there is a bit of jealousy going on. I think Sarah had a thing for Levi's hockey stick . After all, her daughter was supposed to be "abstaining".
And how she can say Levi hasn't seen his son for a while doing media tours when she doing the exact same thing. At least when she was governor she took her kids with her and just charged the state $700/nite for a hotel room and over $20,000 for traveling expenses !

I wonder if she thinks Carrie Prejeans sex tapes were porn?

[AlwaysRightLeftist]

Of course not. Carrie Prejean calls herself a Christian, therefore

Once again you take the position,if someone does something you don't agree with,it or
they are evil.
I truly hope you get the nomination for the RepugniCAN'T party's presidential candidate.
The moderate Repugs and independents will turn against you just like they did last year,
and you won't have anyone to point the finger at but yourself,your choices and your beliefs,
archaic as they may be.

Oh, get over it, Palin. You're just jealous that he's prettier than you!

[AlwaysRightLeftist]

Well, I don't know about "prettier", but definitely more handsome (since she's what one would refer to as a "handsome" woman rather than a "pretty" woman)

[Mikeeee]

She's a mutt.

[stujo4]

Is Sarah wearing a wig, or not? Looks awful.

[AlwaysRightLeftist]

Is Sarah wearing a prosthetic nose, or what? Looks awful.

[redsongia]

No, but her nose tends to grow whenever she talks, a la Pinochio.

[G-guy]

Nailin' Palin.....now THAT was porn!

[MakeAWish]

More free press for the irrelevant palin
