I really feel sorry for this guy. He was a normal kinda cute, kinda dumb kid who got a kinda cute, kinda dumb girl knocked-up - but that girl happened to be the daughter of the soon to be super famous, and always slightly evil Sarah Pay-lin. Now he is stuck in fame purgatory, were you lose all privacy and can't live a normal life, but don't have the rewards that fame can bring. You have to resort to being a fame bottom-feeder and have to try and figure out a way to make the best of it any way you can (trash books, porn, club bookings etc) Hmmmm the only difference between Sarah and Levi is she choose to be a fame bottom feeder and he was forced into it, they should learn to get along and go into cahoots with each other.

They may not be poor, but they sure are trashy...

Bristol can move into the "smaller" house now! Wonder how she is enjoying her new "Dodge Ram".

Where I live, if a mother tried to deny access to the father of a child, due to child payment arrears...a judge would slap mmomy around the court room telling her "child support" and "child access" are two separate issues, and to deny a child visitation with the father is emotional abuse.....

Guess Bristol lives what she learned, maniuplation and abuse!

Nice to see that Van Flein ( Sarah's Lawyer ) is STILL sending anonymous stories

and Faxes to the TMZ people to try to write negative stories about Levi. This is about the 4th one now.
And one time TMZ reported the story about 1 hour before Van Flein made the Press release announcement.
Oopss..... that embarrassing. The date/time stamp on the Fax proved Van Flein leaked it.

Bristol is quickly morphing into her mother's clone. this vindictive, hypocritical, lying, grifting, grubbing family is truly a menace to society

Levi is in the midst of a custody battle for his child. He's paid Bristol a lump sum of ~ $20,000, for back support, plus $1750.00 per month. Meanwhile, the Palins have kept Levi from seeing his child for weeks at a time. Little Tripp's grandmother and aunt have not been allowed to see him for months at a time. WHY? Because of "Granny", and her well known vindictiveness.

Levi crossed the half term ex governor, when he told us that Sarah was a liar, and predicted she would quit her job as Governor of Alaska, so she could write a book and go on tours, so she could make lots more money

Well, Granny dearest did exactly what Levi said she would do, and now she's making him pay
( literally!) by cutting him out of the life of his son.

She really is a cold hearted hctib.

to cry poor me, and that just wouldn't be acceptable. Sympathy is

Appreciate a few words of sanity regarding poor Levi. I sensed that he was telling the truth about the Pay-lin bunch and yet he is constantly villified while they prosper. His almost ma in law gained her initial acclaim via beauty pageants yet she criticized him for taking a money making venture into the same milieu. She made an issue of his family's legal woes yet tries to minimize the many 'illegal' acts she committed in her rise to Alaskan power.

He said he could tell more, well I for one would be interested in a few more juicy quotes that might sink lil $ista's credibility once and for all.

She can find sympathy between shit and syphilis in the dictionary.

Someone's leaking this misinformation to affect the upcoming custody trial. Bristol can say what she wants about Levi and his family in interviews, but the fact remains that she picked him to father her child, no one else. 1750,00 a month seems a bit over the top as far as child support for one child. At least it seems Levi has been trying all along to step up to the plate, something a lot of young fathers don't even bother doing.
Tripp's best interest should be the focus of the trial, not who's family is better or worse, richer or poorer or more famous.

I don't think he should have to pay as long as she's under her mother's wing, going out to clubs underaged, and making all of that cash on being a Palin and a hypocrite.

Gov. Sarah Palin & Bristol have been compassionate & magnanimous with the odious parasite Levi, but he is a heavy cross to bear, and even Gov. Palin's patience has its limits. Johnston must accept his responsibilites, and man up. Of course, he would love to weasel his way back into the good graces of the Palin family, but who can trust him?

I don't think Levi has any intention in giving involved with Bristol again. At least if he has any brains he won't. All he cares about is Tripp and if Bristol always says he's a mistake and He's such hard work why doesn't she give custody to Levi. I feel sorry for Tripp when he grows up and reads about what his mother says about raising him -mistake-hard work-father doesn't care- couldn't go to college because of him.- exhausted all the time- cost to much- Bristol grow up and quit your whining and using that child to make money...if you really wanted to go to college I'm sure Sarah would help like other parents do, she can afford it after all...

I think somebody has a huge crush on Levi. You think ALL Levi cares about is Tripp? No interest at all in money? Miss Sarah is raking it in and he would have been enjoying the good life right now if he had stayed to begin with. I bet ole Levi thinks about that from time to time.

Wha? Compassionate? Magnanimous? By... dragging him onto the international stage, throwing him away, denying him access to his son, and squeezing every penny out of him that they can while jet setting around the world beating their breasts about what a burden it is to have babies?

I'm not buying Bristol's bullshit for a minute. I was an eldest daughter, too, and I only had two siblings -- but I knew all too well what babies were like, which is why I made it through my youth sans pregnancies.

Levi's a well-intended, kinda dopey Real American teen boy, as far as I can see. And he's "manned up" far more times than the average well-intended, kinda dopey Real American boy. He's offered to be there, he's indicated a willingness to be in his son's life, he's paid his child support ONCE A PAYMENT AMOUNT WAS DETERMINED and he's done nothing but speak well of the mother of his child.

Bristol, on the other hand, needs help with that last nail and can't seem to say a good word about the young man who hasn't told her family's lies to the world.

Yet.

Oh... that's why hes such a "heavy cross to bear." He knows things and can't just be fired. Or worse.

Thank you for trying to throw that hammer back at Thor. I actually thought that post was a visit from $ista herself but then I realized the sentence structure was too concise. But, another valiant attempt to besmirch Levi while further greasing the Pay-lin wheel.

And the baby's multimillionaire grandma, the Resign-a-nator aka Drill-Baby-Drill with an vast oil slike named for her, who jumped from a book ghost-written for her into the national spotlight, is unable to contribute adequately to this child. . . WHY?

If Sarah Palin had been an honorable mother, she would have had legitimate grandchildren.

As Palin is sad filth, naturally the baby will go wanting (while Palin keeps the dresses from her Ballroom Events)--along with the proceeds from other murky finanacial dealings she is well known for.

I sure know a lot of dishonorable liberal Dem mothers by your definition. Our President's family as well or did you forget that little tidbit? Last time I checked the law it is the mother and father of a childs place to support the child NOT the grandmother.

Different situation completely; don't troll.

Truth is Levi is paying $1750.00 per month for ONE child, and Bristol's contribution is ???

She recently received $20,000 in back pay child support from before they had any agreement.

She's received six figure salaries herself for each of the magazine covers she has been on with her mother.

She received $100,000.00 for her In Touch cover story.

She says she works 8-5, 5 days a week, so she gets some salary from that job.

Bristol owns her own Public Relations Agency in Alaska.

She is the Candies spokesperson in their ABSTINENCE campaign, and pulls in well over six figures for THAT gig.

Todd and Sarah gave her a Cadillac Escalade so she would stop seeing Levi,so she has NO car payment.

Todd and Sarah recently built a HUGE new home next door to their home on the lake in Alaska and Bristol has been living with her parents at their home.

So, WHERE are BRISTOL's contributions to her son's care?

And why does she complain about being a single mom, when she has kept Levi and his family from seeing Tripp for weeks AND months at at time?

It is truly frightening to think how much she is exactly like her mother, a grifter, through and through.

Yet she complains in public that she is doing this all alone, with no suppport.

I am glad that Levi is paying the child support on time. This whole thing has been in the news ONLY because of SP. P was so busy trying to make LJ look like a "monster". Most people "side" with the girl, but they never think how a boy's life is affected. And think of a boy who has someone like the P family "going after him". Yes, I used the term "boy" and for BP, I would use the term "girl"--just kids who really got thrown out there in the limelight of the PBUBLIC EYE, and for what reason? Remember how the two of them got into the limelight? Most people cannot even imagine themselves in such chaos.

This is not "news"; it's a continuation of the "circus". Should all local newspapers have this kind of "news" section? Anyway, I believe that there has been so much more going on under the surface.

Just think about it from all aspects, from all points of view, from all angles.
