Levi Johnston Book About Palin Family Set For Publication

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Levi Johnston is promising to set the record straight about the Palin family.

Touchstone Publishing has a fall publication date for Johnston's book, "Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs."

Johnston fathered a child with Bristol Palin, the daughter of the former Alaska governor, when they were teenagers. The pregnancy was announced days after Palin was selected as the 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate. The couple broke up after the birth of their son, Tripp, and reconciled briefly.

He's had a contentious relationship with the Palins.

Johnston says the book, first reported by People.com Monday, will "tell the truth" about that relationship, including his "sense of Sarah and my perplexing fall from grace." He says he's doing it "for me, for my boy Tripp and the country."

I hope he gives the REAL goods on the Palin family, and not try to make them look good. Because that would just discredit him.

Nice Playgirl photo's of Levi Johnston beneath the article. Regardless, i just can't imagine having Sarah Palin as a mother in law.

Be careful who you burn when you're full of fire, cause you'll be the one who will burn to a crisp. Now S. Palin is going to find out that her ex-future son-in-law isn't just another of her mindless worshipers. She probably blasted so many fiery smelly Moose F@rts when Levi lived with the family, that he had no choice but to leave. If Levi is such a 'bad person' then why did Bristol 'open for business' and get pregnant with him? She chose him to be her baby's daddy, so she has to live with her decision!

Bristol has a book coming out about her life and Sarah already published one. Why can't Levi do the same. They can not knock him for writing this book, they did.

Whatever he says about Sarah, even if he lies, I'll believe him!

johngary-
we're certainly on the same page here John! I doubt he'll have to lie though. Just think of all the name calling for political rivals and the folk who think they're her friends. How about tbose hunting trips where she would shoot a bunny with a deer rifle. the fishing trips where she would club a fish into submission.I would like to know if she had any snarky Palin remarks directed at John McCain, and her feelings towards Black people, and if she ever mentions her loss in a beauty contest to a Black girl.

i'm wondering it will just come out in coloring book format.

The coloring book format will be a special edition for all of Palin's worshippers.

The other version will actually have words in it!

yeah, but they'll probably rhyme, and be monosyllabic. Dr. Seuss: winning!

I'm kind of enjoying this little turn of events. (I'm a small, small person. I admit it.)

Katie Couric is writing the forward to his book.

[jaschem1]

09:28 PM on 04/26/2011

That will just kill Sarah.

[ywcachieve]

02:00 PM on 04/27/2011

..more so if Kathy Griffin wrote the forward.

Yet another pop culture person famous for being an idiot. Even that being said, I still hope this book is a serious and complete black eye for S pay me

I imagine there will be lots and lots of pictures to color in.

That Levi Johnston is Sister Sarah's nemesis speaks so much about her.

I should read things more carefully...I thought it said the title was "My Life in SP's crot ch hairs."

He's doing it for himself, his son, and the country? Really?

Nah. He's doing it for the big bucks and to get back at Sarah Palin for trashing him in public.

Pull up a seat, folks, this Hatfield-McCoys saga could go on forever.

Seems like after all he's been through... and the fact he has to pay Bristol $1750/month even though she's rich and has moved his kid to Arizona... he deserves to make a few big bucks off the deal.

it would if reproductive rights were determined by bristol 'abstinence' palin.

i hope levi makes a bundle of cash and bristol's lawyer can stand by to receive the check for back / future child support

[jaschem1]

You can bet Bristol will have her hand out for a chunk of it even though she is thousands of miles away with his baby making it hard to see him.
I hope she spends that money on her new boyfriend who is living in Arizona with her. Did he quit his Alaska job and she is supporting him?
