Wahh…he said mean stuff about Sarah…wahh…what a mean old liar. Please. You know damn well everything he says is true. None of it sounds made up. It’s too mundane. She doesn’t cook. She calls her kid “retarded” (I have no doubt she does), she knew he was porking Bristol. It’s not like he’s coming up with Mackenzie Philips level shockers or anything. If he was just going to fabricate shit, he could do better than that. She’s the one who makes herself look like a childish, vindicative tool every time she attacks him (“selling his body” makes him a liar? Give me a break. Classic deflection). And HE’S just out to promote himself? What is Sarah doing? She walked out on her job to shill a book and be on TV. It’s not even like she’s ever accomplished anything more than Levy has. I hope he changes his mind about “hurting her.” I have a feeling that Bristol or one of her other kids will make some revelations sooner or later, and Sarah will turn like a snake on them too. ---

> [@DiosaBellissima](#): > > If I had older kids from a white guy and a baby from a black man, I don’t think I’d come in the door after a long day at work and say, “Where’s my little black baby?” It’s not that the phrase itself is wrong, just that the usage would be odd. Well, there were two babies in the house. And I refer to my “black baby’s mama” all the time to distinguish her from my “lesbian baby mama” or my “Native American-autistic-swimwear model-incontinent baby mama” (since she prefers that to her real name of Leaky Waters Standoff Woman). [QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] She’s the one who makes herself look like a childish, vindicative tool every time she attacks him (“selling his body” makes him a liar? Give me a break.

It’s not like Bristol had a kid with Johnny Depp- the only thing Levi’s famous for is his proximity to Palin, hence his press is her press and no such thing as bad press (so long as it doesn’t involve her clubbing third world kids or kicking puppies). ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > My favorite Levi moment was when he was lambasting Bristol and Sarah for not letting him see his kid or be more of a father and a caller asked “How much do you pay in child support?” His response was to the effect of “ahem… ah… haw…well… you know… I do what I can… they haven’t asked… uh… how bout those Lakers?” Then I think he jumped up and down and drug Katie Holmes on stage to proclaim his love, or I may be thinking of something else. How much is Bristol paying? ---

Is the American public so gullible and dumb to believe this story or anything coming from this 20 year sperm donor?. The only thing this guy did was get Sara Pallin’s daughter pregnant. Sarah Pallin on the other hand has a lifetime of real achievements, plus she is now a millionairess. Levi Johnston actually doesn’t realize that he is being used by the media during his 15 minutes of so-called fame. He is so dumb that he actually thinks that by posing naked for Playgirl magazine he will be the sweetheart of every woman in America. The readership of Playgirl magazine is 90% gay men. Not only that, photos of his naked behind will now be used by every porno site on the internet and it is the web site that will be getting paid --not Levi Johnston. Even when Kathy Griffin took him to the Teen Awards Show last year, no one knew who he was, nor cared. The Palins were good enough to take this slug of guy into their household because his own family didn’t want him. For him to come out with a pack of fabricated lies is just hurtful and a slap in the face. I hope Levi knows that any money he gets from Playgirl, most will go to his newborn baby for support. Hold on to your remaining pennies Levi. Levi has 7 more minutes on his fame chart. ---

OK, I’m calling it here: It was Levi that Sarah had the affair with. A man and a woman couldn’t possibly be that spiteful towards one another without having had a sexual history. 😃 ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > It’s not even like she’s ever accomplished anything more than Levy has. To be fair, she’s been much more successful at bullshitting people. And yeah, he’s probably telling the truth about the retarded thing. But my question is still the same: so what? This whole thing is so high school. She’s a phony, she’s shallow, the list of her faults goes on and on, but he’s a parasite who has no positive qualities on his own, so he dishes about the popular kids to get attention. The truth is that these two deserve each other. And they should both appear in a national commercial testifying about why shotgun engagements are a bad idea. ---

> [@wierdaaron](#): > > [Bristol Palin joins teen abstinence campaign](http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/features_momsatwork/2009/05/bristol-palin-joins-teen-abstinence-campaign.html) So because Bristol joined an abstinence campaign, we should conclude that Wasilla schools teach100% abstinence-only sex education? I don’t think that logically follows. ---

Sarah taught her abstenence only, regardless of what the schools taught her. And it’s obviously hypocritical for a chick who got knocked up in high school by practicing abstinence to go around preaching it. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Sarah taught her abstenence only, regardless of what the schools taught her. Which still demonstrates that she did not receive “abstinence-only” education. One might disagree on the faults and merits of abstinence-only teaching, but her pregnancy cannot be logically blamed on the abstinence message. I guess the next time that a teenager gets pregnant despite condom-based teaching, we should proclaim “See! Condoms don’t work! So there!” > [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > And it’s obviously hypocritical for a chick who got knocked up in high school by practicing abstinence to go around preaching it. She did NOT practice abstinence. How do I know this? I can explain it in scientific terms if you’d like. But for the sake of argument, let’s suppose that she did get pregnant despite abstinence. There’s nothing hypocritical about making a mistake, realizing it, then warning other people not to make the same error. Using your logic, no repentant criminal has any business warning young folks not to tread down his path, lest **Diogenes** label him to be a hypocrite. ---

If she got knocked up while _practicing_ abstinence she should start a new religion. Though I’m not sure who Levi would be in it. ETA: [QUOTE=JThunder] She did NOT practice abstinence. How do I know this? I can explain it in scientific terms if you’d like. [/QUOTE] If she didn’t practice it why does she preach it? Plus didn’t she say in an interview (until her mother walked into the room) that she regrets being a mother so young? That would seem to indicate she would be pro birth control, or that she can’t talk while Sarah’s drinking water. ---

> [@Sampiro](#): > > If she got knocked up while _practicing_ abstinence she should start a new religion. Though I’m not sure who Levi would be in it. Right. That’s exactly why I disagree with **Dio** ’s claim that Bristol was abstinent. She wasn’t, and I can prove it. > [@](#): > > If she didn’t practice it why does she preach it? Possibly for the same reason that parents counsel their children not to make the same mistakes that they did. She obviously did not practice abstinence, but I don’t see why this should prohibit from candidly telling people that she screwed up big time. Some people here seem to think that if you’ve committed some misdeed, you have any business admitting that you acted foolishly. I wonder how these people would respond if a former drunk driver were to go around telling people how grievously wrong his actions were. Would they also say, “You hypocrite! You used to drink and drive, and now you’re telling kids not to do that? What a two-faced son of a bitch you are!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/levi-johnston-spills-his-guts-on-sarah-palin-in-interview/508697.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/levi-johnston-spills-his-guts-on-sarah-palin-in-interview/508697.md?page=6)
