Levi Johnston Speaks!

A month after VP candidate Sarah Palin announced her daughter was pregnant, the baby's father is speaking to the media elite--the AP reporter outside his house. Levi Johnston, 18, who dropped out of high school to become an apprentice electrician, said he and Bristol Palin, 17, "both love each other" and weren't pressured, "We were planning on getting married a long time ago with or without the kid. That was the plan from the start." Also, Palin fans can send blue booties with rifles on them: "I'm looking forward to having him. I'm going to take him hunting and fishing." And while Johnston said Barack Obama "seems like a good guy. I like him," he's rooting for John McCain and Palin: "I just hope she wins. She's my future mother-in-law. She better win."

It's the new Aland Peg Bundy.

Levi is like the Lifetime Movie bad boyfriend character.

The guy's a sappy sperm-donor. Bristol will dump him by her sixth year at community college in favor of a local furniture store owner with a fetish for stilletto heels and caribou jerky.

Spew the hate neo-lib hipsters. You have your marching orders from Gothamist.

"We were planning on getting married a long time ago."

Um, you're 18. so, what, a long time ago when you were...12?

Palin knows what this means:

Grandkid will have Levi's genes.

LEVI'S FUTURE

Once Palin goes down

In defeat

The boy won't be feeling

Any heat.

And then he can

Do what he wants

Despite Sarah's

Screechy rants.

Though she calls him

A friggin' fourflusher

He'll flee to neighboring

Mother Russia.

I believe marriage is an institution best reserved for two unwilling teenagers. You betcha!

Mr Mel

McCain to Palin after she told him Bristol is pregnant: "That's impossible, she's not married."

Dude69 - excellent trolling - do you 69 your mother with that mouth?

He looks like Ray Liotta when he did Goodfellas.

the kid is not my son

#19 - that's on par with republican values. It's always do as I say, not as I do with them.

If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much.

Dude69 doesn't usually get this many bites. Good show.

Dude69,

What part of "Traditional Family Values" endorses pre-marital sex and pregnancy out of wedlock? These people cant even get their children to be committed enough to finish public high school ( how hard can that be in Wasala, Alaska?) as they are BOTH high school drop outs. How long of a commitment do you think dear Levi is going to make to giving up the party life of an 18 year old self described "Redneck" for the grueling life of supporting a wife and new born on the salary of someone without even a high school diploma? Is divorcing your teen bride and baby mama a "Traditional Family Value"?

Mrs. Palin has done such a stellar job of raising her daughter....lets give her Nuclear codes and and an economy that even Princeton scholars can not figure out.
