Levi Johnston: He & Bristol Palin Must Mature Before Hitching

After confirming that he and fiancee (and the mother of his son) Bristol Palin, daughter of Alaska governor Sarah Palin, had broken up, Levi Johnston is appearing on Good Morning America today. The new father (son Tripp was born in December) claims they broke up a week ago and suggested it's not over, "We'll just remain friends for now. We're both cool with that decision, and we'll see... We were just, we were in a fight. And trying to see if we can make things work. But this is what it kind of ended up turning into... It's just us not, me not being mature enough, or something, and having a kid and thinking ... it could be better -- better for us to separate for a while." Spoken like a 19-year-old! As for Bristol, she took her mom's place at a state mini golf event while the Governor was helping a Girl Scout troop sell cookies (the troop was robbed!) at a supermarket. Palin, with kids Willow, Piper and Trig plus grandson Tripp in tow, told People that her 18-year-old daughter was doing great.

does anyone care about this? C'mon Gothamist, you're better than that.

No... no they're not.

I can't wait to read the press report on the Malia Obama's sexual escapades in a few years!

BTW... What does this have to do with NYC?

"Why are you guy at like, the Gas & Sip on a Friday night, with no women anywhere?"

"By choice, man."

Spirit of 76

Yeah, get back to him when he's good and mature. As in balding, potbellied 40-something.

That is giving academia way too much credit.

US Universities now are pretty much on par with High school back in the 60s.

Agreed. The B.A. is the new GED, an M.A./M.S. is the new B.A./B.S, a PhD is the new M.A., and the MBA or JD is the new line of Charmin toilet paper. Only MDs have maintained their status; of course, all MDs are from India these days anyway.

dude sounds more like a 12 year old girl than a 19 yr old. I think most 19 yr olds are juniors in college and would have learned how to speak by now, especially someone who's been around sarah palin.

This rag reads more and more like USA Today.

Let me know when the Clampetts strike oil. Until then, I don't care what raccoon they're having for lunch.

Genius!

fornication is the preaching of the Gothamist now?

Mr Mel

I was shouting "Free Levi" months ago. The shotgun wedding is off and he can go back to 711 and hang with his boys.

Oh and by crib, I mean a baby's crib... because the guy is still a dad, whether or not he has left his baby mama.

VanessaNYC

Is there a crib outside 7-11, or something?

jchez

Is there an NY link to this story?

Son of Spam

I don't know how Gothamist readers can be so obtuse sometimes. There is an obvious link:

A) Bristol Palin's sister is named "Willow"

B) There are willow trees that grow in Central Park.

Come on now, people, get it together!
