Bike Lane Repainters: "We're Self-Hating Jewish Hipsters"
Remember how last week a reporter told Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandson, that Palin had declined to "trash" him during her interview taping with Oprah Winfrey? And Johnston remarked, "She's being smart. She knows what I got on her."? Well, that interview finally aired today, and it turns out Palin totally did trash him! So can we please get what he has on her now?
When asked by Oprah what she thought of Johnston's photo shoot for Playgirl, Palin said, "I call that porn, yes. So it’s a bit heartbreaking to see the road that he's on right now. By the way, I don't know if we call him Levi—I hear he goes by the name ‘Ricky Hollywood’ now—so, if that’s the case, we don’t want to mess up this gig he's got going. Kind of this aspiring, aspiring porn—the things that he's doing. It's kind of heartbreaking." OH! You gonna take that Levi? Or are you going to expose Palin's surprise fifth "pregnancy" as a conspiracy to cover up her 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy? (Seriously, Ricky Levi; email us at tips(at)Gothamist(dot)com!)
Palin's appearance on Oprah was timed with the release of her autobiography, Going Rogue, which the Times describes as "part cagey spin, part earnest autobiography, part payback hit job... All in all Ms. Palin emerges from Going Rogue as an eager player in the blame game, ungrateful to the McCain campaign for putting her on the national stage. As for the McCain campaign, it often feels like a desperate and cynical operation, willing to make a risky Hail Mary pass to try to score a tactical win, instead of making a considered judgment as to who might be genuinely qualified to sit a heartbeat away from the Oval Office."
If you're stuck at work now and didn't TiVo Palin's Oprah appearance, it will be rebroadcast at 1:05 a.m. on Channel 7!

what a fame whore.
I know there's something very wrong with me as I would like to trade some of my fame for her services, if I can keep my socks on.
Dear Mr. Signore,
Sarah Palin did not "SLAM" Levi as you spun in your headline, but actually invited him to her family Thanksgiving dinner!!! Did you watch the interview? Guess not. The sad state of journalism and the double standard rears it's head again. Did Katie Couric ask any Democratic candidates what magazines & newspapers they read? I don't remember that interview...
Sincerely,
An Independent
welcome, it's a blog. and you're no independent.
Because the other candidates didn't say crazy stuff such as their foreign policy experience because of their state's proximity to Russia. I'm surprise Couric didn't ask Palin -" IF SHE CAN READ?".
Really? She invited Levi to Thanksgiving dinner? I guess she can't get enough of the sausage stuffing.
"Did Katie Couric ask any Democratic candidates what magazines & newspapers they read?"
Of course not, because there was no reason to. Being a good (well, halfway decent anyway) journalist she knew better than to ask other candidates a question that would just bring boring, routine responses.
There was no story to be had in asking other candidates that question. There obviously was one found when she asked Palin.
Uhhh... how do I say this? The other candidates all have actually WRITTEN BOOKS!!!!
Palin's only problem is that she supported McCain, who, like Obama, wanted to continue Bush's policies.
No... she did not invite Levi to dinner. She said that it was a good question, and talked about how good it would be if he did come, bit she did not ask him to dinner. Projecting things like this onto her is one of the reasons that some people actually believe that she is anything but a fame-grubbing mediocrity.
Whoaa, Sommelier just uncorked another bottle of whuppass!
You are WRONG Sommelier. Palin DID invite Levi to her Aunt's dinner in Washington. It was in the damn interview, which you'd know if you watched it. (Yes, I watched it, and no I'm not a Republican) so stop your lying.
However, Palin DID NOT say there were 57 states in America & she didn't say that the "P" in P/E stands for Profit, nor did she say "Let me eat my waffle" when asked about an important middle east issue. I think Couric should have asked the other candidates what they read.
Then again.... Who cares?
Great job spreading misinformation "Mr. Independant"
The new memoir doesn't contain any references to Johnston but she told Oprah that she continues "to hope for the best and to pray for Levi." She did not, however, invite Johnston to Thanksgiving.
There is an "open invitation for Levi to come to Aunt Katie's house for Thanksgiving dinner in Washington," she said in an apparent reference to Couric, whom she called "the perky one."

Savagely pwned.
The ghostwriter for Palin's book is an evangelical magazine editor with anti-gay history who authored such books as "Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party". Google Lynn Vincent.
"Ricky Hollywood"??????
any relation to Dr. Detroit?
Someone please get the hook out for this dumb bitch.
Why does anyone care what she says?
Who the fuck cares? Does this have anything to do with New York?
Palin's appearance on Oprah was timed with the release of her autobiography, Going Rouge
The word you're looking for is Rogue.
Going Rouge, in fact, is the name of a different book about Palin. Also due out tomorrow, it was written by Richard Kim and Betsy Reed of The Nation magazine.
Then there's this one: http://www.goingrouge.net/
"Who the fuck cares? Does this have anything to do with New York?"
Does it? Doesn't it? Who the fuck cares?
sarah - meet oreo.......
I hope she's the 2012 GOP nominee, then the country will elect Mayor Bloomberg as president and we'll be on our way to prosperity.
Bloomie's way too short, he'll never win the presidency. Well, unless they put him against Palin. That would be the only thing that would make his height not matter anymore...
Doesn't she realize that Levi is a monster that she created? They slapped a suit on him, dragged him to the GOP convention to play proud, engaged, poppa to be (family values!). Had they just left him in Wasilla, no one would pay him nearly as much attention.
It's so cute how she uses her family as political props and then gets all pouty when people treat them as such.
Hey John. Will you review next issue of "Playgirl"? Isn't Levi hot?
Who gets their own reality show first...Sarah or Levi?
Pot, meet kettle....
Pathetic. Levi is a joke.
Levy is way more decent than Palin: he's a truthful whore.

Consider the items that have been accumulating since Obama announced on Feb. 10:
• Marking the anniversary of the March 1965 "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, Ala., Obama, speaking at a church, said his parents got together "because of what happened in Selma." Obama was born in 1961.
• Obama told Larry King on CNN -- asked about that anti-Hillary Rodham Clinton YouTube ad, a doctored version of a spot created for Apple computers -- "We don't have the technical capacity to create something like that."
Obama did not know what he was talking about. Any professional media consultant can manipulate images on video. Turns out the creator -- unmasked last week as a political operative who worked for a firm overseeing the technical side of Obama's Web site -- made it at home on a Mac.
• Obama, asked if homosexuality was immoral, in the wake of comments by Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Peter Pace, sidestepped the question. After pressure from gay groups, Obama issued a statement stating he did not agree with Pace "that homosexuality is immoral."
Cynicism is like terrorism?
• One of Obama's stump lines is that the biggest obstacle he fights is not any of his rivals, it is cynicism. He used a variation of it during a reception he hosted at a conference here sponsored by AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Displaying a tin ear, Obama said that one of the enemies is not "just terrorists" or "just Hezbollah" or "just Hamas" -- "it's also cynicism."
• The Tribune dug this up: Obama, in his memoir, Dreams of My Father, writes of a story in Life magazine that influenced him -- about a black man trying to bleach his skin white. No such article could be found in Life or Ebony.
Insider or outsider?
• Another Obama stump line -- he said it again Tuesday morning to the Communications Workers of America here -- is that "I've been long enough in Washington to know that Washington needs to change." He is running against Washington yet his campaign is populated with political professionals who are Washington insiders.
• Obama's embrace of some rhetoric used by rival John Edwards is getting attention. Edwards, in a 2003 speech made for his first presidential run said, "I've spent enough time in Washington to know how much we need to change Washington."
oh boy that sure is damning right there
. . .
OBAMA DOESNT KNOW HOW TO USE FINAL CUT! WHAT A DICK! LOL!
despite all the above and how "horrible" it makes Obama seem, we have to look at what the other options were: John McWarmonger and Sarah "The Pitbull" Palin.
Problem with this country is we don't have a viable third party opposition. It's time we evolved one...
uh? what a waste of time for such EMPTY comment!
Republicans and their love for finding meaning in all that is meaningless, and ignoring by choice what it is important.
