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!
