Bristol Palin's "baby daddy" is going to the convention!

The boyfriend of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's unwed, pregnant daughter will join the family of the Republican vice presidential candidate at the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn.

Levi Johnston's mother said her 18-year-old son left Alaska this morning to join the Palin family at the convention where Sen. John McCain will officially receive the Republican nomination for president. The boy's mother, Sherry Johnston, said there had been no pressure put on her son to marry 17-year-old Bristol Palin and the two teens had made plans to wed before it was known she was pregnant.

"This is just a bonus," Johnston said.

Damn this just keeps getting better and better!

So let me get this straight. We are supposed to respect the privacy of the Palin family. But they keep thrusting Sarah/Bristol's baby Trig, with down syndrome, in our face. They pose for pictures with the whole Palin/McCain family (With Bristol always relegated to the murky darkness of the background). And now they are bringing Bristol's redneck inseminator into the fray.

I am sorry if I am not respecting your privacy Governor Sarah, but you started it!

Here is my favorite quite from the ADN article.

"This is out of my league," Sherry Johnston said. "I'm just a country gal, and I want to keep it that way."

She spoke today while standing in the driveway leading to her pale gray, two-story home on a densely wooded country lane. The home, like many in Alaska, is adorned with moose and caribou antlers outside.

And THAT boys and girls is why I live in Anchorage. We actually have some class. Not a whole hell of a lot, but some.

Update: Okay so it suddenly dawns on me why they are flying Levi to the convention.

They don't trust his ass! They are terrified the kid will spill the beans to one of those reporters camped out at the end of his driveway. They are going to keep him close and away from the news media until they can get their new lies all ready for national consumption.

They simply do not yet realize that their cause is lost.
