Levi is not done yet.
Well this is interesting because in the Early Show interview Levi seemed to be saying that the secrets he knows will probably never come out and in this one he says that "at some point they COULD come out".
I do know some of what Levi knows and I really hope that he is going to start talking soon. He is not the ONLY source but he is a very believable one.
The rest of this interview will be on ET later this evening and I will embed it when it becomes available.

Bree has written about the ET interview. Part 2 of the interview will be on ET on Friday
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt that Levi is telling the truth. Good for him for coming out against her lies. He is not afraid of standing up for himself, and he certainly isn't afraid of any of her possibly and very likely intimidating him.
ReplyDeleteSarah is very likely on her tippy toes!
Someone had mentioned in one of the previous comment sections that Levi should just be subpoenaed and made to talk; I have to wonder if that's not exactly what his plan is.
ReplyDeleteHe has implied on several occasions that he's sitting on something that would be devastating to $P. There have been 'rumors' (that almost got Shannyn sued!) that $P is being investigated (although not clear who is investigating what ... so many choices!); I believe that at the point when whatever agency is doing an investigation is ready that they will be serving a subpoena on Levi to get this information. And unlike the State workers who defied their subpoenas in Troopergate, Levi will be free (actually, compelled) to talk.
Disclaimer: this is just speculation on my part.
He's building up the suspense.
ReplyDeleteHe may be waiting to see what Scarah writes before he goes public.
He was more relaxed on ET.
I hope that Shannyn can get him on her show for a friendly chat. She could let him talk about his latest hunting trip or something. Just to get him used to media appearances. It might even "progress" things.
Arghhhhhh...as someone from the lower 48 I am beginning to find this shaggy dog story annoying. Levi is looking a bit smug...cute but dumb...and the whole thing is looking like reality tv. Many of us became interested in Alaskan politics because of the fear of Palin as VP. You guys need to step up to the plate. We did for you & now you should for us.
ReplyDeletePS Levi is a kid. I don't give a shit what Palin has on him. He was probably underage anyway. What he has on her is significant & could help this country.
PPS Tank & Butler need to get a life & stop feeding off of Levi. It's starting to be bad news.
PPSS Think posing nude at 19 is a real bad idea!!
PPPSS Not liking Tank & Rex's MOA.
MSNBC
ReplyDeleteSARAH PAYLIN...love it
Just look at his face. He is sitting in the catbird seat. He knows that she knows, that she is sweating bullets and he is just lovin' it. I can't wait for him to let it go. This is gunna be good.
ReplyDeleteThis is for juju from another thread. Re: the weird Althouse piece on pity Levi.
ReplyDeletejuju,
I'm worried about Levi Johnston
"What became of that wandering soul after he was exiled from the powerful family by the woman who had a chance to become the first female President?" wrote Ann Althouse
The Althouse article almost made me want to cry for John McCain. Was Althouse given inside private info on a plot to murder McCain if he was President?
Why is Ann Althouse saying Levi is estranged from his own child? is that from the Althouse inside information source?
Who feeds her that info?
Many of her readers can't get past laughing about genitalia, I suppose that is a step up from being stuck on fart jokes.
They are people who are banking on Levi being only a kid surrounded by people who see him as a meal ticket or chance to diminish a strong conservative Christian woman.
Levi is saying he does pay support and see his son. His goal is to share custody.
Why do Althouse commenters make those remarks about Levi not having a family? That is like Sarah going along with mocking Lyda Green sick with cancer or calling a child retard. If someone has no family that is misfortune.
Levi was homeschooled with Bristol at the Palin's house. It sounds like the Palins did take some responsibility for the teen. I'd like to hear more about what he has to say about the education he received at the Palins.
"Tripp himself becomes a lost soul, a shell of a man, who must struggle to rebuild his identity." wrote Ann Althouse
She uses Tripp in a negative, weird way. Why didn't she just leave him out of her nonsense?
Sarah Palin is one twisted mother.
ReplyDelete"She'd come in from work and she'd be like, 'Hey, where is my retarded baby,' and just something like along those lines. The kids, Bristol and them, didn't think much of it, but the first time I heard it, I was in shock, I didn't know what to say. So, but then she, it kind of became a normal thing for her to say and you know, I guess, but she'd always have a smile on her face, laughing about it."
Levi is the genuine one. Her other kids didn't think much of it, it's too late for them. They are like her.
This family of Palin is sick to the core.
DAYUM Levi is HOTTTTT!!!!
ReplyDeleteAbout 7-8 months ago, the Palins dumped Levi and it seems like he is still hurting from the way he has been treated. And, first love does not fade so quickly. He still has Bristol's name on his finger - right?
ReplyDeleteI blame Sarah Palin for all this mess. I don't know how Bristol is feeling but, Levi has been hurt and I think SP's actions/deceptions are the cause.
So, hurry up and tell the whole truth, Levi, all of it. It's the only way to end the craziness and make a new beginning.
Levi seems much more relaxed at comfortable with this male interviewer. Wonder why?
ReplyDeleteI am hoping SP says something to make Levi mad and he lets loose with the information. Write it in a book and sell it Levi.
ReplyDeleteShe didn't deny calling Trig retarded, which might indicate that there are other non-family witnesses.
ReplyDeleteI heard that the Playgirl shoot is same day as SP's Oprah gig/book release. PLEASE oh PLEASE, let every network attend the photo shoot (just a glimpse) and run it on all of the networks the day of HER book release!
ReplyDeleteEverybody is focused on 'the babygate' thing, and I think Levi is milking that for what it's worth. His carefully dropped hints are just meant to keep the rumors alive it's pretty clear to me that he isn't talking about Trig.
ReplyDeleteHe might know of something else from pillow talk with Bristol but I doubt it's about Trig being Bristols baby.
@6:04 - Because ET is hardly CBS news....Duh....
ReplyDeleteI agree with the poster above-enough is enough! This isn't a big game and Rex Butler and Tank are doing a crappy job. They are acting asbif this is a negotiation, leaking more tidbits for more money. I am sick of Palin and sickbof these games and Sarah is laughing all the way to the bank!! Levi could destiy this sick twisted women and help this country yet he's playing for more money obviously.
ReplyDeleteEnough already, tell all and bring the witch down! Do you know more Jesse? Who are the other sources? What's with the secrecy and hints? It's ridiculous already. And people are getting too much pleasure out of this sick situation.
6:51 he is talking about several issues. And babygate is one of them.
ReplyDeleteWhen you think about it, it's too early for Levi to drop the 'big stuff'. If he does, it will play out but not to the masses and be gone by the wayside. You want to make sure she doesn't throw her hat in the ring. You need that closer to the time of campaigns starting when it hurts her most. As much as you want to know, it's the timing
ReplyDeleteLevi is just getting started.
ReplyDeleteNobody has to follow this that doesn't want. Free choice. Go away if you need that.
I am not expecting Levi to break baby gate. That will happen with or without him.
Go Team Levi with what you have!
Levi is hot! If it is only the Playgirl shoot, I'll keep watching and listening to what he has to say.
Althouse needs to check facts or is she just nuts?
ReplyDeleteI disagree with people wanting Levi to spill the beans. I, too, am under suspense. However, there are always many layers to this kind of stuff. And hsving a strategy is important, or outcomes can either backfire or not be totally justified. Let Rex Butler play chess with this. We do not know all the nuances or agendas.
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:10
ReplyDeleteI think he is cleverly making it sound as if he is, just enough of the right buzzwords to keep the story alive, to those who want to hear that.
Don't get me wrong here, I would love for Sarah to get caught in this massive hoax ... but I don't get anything from what Levi says to substantiate that.
There definitely is something weird about that kid's birth though.
OMG I was watching showbiz tonight and they had a Palin-vs-Levi clip 10/29/09 and Tamika Ray? I think that is her name; and she said "Levi has told her Palin is a liar" and that "She lied on the campaign trail when she pretended it was her son not her daughter's" May not be the exact words but i backed it up twice, WOW I just went and watched it again and that is what she say's Levi told her!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I thought the Playgirl thing was stupid, but after seeing him today, I'm thinking he might be building a real career. The guy is actually really hot, he's sitting on a goldmine, and the public could end up falling in love with the simple Levi from Alaska who brought down the Evil Jim Jones Sarah Paylin.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's actually looking good for him. I'm shocked.
I disagree with a couple of the posters, I think Rex and Tank are doing a wonderful job for Levi. Commercials, paid interviews, the Playgirl spread( I see nothing wrong with it at all). I predict that a book from Levi is being written as we blog and will be released onto book shelves before Xmas.
ReplyDeleteI think Levi should play it out as long as he needs to.remember he wants equal custody of his child and you know the palins don't want him near the child at least if they had their way.It would look bad for palin if Levi did not have access to his son and IMO that is the only reason he can still see his son.Despite what some outsiders say about the people of wasilla It seemed like a fairly close knit town,village whatever.I know when I went shopping with my sister there she would always run into people she knew..Off course everyone knew both her and her husband at any rate.I don't think people will say much about either palin or Levi except palins family and high school friends that she put in her administration,Still I would sure watch my back around that bunch.I get the idea that Levi does have some actual proof,just because of the way he smiled when he said palin would not put her cards out there.He seemed pretty sure of himself.
ReplyDeleteWhy shouldn't Levi milk baby gate? He didn't create that whole mess. He knows not everyone is going to be on his side, so what? He is doing terrific building up his career at the same time he is dealing with all the other stuff he was handed.
ReplyDeleteHe's not a fraud and he is not the one who milks all the poor suckers that send money to someone to run for POTUS, someone who can't even run for dog catcher.
Anon @ 8:16
ReplyDeleteIf you have a clip that says that, please provide a link because I find it difficult to believe this was said. It would be ALL OVER THE NEWS if this was actually reported. People would not leave this kind of thing alone. Even if they didn't believe it, they would be calling Levi a liar etc..
This is the worst CON JOB but on the American people that I have ever seen. How is she able to get away with all of this.She's doing it right in front of everybody's eye's and thumbing her nose at us. Is the IRS and or FBI just looking the other way. She really doesn't have that much power to get away with all she's done, Chaney might be able to, Gingrich, Rove too. What isn't happening that is able to bring Palin down. Maybe now with Levi putting the pressure on and Palin splitting the party in New York and Texas, Newt and Dick will bring her down. Lets hope Hoffman doesn't win or Perry
ReplyDeleteif they do this vile person- palin- will be more viscious then ever, she'll think she got them elected, all she gives to us is violence in her speaches. She's no politician, this women is pure evil, dumb but vicious. She may be money hungry but she sure has set her sight on destroying this country---WHY?
The Tamika Ray statement sounds like hearsay. Why would that be big news? Can't someone get in touch with her find out more? No the media is not going to pimp what she said, they are still playing it as if Palin is in politics.
ReplyDeleteHello. We spend our time on allthings Sarah and Levi. Many things get unnoticed. These people want our attention when our attention is best spent else where. We dont all have to spend 24/7 watching the Sarah saga. There is much work to do. Dont worry you wont miss a thing. There is Gryphen and Bree and Godsownparty and Shannyn and Mudflats. So go and get your word out. Others need help.
ReplyDeleteThere is much to learn.
And remember dont pissoff the dragon, as you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.
i wish levi wasn't doing "playgirl".
ReplyDeletehave you been to their site (it only exists online today, no print mag)? it's straight porn, complete with a video section. i have nothing against porn itself, but i don't see how this could do anything other than lessen any credibility he has. heck, even chelsea handler has noticed this enough to ridicule "tank" for his name and mock levi for having such a "manager".
it's one thing to pose naked because you love your body and are a model or a celeb (or actual porn star), but levi doing it just comes off as attention-seeking and cash-grabbing. too bad. i know his "baby-maker" is the total source of his fame, but does he really need to show it to us?
CNN is Faux News Lite - they were very harsh on Levi's CBS interview. Showbiz Tonight on HLN had nothing new and nothing intelligent to say, they just made fun of the 19-year-old kid who's obviously hurting and took Palin's side:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/showbiz/2009/10/29/sbt.levi.slams.sarah.palin.cnn
It is certainly frustrating having hints dropped but no real facts from Levi - but rather than let it get to me I take a break when I need too, and take a few steps back and a lot of deep breaths.
ReplyDeleteI definitely want Sarah Palin out of politics and out of the public eye and discredited in every way so her hate speech and sway with the people who blindly follow her can finally end. But it is going to happen when it happens - and there are a lot of people behind the scenes to make it happen eventually.
Levi is either holding the goods and going to reveal them in his own time or not - whether for timing reasons, or for his own reasons to meet his goals, or a combination of reasons for when and if anything significant is revealed - no amount of nail biting or ranting will change that time table. Levi has a right to earn a living. He's not conning innocent hard working folks out of their money like Sarah Paylin is. He's getting work - ads, Playgirl, etc. - nothing wrong with earning a living and walking through that door when opportunity knocks. This situation was created by Sarah Paylin - she used him - so if he wants to earn a living because of it I think he should go for it as far as it will take him.
The more I think about it - I'm beginning to think Bristol is not Trig's birth mother. It suits Sarah Paylin to let that rumor still linger (she could end that rumor easily enough with birth certificate documents or allowing a doctor to reveal the truth), because she still comes out looking good for trying to protect her daughter and the whole birth story is one that no big news person is going to touch with a ten foot pole.
The truth could be something else - perhaps Trig is her sons, or perhaps Sarah Palin did give birth to Trig but the birth father is not Todd - but I'm guessing the truth is most likely something much more embarrassing than trying to protect your daughter's reputation.
I'm also positive there has to be a lot more dirt about who built the house, per diam payments, Todd's involvement in government affairs, tax issues, or a who knows what else that could be criminal, unethical and would ruin her more the personal life issues (since the personal things can all be forgiven by her blind followers - since they love to forgive their heroes as long as they cry, and fake being sincere when they admit to weakness or lapse in judgment). It will take a rock solid criminal or ethics cases to get Sarah Palin stripped of her sainthood and halo.
I wonder what the statue of limitations are for criminal charages for things she may have done in office - I think I heard some where that there is a 2 year limit for bringing ethics charges. I just hope it all comes out so that she will have to held accountable for not actions and not embarrased.
In the meantime, I hope all the kids grow up healthy and happy. I hope Levi invests most of his earnings for his future and for his son's future and doesn't just waste it.
He is building up the curiosity so that when it's announced he's dropping the bomb we'll all be there watching (ratings rule). Plus, there is likely a teaser plan for the buildup, otherwise why all the interviews with no new details? Maybe they'll be in Playgirl? Wouldn't that just set miss prissy off!
ReplyDeleteI think Playgirl is good for Levi, they say gay men are totally hot for him. What better for a modeling career than Calvin Kline knowing your centerfold hangs in the bedroom of gay men (who, let's face it, generally dress better than straight dudes!).
Go Levi. Tell all. Make some cash, buy a place for you and your son. Let the Palins sink. Byeee!
Levi wont have to expose anything. What he knows probably makes baby-gate seem like baby stuff.Let the feds do their thing in due time...
ReplyDeleteThere are a few things that Levi may have to balance before he can tell everything he knows, most of it is legal stuff so I hope he is getting good advice from Rex.
ReplyDeleteLevi's mother is still in prison with an appointed state commissioner of prisons still in place who was appointed by Palin and a Palin high school lover/follower. In my state all prisoners must have the sign off from the commissioner before being released. Imagine the behind the scenes talk that is going on about that? Levi might not say anything until after she is released.
Murdock has been promoting and has spent a lot of money on Palin - he is not going to let a 19 year old derail his investment. It is a classic he said / she said - who are you going to believe? I would think that Levi would have to wait until the book is published and on the shelves before saying what he knows. I would think that Murdock has power lawyers ready to pounce if Levi says the wrong thing that Murdock could point to that might deminish sales. Unfortunately Levi is only increasing sales with his interviews and drip, drip, drip of info.
And then there is the legal stuff between the doctor's letter of T1 birth, the church, the fire that distroyed the paperwork at the church, maybe T1 is Toad's with another woman, financial disclosures or lack of on her various funds, missing state money from the dairy farm, oil trust funds that have gone missing, illegal land swaps between family members, shaddy deals between business partners and the affairs ... it goes on and on and on. Why does she get away with sooooo much crap??? AND she is getting millions - millions of dollars for HER story. Unbelievable!!!
@luna, 11:25 - Not Chelsea Handler making fun of Levi for PLAYGIRL? No! I mean, she is such a fountain of propriety, since she is on the cover of PLAYBOY for the holidays....
ReplyDeletePoor Bristol! I can't imagine any outcome of this situation that will be good for her. Her mother has poisoned her and all her siblings. All the confusion and craziness this teenage girl has endured has been blatantly caused by her mother. Bristol could be in therapy for the next 20 years and never attain a healthy outlook.
ReplyDeleteAnd what about that doofus Levi? Why he acts as if he still cares about Bristol. As if he might even be trying to protect her. He's even trying to earn money to provide for their son! What a strange young man he is.
But not quite as strange as the people who clamor at him to be the savior of all Alaska and the USA. What would you have this teenager do, people? Put on a bullet-proof vest and ride out to Lake Lucille? How and when will his mother be released from the penal system that's run by one of Sarah's ex-boyfriends? How can his sister pay rent and buy groceries?
This situation is horrible. And Sarah Palin is the catalyst. I'm not 100% sure that she and her ego are the seed: maybe she was molested as a child. That would explain a lot. grammy
My attitude is. Levi has the goods on Sarah. He was deeply hurt in how he was used, then discarded and trashed. Does want connection with his son. Did care for Bristol, and still isn't ready to throw her under the bus.
ReplyDeleteLet him do what he feels he has to do.
He should be be called up for testimony in a grand jury, and must then legally tell all he knows about the sleazy details of S'arahs life. Not her personal morals, her use of her position to enrich herself illegably.
Her book deal? That is her money. The money collected with a begging bowl, well, I don't know what can be done about that. If people are stupid enough to send her hard earned money they need themselves, that pure stupidity on their part.
Diverting it for Trig (TRIsomy-G) a downs child, and her and toads old age. A supposed Charity. WELL, that could be fraud when it happened, I don't know, I'm not a lawyer. They would have to prove that is what she intends, and I don't see how they can.
Levi will come out of this vindicated, unless some nutcase of S'arahs cult following tries to off him. They are whacko.
Rex Bulter is not a charity and Tank is not being a bodyguard pro-bono.
ReplyDeleteWhat Levi knows is worth money somehow and there isn't much the public cares about except gossip so they must be leveraging babygate.
I see no other reason.
I suspect, from Tamika Ray's comments about Sarah knowing that Bristol and Levi couldn't stand each other during the campaign, but putting them up there like a happy family anyway, that...
ReplyDeleteT1 is Bristol and Levi's child.
T2 is Bristol and unknown (to us) daddy's child
If Bristol was pregnant with Levi's child during the election, don't you think they would be somewhat in love with each other?
If Sarah had already covered up one pregnancy, don't you think she would be desperate to put a "decent" face on her 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy by presenting the father as someone who had dated her daughter for years and was planning on marrying?
It would be pretty easy to bully Levi into playing the "daddy" role - especially with the legal trouble his mom was in.
Just my thoughts...a lot of things fall into place with this scenario.
Kristen
After this clip, I know Levi will at some point come out with the truth. He seemed much more confident; I loved the twinkle in his eye. This evil woman is going to be taken down and not allowed to destroy the country and that is all I really care about. Levi has a lot on his 19 year old shoulders with supporting his son and his own family. He didn't ask for any of this. He was dragged on to the national scene for political purposes only. He he is decent kid, and again I don't understand what is wrong with Bristol. But then I guess if you are Sarah Palin's daughter and grew up in that extremely dysfunctional household it probably is hard to think clearly and rationally. I feel sorry for all those kids. Can't wait for part two on ET.
ReplyDeleteTranscript from last night's Showbiz Tonight. Scroll down about 2/3rds of the way and you will see:
ReplyDelete"HAMMER: Tanika Ray, here is the most important question of all. If you had the opportunity to either be in the audience for that taping of the "Oprah Winfrey Show" with Sarah Palin or be on hand for the nude "Playgirl" shoot with Levi Johnston, where are you going to be, Tanika Ray?
RAY: I`m going to be slitting my wrist. That`s what I`m going to be doing. Let`s be really honest. One thing that Levi is not is a liar. He`s not smart enough to figure out how to lie.
The guy told me straight up that Sarah Palin is a liar. He has no reason to gain from saying that she`s lying about the things that she did during the race, like when she pretended like it was her son and not her daughter`s, when she had him there and pretended like they were a happy family.
HAMMER: So you`re buying it.
RAY: He said the whole time she was lying and knew that they couldn`t stand each other ...
HAMMER: I`ve got to end it there.
RAY: ... and that they could be together anymore. So Levi, not smart, but not a liar.
HAMMER: All right. Tanika Ray, Kim Serafin, appreciate it, guys. "
I just said over on Bree: that T2 baby looks NOTHING like Levi. However, T1 does, even despite the Downs eyes. T1's coloring and the shape of his face. Look at T2 in those state fair photos; I see no resemblance at all to Levi. None.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, in the real world, rather than THIS cyber-wormhole, even die-hards on the left in the Bay area are paying attention to something other than Levi and his ten-cents-a-dance exhibitionistic mewntality:
ReplyDelete"The conservative grassroots have rejected Scozzava, the party's official candidate in New York's 23rd. It started out with the base in the district as conservatives gathered around businessman Doug Hoffman and that rebellion has now gone national. Sarah Palin, using her unique sense of timing, one week ago became the biggest name of in-prime party leaders to endorse Hoffman.
Had she stayed on the sidelines, this contest could have played out in predictable fashion: Republicans stayed split and Democrat Bill Owens would have cruised to victory. Instead, by all appearances, the conservative revolt has succeeded. Even the national GOP -- which had endorsed Scozzafava and was slamming outsider Hoffman as much as Democrat Owens -- is now recognizing that district voters seem to flocking to Hoffman."
Yes, I know this means nothing to you. Palin possibly single-handedly turning around an election an making Romney and Gingrich look timid
is of little consequence, because, of course, the arbiter of what will be are the words of an embittered kid and expense accounts.
You would think in a state that has historically drawn masses to it for oil or gold that the term "dry hole" would mean something--as in, if your prospecting for gold or drilling for oil you don't keep digging in the same place when it becomes apparent there's nothing of consequence to be found there.
That, I suppose is a luxury afforded to people who can watch the drama from the sidelines and who don't have to take any real hits.
If Levi gets naked in Playgirl, I bet Sarah is the first one in the family to peek at his photo unless of course she has already seen it. Then her anger may reflect a woman scorned.
ReplyDelete@8:18 - why are you so concerned with what we think if we are so irrelevant? Nothing you post here EVER comes true, so when Hoffman is defeated, I won't be surprised. Remember when you said that Sarah Palin was going to be so spiffy and terrific in HK? You were soooo right about that, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, man, this is priceless. The kid has NOTHING to gain by lying. What freaking alternate universe do these people inhabit?
ReplyDeleteIt should be obvious, by now, that indifferent to the truth or falsity of a statement, the object of those statements--if a figure of international prominence--has much to gain.
Believe what you will, this kid is jobbing you and whatever smarts he has are being honed to the max by a second-rate lawyer.
It's not hard.
EVERY day in court you see witnesses who have been carefully prepped by counsel purger themselves for all kinds of reasons and invariably...
inevitably, if it can be demonstrated the witness can gain financially by
his or her testimony, juries give the testimony little if any credence.
At the same time, in the real world the innocent are the victim of lies that go undetected for decades and Tanika Ray purports with laughable, jawdropping ignorance that Levi Johnston has NOTHING to gain from deception. He's on her show for Christ's sake instead of tossing down beers after a pickup hockey game.
in court, even
Anon at 8:18 ... Where are you getting your info? Cite your source that Hoffman is ahead.
ReplyDeleteRe: @ 8:18:
ReplyDeleteTHE NEW YORK TIMES, September 18th:
The New York Times. Can your atrophied frontal lobe apprehend the significance that this paper is among the most anti-Palin in the world. Here's what was reported. Not at Fox or by Glenn Beck but by the Times.
A number of people who heard the speech in a packed hotel ballroom, which was closed to the media, said Mrs. Palin spoke from notes for 90 minutes and that she was articulate, well-prepared and even compelling.
“The speech was wide-ranging, very balanced, and she beat all expectations,” said Doug A. Coulter, head of private equity in the Asia-Pacific region for LGT Capital Partners.
“She didn’t sound at all like a far-right-wing conservative. She seemed to be positioning herself as a libertarian or a small-c conservative,” he said, adding that she mentioned both Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. “She brought up both those names.”
And again,
"Melvin Goodé, a regional marketing consultant, thought Mrs. Palin chose Hong Kong because, he said, it was “a place where things happen and where freedom can be expanded upon.”
“It’s not Beijing or Shanghai,” said Mr. Goodé . “She also mentioned Tibet, Burma and North Korea in the same breath as places where China should be more sensitive and careful about how people are treated. She said it on a human-rights level.”
Mr. Goodé, an African-American who said he did some campaign polling for President Obama, said Mrs. Palin mentioned President Obama three times on Wednesday.
“And there was nothing derogatory in it, no sleight of hand, and believe me, I was listening for that,” he said, adding that Mrs. Palin referred to Mr. Obama as “our president,” with the emphasis on “our.”
Mr. Goodé, a New Yorker who said he would never vote for Mrs. Palin, said she acquitted herself well.
“They really prepared her well,” he said. “She was articulate and she held her own. I give her credit. They’ve tried to categorize her as not being bright. She’s bright.”

You make it almost too easy.
Anonymous 7:41 - Ray outed babygate and identified the birth mother!!! Thanks for the link! I admit, with apologies, to thinking you were a troll with your first Showbiz Tonight comment.
ReplyDeleteI imagine Levi's comment to Ray was a slip and she may have broken confidentiality by sharing it on CNN. I hope this doesn't mess up Levi's time table for disclosure. Then again, the segment was halted just after Ray's comment so it may be MSM isn't ready to break the story either.
Well, I said that Levi will eventually spill everything. He'll do it because Sarah will keep picking and attacking and pushing until he finally nails her.
ReplyDeleteShe's stupid that way.
I don't have any problems with Levi posing for Playgirl. So far as I can see, he's been working out so that he'll look good and he's taking it reasonably seriously.
ReplyDeleteWhat just occurred to me is perhaps the nude pictures are to get attention on him. How many people really don't pay attention to Levi? Most of them. Lots of people don't remember the name of Sarah Palin's daughter's ex-fiance. But they're hearing about him now, because he's the one going to pose for Playgirl! He'll have a wider audience when he talks about Palin. How else can he increase attention to himself?
All she really had to do was play nicey nice with Levi.
ReplyDeleteCivility.
But she is incapable of that, and he realized that eventually.
He'll mature, he is is still something of a kid.
Levi has talked to The Guardian, UK, about equal custody.
ReplyDeleteThe Playgirl job is giving him the money for legal counsel for his situation.
@9:05 -People walked out of her speech. The footage that was leaked was awful. Americans left in protest. You seem to miss a lot of news. Here's the AP account: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/23/palin-hong-kong-speech-im_n_295812.html
ReplyDelete@9:05 - please provide a link for your New York Times excerpt. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLevi has a bodyguard named Tank, and a lawyer named Rex. scarah has megamoth and van flea.
ReplyDeleteIt also appears that Rex has a brilliant plan to let Levi make scarah seethe, until the goods come out via some other venue.
Levi has the "goods" on her, and Planet Tank has enough muscle, mind and wit to make sure that Levi stays safe and on script.
According to Palingates, Tamika Ray is trying to backpedal (my opinion anyway) on her comment: "He has no reason to gain from saying that she`s lying about the things that she did during the race, like when she pretended like it was her son and not her daughter`s, when she had him there and pretended like they were a happy family." She claims that she was talking about Tripp.
ReplyDeleteThe issue that I see with this is that physically it would have been impossible for $P to "pretend like it was her son and not her daughter's" during the race as TriPP was still in utero at that point. I'm calling bullshit on Tamika Ray's backpedaling at this point.
