I am trying to give Levi the benefit of the doubt but...Update!

This from an interview that Levi gave over at the Huffington Post:

HuffPost: You write that Bristol wanted to get pregnant. 

Johnston: Bristol was on birth control for a long time. She got off it soon after Trig [Sarah Palin's son] was born. I think Trig was a big motivator for her. Her mother just had a child and I think Bristol was really jealous. She was the one who was supposed to have that kid and that's when she got off of [birth control]. We weren't practicing safe sex and she ended up getting pregnant.

This of course would have been impossible. Even if Bristol would have gone off the pill the exact same day that Trig was born it would have been a least a month or more before her body would have become receptive to pregnancy.

Which means their baby simply could not have been born only seven months later in December.

In the book Levi suggests that Bristol declared she wanted to get pregnant after she learned of Sarah's "pregnancy" which would have been in March. That scenario works better, but just barely.

It also fits better with Levi's claim that they told Todd and Sarah that Bristol was pregnant the day after his birthday, which would have been May 4.

Still to have decided to go off birth control and then get pregnant in less than two months, providing the perfect excuse for Palin to use Bristol's pregnancy to avoid having to produce Trig's birth certificate during the campaign, is somewhat suspicious as well.

HuffPost: What do you mean she was the one meant to have it? 

Johnston: We'd always talked about a kid. We'd been dating for several years. I think it kind of hurt her because she really wanted a kid so bad and seeing her mom have another one really made her want a kid now.

Well at least this part matches what Sadie and Sherry have been saying about how long Levi and Bristol discussed becoming parents, and getting married.

HuffPost: You say that Sarah kept Trig's pregnancy a secret until the seventh month. 

Johnston: Yes, she kept it very secret. Willow had actually found the pregnancy stick in her bedroom. That's when we all found out because she went around telling everybody. Bristol and the whole family was hurt that their mother couldn't share that with them. Keeping it away from your own family is kind of messed up.

I am sorry Levi but this is absolutely impossible to swallow.  NOBODY keeps a pregnancy test around for six or seven months.  And besides that I have a very good source that says Bristol learned along with the rest of Alaska by watching it on the news. And another very good source who claims the Heaths found out the same way, and a another source who has said that actually NOBODY in the family knew until Sarah announced it to the world. Which would also coincide with what Bailey says in his book about the iron clad secrecy, though he claims to have heard it for the first time only one day earlier.

However giving Levi the benefit of the doubt, I would say that this might have been something he heard from Bristol later and never had first hand knowledge of it as it was happening. 

I hope that this is just a sign that Levi has trouble remembering dates or something, because if it is a fact that he repeating a lie that he well knows is a lie, that makes it impossible for us to consider him one of the good guys.Which I really do want to be able to do.

By the way I talked to Sherry last night about some inconsistencies in the book and she said the following:

"I have read that some people are suggesting that Levi might be keeping Palin secrets in order to protect me from further legal trouble. But I would GLADLY return to jail tomorrow if it meant that Levi could tell everything he knew about the Palins! That would be worth it to me!"

Now THAT is a mother who loves her son!

What sacrifice has Sarah ever made for her children?

Update: Levi's story is REALLY upsetting somebody in the Palin camp. I have rejected at LEAST a dozen comments on this post alone, all written by what sounds like the same person, or different people with the same talking points.

What they are desperately trying to get published is that:

• Levi was into drugs and drinking.
• Mercede and he are telling conflicting stories.
• Levi has told conflicting stories in the past.
• Bristol was a very sweet girl, and a good student, until she met Levi.
• Levi cheated on her numerous times, but she remained faithful throughout the relationship.
• Bristol was too busy to think of having a baby in 2007.
• Bristol loved Juneau and still has many friends there that she sees frequently.
• Levi was NOT close to Sarah and he is making that up.
• The Palin family is very close and these attacks only make them closer.

I think that about covers it. Happy now?

Now I know for a fact that MOST of those are pure bullshit. But what I am somewhat amazed by is how desperate they are to get this information onto THIS blog!

Do they really think it will seem believable to those of us who have been following this family?

I cannot imagine what the pay of is for these people, but if it is monetary they need to request a raise.
