Okay my friends.
I am going to have to ask you a favor.
I will not be home until at least an hour and a half after this program ends. So if you guys could send me links to any video or websites covering EXACTLY what Levi, Mercedes, or Sherry "Dammit where is my Oxycontin"Johnston says I would be very appreciative.
If I did not have somebody on vacation at work right now there is no way I would miss my new favorite program.
That Tyra! You just never know WHAT she is going to say next!
I have to work today too - and there was no way I was going to ask my hubby to dvr the show (he already thinks I'm a kook for caring about any of this) - and I can't watch any videos from work since they are blocked - so I will have to hope there are some posts that include quotes from the show during the day and then hopefully I can find clips of the show I see online tonight.
ReplyDeleteI doubt there will be anything earth shattering - but one can hope LOL
Highlights I found that are from clips so far:
ReplyDeleteBristol allows him to see the baby, but not take him anywhere.
The two fight a lot according to Levi, and Bristol is grouchy and short with him.
Apparently, they had sex multiple times because Levi says they usually practiced safe sex.
He then says when Bristol became pregnant they were having save sex. Yeah, and I’m Queen Elizabeth. (Don’t touch me Obamas!
He said he didn’t want to go to the RNC, but Bristol asked.
**Bombshell Alert**- Levi thinks Sarah Palin knew they were doing it because they shared a room. Levi, seriously? I have a hard time believing the two 1) shared a room nightly, and 2) the guy was banging the governor’s daughter inside their home in an actual bedroom. Don’t teens that are having secret sex usually do it in a car or somewhere a bit less obvious??
Levi got a “Bristol” tattoo on his ring finger.
His family was not allowed to comment during the campaign.
In the end, though, he still would vote for Sarah if she were to run against Barack.
***********
He would still vote for SARAH! GEEEZ I have no words in response to that
@Lady Rose, I wonder if Levi is even registered to vote....
ReplyDeleteHey, I just realized--we needed to have someone live blogging Tyra! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was taped 3 weeks ago. It didn't warrant the wrath Sarah put out before she saw it. I may have missed parts of it, I did not see where he and Bristol shared a bedroom. There was something about going to court to get Levi's paternity established. Levi is lukewarm, he said yes in his way, it's possible. Is there a transcript?
ReplyDeleteI would be shocked if Levi is registered.
Good question Anon 6:45 - also would he still vote for Sarah if she were running against any one else but a black man?
ReplyDeleteWhat time is this show on?
ReplyDeleteGryph:
ReplyDeleteI'll be live blogging it starting at 11:45 am Alaska time over at Blue Oasis and I'm also DVRing it. So call me when you get home, my friend!
Linda
Update - from a post some who saw the show - Levi and family were not paid for the show.
ReplyDeleteIf true - that is interesting and means Sarah jumped the gun in
curious then why he did the interview
Seems most folks are not posting much about it yet because the show airs at different times throughout the time zones - and in some areas the earlier airing of the Tyra show is a past episode with the new one with Levi airing much later today like 5 pm in some areas
Posting updates as I can find them written by folks who have seen the show -
ReplyDeletehttp://sanityrant.blogspot.com/2009/04/highlights-levi-johnston-interview-with.html
Okay I am watching it too...
ReplyDeleteHighlights ::
(1) Levi let is slip they engaged in JUNE !!!!! when he was discussing the Tatoo on his finger ( hey you AK Super Sleuthes SOMEONE should check Wasilla Ink joints...)
(2) and gee he really does look like track in old photos...
(3) Mercedes let it slip that the McCain Campaign gave ORDERS about What they could and could not say
(4) Failed Protection ( wardrobe malfunction) was not part of their "Abstinance" plan, because there was no Abstinance.....(LOL....shocking right ?)
(5) Okay- so he talks about explaining to the folks about being preggers- bristol called him-she had not told her mom, and he went to his mom and his mom cried for joy ...then they tried to tell Bristol's mom- and she did not believe them, kept saying they were "lying" ( so he is 18 now...it sounds like he was 17 when he got her preggers...)
(6) Sherry and Mercedes actually don't come off as White Trash...they come off as loving Levi...he really seems pretty naive...quiet...mellow....
(7) here is something really odd- Sherry really looks like Bristol...
okay now they are talking about WHAT if Sarah runs in 2012...painful....they were not happy with that idea...it will really hurt their lives more...( NO ONE said they would want to vote for her..)they really seem sad, distressed....okay Levi said he would vote for sara over obama ( poor deluded kid)....
ReplyDeleteWatch Sherry- how she moves and her face esp when the camera pulls away- she really looks like Bristol.....( maybe you all look alot alike ??us kidding..)
I was really struck that they are not allowed to take or have ANY photos- really pretty mean of Sara..
and Sarapee 's PAC issued a statement at the beginning of the show about People Trying to Make Money off the PALIN name ( LOL)...so Tyra carefully explained that they are ONLY there to speak their truth and there is NO MONEY being paid or offered.
Final thoughts::
I think they are laying the groundwork to sue for some kind of custody....( gee More Legal Bills for Sara...) they really do seem heartbroken...I thought Tyra was careful about her questions ( I don't watch her- so I don't know what is her norm..)...and she did a pretty good job....he is a pretty shy guy- she did get him to talk...
So there you go friend...Gotcha Journalism at it's best....You Betcha...
Where I am Tyra is on a Fox Channel. How much does she want to know? MSM wants more concrete proof, they aren't going to touch the pregnant hoax. The photos may not be conclusive for them but it could be documented that they were sent to her? The People mag pieces are a set up by the Palin schemers.
ReplyDeleteThe Johnstons are between a rock and a hard place. It will take others to speak up about what they saw and know.
I haven't seen Alaskans interested in the Palin child that was with a mother that took her along on a burglary.
The laws or law enforcement in Alaska does't look out for child abuse and neglect? If that Palin child is so blatantly neglected and there is no public outcry, why would anyone think the other Palin children are at risk of being at the center of a major fraud?
Censoring is works out for Sarah. You really have to wonder when and what the McCain people knew.
Celtic Diva is going to live blog, folks. Starts in about 10 minutes up there in Alaska.
ReplyDeleteAs for me, I saw another Tyra Banks interview episode (on Racial Perceptions) this morning at 9 AM here in western Oregon -- a very well moderated episode, I might add, I'm quite impressed with Tyra Banks' interview skills -- and from what I understand, the Levi/Tyra interview is supposed to be televised today at 1 PM in this area.
From what I understand from what folks on the East Coast have said, there IS nothing really earthshaking in this interview.
Some of the proPalin/Palinistas who've been complaining bitterly about Levi betraying Bristol and the Palins are full of hot air -- none of the 3 Johnstons said anything hateful, although Mercedes wasn't very complimentary about Bristol's treatment of Levi; and Tyra Banks said they weren't paid for this interview.
I wouldn't worry too much. You know within 24 hours it's going to be all over YouTube. Just catch it quick before they're pulled for copyright or some other excuse. You might be able to go to the show's site and catch clips of it there, direct from the network.
ReplyDeleteHey I have a great Idea ...
ReplyDeleteLet's set up a Fund for Daddy Levi...he will need help getting to see his son...
( sorry- but I do think it is rotten that she is not letting him see the baby...at all....he needs a good custody lawyer...and hmm, btw ....imagine the dirt a custody case would find out about the Palins and it would discover some interesting things about babies and babycare at the home....hmmmmm.....
There are clips of Mercedes and Levi on the Tyra show website:

Seems like the Johnston's didn't really go on Tyra to trash the Plain's as much as to clear their own family name, whatever that's worth. Seems to me like Wasilla is full of teenagers like Bristol & Levi...they drink, do drugs, have sex and really don't worry about their futures. No one tells them they should go to college, or strive for a better life. It is sad.
oh my, while tyra was talking to mercede (bristol doesn't want her son around levi's ex's, who are my girl friends, so i only get to see him once a month), they showed the famous "triggy-bear" myspace pic -did tyra know which baby it was? too bad she didn't ask why it was captioned "my baby brother" on the original page!!!
ReplyDeletewatched it at huffpo, second one has full youtubes on it.

mercede's version of the birth (tripp born at 5am, the palin's only allow mercede to visit for 10 minutes that evening after the whole palin extended fam and a bunch of bristol's girlfriends have had a chance) sure makes the palin's sound heartless.
no real revelations (no surprise).
This is working for me -

Lila
As usual SP and her monkey minions have way over reacted to this situation and come out looking like baboon's asses once again.
ReplyDeletePS I believe that he and Bristol shared a bedroom at the Palin's. There is no doubt in my mind that he was telling the truth. After all they were an engaged couple at that time. Bet this is another thing the locals all know about.
I think Tyra got him to say the reluctant truth. He did not sound like a liar to me but Palin called him one. Palin is the liar. It will serve the right, right if she gets nominated in 2012 and gets chewed up and spit out.
ReplyDeleteSo today Levi said that he told his mom first after he got a call from Bristol who came over to his house to tell him the "exciting" news? On the February 16 Faux airing, Bristol told Greta that they (she, Levi and her best friend) told her parents first...guess that Levi missed the "show"...
ReplyDeleteYes, Luna 1580, that was the triggy-bear pic and also, too, a few pictures after there was a very curious picture of Mercede, Levi and a baby who looks very much like the original newborn Trig sitting in a Palin leather kitchen chair - taken on the same day, I'll betcha!!! Wonder who supplied all the family photos?
ReplyDeleteYes, I think that Levi is telling the truth and I think they probably did share a room under the Palin's roof, which is not a great big deal to some of us, EXCEPT for the position SP and the Republican Party of family values, and the right-wing supporters of Palin and company and the reaction they would be having if this were the Democratic candidate for VP (now or in the past) family. I too would like to know (about all the things that are coming out regarding SP), what did McCain's campaign staff/McCain himself, the RNC know or what did they find out about this situation? Did they even care? Was it too late to do anything but try and cover up? What does these revelations say about McCain? About the RNC (well, we can see where they are headed, so ...)? It is really a serious matter. We laugh, joke, and poke fun, but folks, this person was a candidate for the second highest office in the land alongside an old man who probably would not have served a second term. Yegads!
ReplyDeleteIn case it wasn't mentioned elsewhere I want to bring this point up. The news clip say something like "Bristol allows Levi to see Tripp, but doesn't allow him to take him out of the house."
ReplyDeleteBUT in the interview they all say that he gets to go to the house to see the baby ONLY ONCE A MONTH.
That is disgraceful and could hardly be called "letting him see the baby". That baby is going to change quite a bit every month, and he's not going to be very familiar with his father.
I thought they all were very circumspect and weren't there to trash the Palins. Looked like they (Mercede & Sherry) would have liked to say more but with respect for Levi didn't.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I found interesting was that Tyra said that Palin's press release was issued on State of Alaska stationary signed by dear Meg. Another ethics violation? Calling the Johnston family liars and worse is State of Alaska official business? How?
Both KO & Rachel had great segments on GINO's irrational behavior - attacking a teenager - her grandson's father. Rachel's was particulary good. I highly recommend watching it! Well, both of them.
