Levi Johnston: What the @#&! am I doing here?

[sabra]

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

1. Jesus, is this whole thing really happening? Series

[Neshanic]

2. He knows, and he's being rewarded handsomely, girl perks aside.

[dogtag]

13. They already rewarded him

a brand spanking new shirt, tie and jacket. The tags are probably still on 'em.

[Neshanic]

16. "and there's more where that came from kid, if you play nice."

[LibDemAlways]

26. That suit is probably rented. When my husband's slacker

nephew had to attend a funeral, his mom went out and rented him a suit knowing he'd only be wearing it once. Of course in this case that might become the kid's wedding outfit as well, in which case the RNC probably wrote the check. Guaranteed those duds, if paid for, will soon be lying in a heap gathering dust back in his bedroom in Wasilla.

[Canuckistanian]

54. If he plays his cards right, this may be his ticket OUT of Wasilla

Hockey stars are a dime a dozen up there.

A GOP prop, however, is worth his weight in Platinum.

Take the money and run, kid.

[beac]

36. Yeah, but he had to give up his sweet mullet and

redneck near-beard.

[Kahuna]

46. LOL! You know it. nt

[HowHasItComeToThis]

3. CAPTION: " YOU'LL DO WHAT LATER"?

YOUV'E BEEN HAD LEVI

[DonMeyer]

4. What the hell have I got myself into?

He probably feels like how Meathead felt when he first met Archie Bunker. These people are crazy!

[maseman]

5. and after all this the Christers will make him sleep in a different

hotel.

[Neshanic]

8. They are not married! Of course.

[maseman]

10. What more damage can he do now?

:shrug:

[Neshanic]

43. Screw a hotel maid. It's not like it's out of the realm of possibility.

[LibDemAlways]

45. Get drunk, trash his hotel room, rough up Bristol,

scream profanities out the window, call a reporter and dish dirt on the Palins....the possibilities are endless.

[BeyondGeography]

6. 18 years old and I'm already living a lie

[musicblind]

9. and that's sad

not even funny. just genuinely sad. I feel sorry for them both.

[BeyondGeography]

11. Me too...they are being manipulated by very powerful people

who don't care a whit about anything but themselves right now.

[musicblind]

58. I wish the media would speak up about this.

[CreekDog]

18. me too

[aaronbees]

19. I do too

At this point, they're both just pawns in the Palin/McCain family games now. I'd love to know what they really think. Using kids like this is pretty high on my list of parental crimes.

[az chela]

7. They are just kids.He needs to run like hell and send her

a check every month

[LibDemAlways]

12. You've got that right. The last thing that kid wants

to do is get married. I'll bet that's the first time he's ever put on a suit. He looks miserable. When he met McCain earlier today he was standing there totally stiff and uncomfortable,leaning away as McCain was inexplicably rubbing his arm. He had nothing to say to Bristol either. I'd like to be a fly on the wall in the Palin hotel room when they sit down to negotiate some sort of deal. He's going to want a mint to go through with a sham wedding followed by a quiet annulment.

My advice: Go back to Alaska and have some brews with your buds. Figure out how you can provide for the baby, but run like hell from Bristol and her whack-job family.

[LisaL]

33. Does he have a job?

[jberryhill]

14. I will say this...

...he is quite the handsome young man.

Of course, I've reached the point in life where looking in the mirror reminds me of how handsome a lot of young men are.

It will be fun to read his "as told to" book years from now.

[fortyfeetunder]

15. Levi, when you lay, you pay!

When you are schtupping the Governor's daughter? No protection? You didn't think anything can happen?

Didn't that abstinence education teach you anything?

[Neshanic]

17. No, in this situation it's a paying gig. He's making bank.

[Hoof Hearted]

20. Condoms, as used, have a pretty impressive faillure rate.

Fucking begets pregnancy. Simple. Logical. Pure biology.

[kath]

28. but condoms combined with spermicidal foam is a quite effective method, and has the benefit of not

requiring a trip to a clinic or doc -- available in any drugstore, discount store or grocery store. Too bad kids stuck with the abstinence-only NON-education are not taught this.

[kath]

30. delete - dupe

[johnaries]

39. 2% is an impressive failure rate?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?

Oh, you said "as used", which is still only 10-18%. But if people were educated and actually used them CORRECTLY, the effectiveness rate is 98%. It's even higher when used with a spermicidal.

So, shouldn't we be teaching people to use them correctly?

[JVS]

22. They might have used protection and had a rip, slip, or tear.

[GrizzlyMan]

35. Are you saying Levi has a small penis?

[johnaries]

38. But Mommy Palin told them not to!

Abstinence only - condoms are evil!

[XOKCowboy]

21. I'm surprised someone got a shot of them NOT holding hands..

[LibDemAlways]

27. They were holding hands throughout the uncomfortable

meeting with McSame earlier, but had absolutely nothing to say to each other. Dude looked like he was going to cry.

[Raine]

40. Poor dumb smuck, I could almost feel sorry for him...

*almost* but I don't.

[MagickMuffin]

23. Shotgun Wedding after McCain's speech, yikes!

:spank:

[Monk06]

24. I've come to the conclusion that rich white people are quite disgusting.

Here we have a conceited red neck slacker who
is going to be made for life because he bonked
the daughter of a frontier robber baronette.

[EmilyAnne]

25. Poor kids. I can't feel any animosity towards them or anything they have done.

[cwydro]

29. I agree.

They are being manipulated.

[Lorien]

37. Levi isn't a "poor kid", he's a "fucking redneck" who "likes shootin' shit"

and will "Fuck you up" if you cross him (from his MySpace site). Another fascist a**hole, imho.

[Raine]

42. Yup, he's an ass

real scum of the earth, he'll fit into that family very well.

[LeftishBrit]

44. That doesn't necessarily make him a fascist asshole; it makes him emotionally immature.

Just like many other teenage boys. And many (not all!) of them grow out of it. But not all of them, especially nowadays, get dragged into an early and probably disastrous marriage to obey the God of the fundies and, of course, save the Republican mother-in-law's career!

Poor kids.

[sunnybrook]

51. the whole lot of them

were emotionally immature.... not just her family, but the entire convention crowd!

[galaxy21]

57. I agree, I think a lot of people come off as asses on myspace

doesn't mean they deserve to be forced into marraige or used as a political toy.

[Zookeeper]

31. I feel sorry for both of them. And really disgusted that...

the Palins and the Rethuglican party would put them through this, just to further selfish ambitions.

(As a mother of teens, I think Sarah Palin is criminal.)

[vegansrule]

32. Somebody got a shave, a haircut, and a visit to Brooks Brothers...ooh and a lapel pin! n/t

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

34. I don't care what you do ...

you can make a pound of shit look like a gold. And this is exactly what McCain's camp is trying to do here. We see it and we smell it from a mile away.

[stolivodka]

41. What the hell kind of name is "Levi"?

Also, how did these people take over our country, anyways?

[jakem]

48. Yeah, what do you fancy rich folks name your kids...

.. Corduroy?

... Chino?

.... Linen?

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

49. They haven't, and they won't.

[WinkyDink]

55. Old Testament. Ancestor of Moses.

[npincus]

47. The Reluctant Fiancee

He's trapped, and he knows it... should have worn the rubber.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

50. Little pity, mostly lulz

Life. It's not just an adventure, it's a job!

[ogneopasno]

52. Levi, could you at least ACT like you love your fiancee? Poor Bristol.

I feel sorry for her.

[Tennessee Gal]

53. Caught!

And no way out.

Family values?

[WinkyDink]

56. He cleans up nicely. Now, is he going to enlist to keep us free?

[Top Cat]

59. Levi is enjoying the attention
