ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Levi Johnston, the boyfriend of Gov. Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol, has quit his North Slope oil field job over questions about his eligibility to work in an electrical apprenticeship program, Johnston’s father said Monday.

Johnston, 18, began working this fall in the Milne Point oil field with ASRC Energy Services Inc., a major Slope contractor.

In a Sunday newspaper column, Anchorage radio talk show host Dan Fagan questioned how Johnston could take part in ASRC’s apprenticeship program without a high school diploma.

Fagan said he understood federal regulations require all members of apprenticeship programs to have a diploma. He also questioned whether the governor might have had a hand in getting Johnston into the program.

Palin adamantly denied that Monday. More..

21. If the world were lucky,

his would have fallen off before he could have knocked Bristol up...

Wait, that would give Ms Palin's talk of abstinence and all that credibility... I suppose we're more lucky for him to use his XS condoms as water balloons instead of much vaunted protection... Indeed, every time a politician gets on stage, the audience should be wearing condoms so they can protect themselves from the diseased lies.

It doesn't take a high school diploma to shove a turkey's head through a funnel machine.

4. The word in the field was that he was "asked" to leave. He didn't quit.

Fuck him and the political hires we have to deal with in the field.

p.s. This actually happened last week, it is just now getting coverage?

[nevergiveup]

7. Could it be that Obama

is about to appoint Levi to some important post. Gupta and now Levi? Damn, this place is going to totally explode.

9. ohhh listen to the complaining

"You guys are watching him so tightly," Johnston said, referring to the media. "He’s being treated different than an average 18-year-old kid. He has to do everything by the book now."

Uhh, yeah. And what other 18 year old looking for employment doesn't have to do things *by the book*? I guess if the spotlight wasn't on him he'd have all sorts of jobs, even if he is UNQUALIFIED to do them.

:nopity:

16. As I said downthread, HS diploma was required of my son to enter elec

apprenticeship. Levi was given a spot ahead of others WITH a diploma. And they have the nerve to complain they're being treated badly??? Shit, they were hoping to get away with this shit when some poor no-name kid would get booted out the door if he didn't have his diploma in hand. How can anyone have any respect for these sleazeball redneck assholes? So, Levi, get yer fuckin' diploma like everyone else, pass the math and English exams on the level, and they may let you in honestly! Good god, the rest of us have to get college degrees to have even a prayer of a paying job, and these connected assholes don't even want to finish high school.

10. His Dad said that he might have his son get the job and not Palin?

Well, well, well. It would seem that someone violated ASRC hiring practices. There are seven layers of hiring qualifications that ASRC uses, being the son of an employee isn't one of them unless the employee is an ASRC shareholder. I think Dad and who ever the Job Supervisor is need to get a retraining class for hiring practices.

11. One messed up family. But they look good on stage. To some. nt

12. How's the wedding planning coming I wonder?

[Nay]

13. I wondered this myself, since Sonny Nay is a 5th yr elec apprentice and

he couldn't even take the admission tests until he gave the local union his HS diploma. Good for Fagan for questioning his admittance.

15. Gawd! Will these people never go away?

20. Ask the "Liberal Media".

24. What is funny is that Dan Fagan is the biggest RW douchenozzle in Anchorage.

Like I said before, even the prepugs hate her. Only the god boggled think she is worth anything.
