Levi Johnston Dishes on the Real Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin and Levi Johnston

Politicians are rarely what they seem when they’re schmoozing constituents. Promises must be made, the party line must be parroted and nothing can be said that might hurt one’s chances in the next election. So…what’s really like? Most people would never know, and that’s why Levi Johnston has decided to spill his guts so we can all find out.

Find out his version of it, anyway. Johnston is the young father of Bristol Palin’s baby (Bristol Palin being Sarah’s oldest daughter), and he alleges that Palin is a different woman when the media glare isn’t focused in her direction.

“She [Sarah Palin] told me that once Bristol had the baby she and Todd would adopt him,” Levi tells Vanity Fair in the upcoming issue. “Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging…she wouldn’t give up.”

“I think Sarah wanted to make Bristol look good, and she didn’t want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid,” Johnston added. Well, that goes without saying. It’s hard to run on the Republican ticket with a skeleton that big refusing to stay in the closet. At the same time, however, Palin’s concern could paint her in an entirely different light when looked at from another perspective.

Levi goes on to talk about how Palin acted when she lost her chance to become Vice President of the United States of America. He says she “was sad for a while,” and “walked around the house, pouting.” Johnston adds, “I had assumed she was going to go back to her job as governor, but a week or two after she got back she started talking about how nice it would be to and write a book or do a show and make ‘triple the money.’” Yeah, that sounds plausible. “Even before the campaign, Bristol was already the mom in the house, and she got tired of having to take care of her siblings.” It doesn’t necessarily follow, then, that she’d be so anxious to take care of her own baby, but whatever.

If you’d like to read the interview in its entirety, it will be printed in the October issue of Vanity Fair.

yes, but a rather unusual area im interested in what they are doing with their money and the actions they take when a major event takes place

I love politics -- it has such a lasting and widespread impact on our lives, and politics is the one arena where you can really express your opinion and stand up for what you believe in. For awhile I even considered political science as a possible major in college, but I opted against it for a more science degree. Politics is a great topic to debate too (which I love debating) as long as you keep it civil and respect the other persons opinions. Often there are no "wrong" opinions in politics, just different ways of approaching the same problem, so all of those in Congress should realize that they're all wanting the same solution, and they need to put aside their differences and work for the common good!

lol i try not to get into debates, im too stubborn and ill deeply frustrate people XD anyway, is there any particular area of politics you guys are interested in?

I don't go either, I like to keep up-to-date with politics as it's a pretty much everyday conversation that goes on about them. So I like to keep myself informed so I don't come off as an uneducated guy. However whether you like it or not, politics are like taxes and death. They will always be around..

hehe your post made me think, sounds weird to say im interested even though i dont stay up to date but u cant really say ur interested in politics as a whole, because there are so many aspects to keep track of its like sports, usually ur interest in a particular one, or multiple but not every single one

I sometimes am and sometimes i just don't give a crap,so i think im undecided.man i need to make up my mind.i don't want democrats to win though,i find them lazy (im lazy too,but its different).Dont know why.

I personally do not like politics because I find it, yes, a tad confusing and boring. I think politics is important in our lives, but learning about it? Oh wow, I get totally zoned out and well, I end up not paying attention. So, you guys can all guess that I don't read the politics section in the newspaper. ;)

Not really to much debating going on. People lie to get what they want to much drama for me. I really was never into politics. Democrat, Republican who really cares, I dont. To much of a big deal for me and I can live my life without it. You vote them in and they still make the same mistakes as others have in the past or do whatever they want and forget about the people so I dont pay any attention to them.

well the way i see it, of course every pres will mess up somewhat because we have high standards but when you think about it, every decision to a 2 sided problem will be critisized by everyone send troops to iraq? were making war for no reason and families are getting killed dont send them? were not doing enough and practically letting terrorists do what they want with no consequences

I actually don't like politics at all.There are obvious reasons for that.But not all country's political system is same.In our case, nearly everyone is corrupted. :(
