Comments on Boy Trouble
absolutely 100% agree with you on this one. horrible.
I think it doesn't fucking matter. Like he had any goals? "I will beat your ass." Whoa. Cool. Hardcore. Ammmmmmmmmbition.
Let him waste 2 to 3 on this ho. Who cares?
Sounds like Uncle Karl paid him a visit.
Families are OFF LIMITS! At least until the photo op...
his parents are probably on board, and bursting with pride.
these are the vaunted GOP traditional family values in action.
Dan,
Check out this post from Andrew on Levi's mom.....
http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2008/09/the-sanest-pers.html
Family is off limits, until it isn't. Also, Levi is now "family" because he is engaged...Well, from the sound of it, he's planning on getting engaged...well maybe he's just been told he'll get a good job and won't have to actually be involved with the kid and can conduct as many affairs as he likes just so long as he marries the female and appears at enough photo ops.
Three Words:
Rose Garden Wedding
Oh come on, like he isn't 'stoked' about his fifteen minutes of fame. Which I'm sure he's hoping will expand to four or eight years in the public eye. As reality TV has proven, people want to be famous. Even if it is for making a total jackass of themselves.
you gotta feel bad for this goofball of a kid, i mean who amongst did not bust a nut when we were wee lads..
Agggggh! Stop saying "Levi"!!!!!
Andrew Sullivan speaking of sanity? Does he ever stop firing his shitcannon?
Funny, I pegged him for a gold digger. I'm sure that being the govenor's daughter made Bristol more desirable. But he probably did get more than he bargained for.
I like the new 21st Century shotgun weddings.
Something the pro-choicers might want to consider: you don't just get the baby, you also get the good for nothing son-in-law too. And they are probably going to move in with you.
No way he's marrying Bristol. No. Fucking. Way.
moneymoneymoneymoneymoneymoney....
it makes the world go round.
Obviously, there's a deal being worked out...they'll get married by Christmas, and he probably has to stay married to her for at least 5 years with certain amounts of money guaranteed him by the RNC for every year he stays in the marriage up to that point.
It's just like a Tom Cruise marriage contract.
Poor guy. Just trying to get in another couple days of moose hunting and beer drinking before senior year starts, and now he's gotta drop everything and go to the convention.
i mean no one really knows for sure, but you gotta feel bad for this goofball of a kid, i mean.. who amongst us did not bust a nut when we were wee lads?
u shouldnt have to pay for the rest of your life..
Why does Dan, et al keep assuming that he ejaculated inside of her, or even that they didn't use a condom? Is there a source for this?
Does Dan need a sex ed refresher?
If the Mccain camp wins I'm sure he'll end up getting appointed to some job that will pay him enough to support her and the baby. If they don't win, he'll get appointed some job in alaska which will pay him enough to support her and the baby. They aren't going to let them live in a trailer while he makes $8.35 an hour coaching Pee-Wee hockey.
Two words : Kevin Federline.
Anyone else here like babies? I don't know, maybe because I was born in another part of the country, I think babies are really great.
Maybe embittered X-Gen-Xers are all that dwell amidst the Puget Sound now. Motherhood, fatherhood and babies, limit their infantile fantasies of themselves, as in, the person is in their mid-30s but has hopes of "raving" at Bumbershoot with all the 18 year olds. Babies just get in the way of that...babies have to be held, and that interferes with their XBox gaming console fingerwork...
Meanwhile, real teens in the year 2008 are virtual baby factories, unlike the barren Grunge Era teens of yesterdecade.
Anyone think the GOP will find a way to put a POSITIVE spin on this? And most of the electorate will buy it?
It would be awesome if Levi was having an affair with Todd Palin. Hot, hot, hot.
@9, totally stoked. This is gonna get him so much pussy.
No shirtless pics yet and it's been at least 3 news cycles since we learned of him?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICA?!?!?
Funny enough, I caught this bit of the National Review:
"I don't usually engage in these scenarios, but I'll do it here. If the Obamas had a 17 year-old daughter who was unmarried and pregnant by a tough-talking black kid, my guess is if that they all appeared onstage at a Democratic convention and the delegates were cheering wildly, a number of conservatives might be discussing the issue of dysfunctional black families."
@9, totally stoked. This is gonna get him so much pussy.
Also, Dan, he's 18. As you are often fond of saying when giving advice, parents of 18 year olds don't get to tell them what to do anymore.
This is exactly the story, spun properly. It's not about a pregnant girl, it's about her ambitious mother manipulating her so she can claim to be pro-family.
Wow, and now he's a high-school dropout to boot? Alaskatastic!
One thing, though -- tonight's RNC prime time will probably actually get ratings, now that it's turned into a white trash circus of filth and tragedy.
Do you think that if he knew that screwing the Governor's daughter would be this much trouble, he would have pulled out?
John@22:
Bzzzzzzzt. Wrong.
I have a 10 year old and a 7 year old. And I'm a card carrying (ACLU) liberal gen-X er.
I love kids so much that I've built my career around being there for them- trading a more lucrative but heavy travel software sales job for a locally based engineering job, for instance. When my wife and I had our second kid, I took a hiatus from state level political activity so I would have more time for them.
I couldn't imagine holding political office while my kids were still in school. Unlike Sarah Palin. And all my kids are healthy. And I only have two.
It's all a smokescreen. Keeping the Baby Palin discussion alive means less focus on McCain's 100 year war and Palin's lack of qualifications. And the Republicans get to lash out at the liberal media for meddling in family affairs that they leaked in the first place. Everybody wins!
Please continue talking about this boring non story. It is not like the country is in a war or in a recession or has any other real problems.
Um, #19, I think there's a pretty strong likelihood that he did, in fact, blow his load inside her, given she's pregnant and all.
I mean, MAYBE the condom broke, or MAYBE he came on her chest and it dripped down inside, or MAYBE she's the fucking virgin Mary. But I really doubt it.
This is such a fun lesson in family values. Her mother both opposes abortion AND also also services for pregnant teens. Good stuff.
Why does Dan, et al keep assuming that he ejaculated inside of her, or even that they didn't use a condom? Is there a source for this?
Does Dan need a sex ed refresher?
Was he 18 when he ejaculated somewhere in the vicinity of her 16-year-old ovaries? What's the age of consent in Alaska? In Alaska, maybe forced marriage is the standard sentence for rape, just like in the Bible.
McCain is a real problem.
I give the engagement until the day after the election. When McCain loses, Levi disappears back into the Alaska woods or wherever he came from.
@21, I'm thinking K-Fed too. Dollars to doughnuts he's spotted dancing on a bar with a bottle of tequila in his hand later in the evening.
Sven - I know you've been away... John Bailo is the new "most prolific troll" of Slog. I'm guessing he thinks he's showing the liberal pinkos of Slog what's what by coming in and presenting a different perspective.
What he may not realize is that we don't have a problem with different perspectives, but we do have a problem with huge fucking morons.
@19 & @38 I keep looking for the press release on the moment of conception but so far it hasn't been issued.
@26 I know! Except this picture of him has me re-thinking his attractiveness:
Sigh. I think the real story is standard after school special fare. But I'll admit it is easier to think the parents are manipulating the kids rather than the other way around.
@39 Alaska age of consent laws:
http://www.ageofconsent.com/alaska.htm
You really have to wonder what kind of "family values" this gun-packing, gay-bashing, pre-marital baby-making momma actually stands for.
The idea that she and her ilk want to tell our kids what they can and cannot do with their bodies, let alone use proven methods to prevent pregnancy and sexually-transmitted diseases, is outrageous. What the hell kind of role model do they think they're providing?
They're flying him there to propose... on stage!!
The wedding will be in mid October. Branson, MO. Big media event. Doesn't everyone love a wedding? Are you anti-marriage?
Journalist that do not toe the line will not be invited.
@46. That would be so amazing. Not likely to happen, but man, if it did, I would be the happiest person on earth.
@39: She was 17 at the time, and he was either 17 or 18, and
"The age of consent in Alaska is 16."
"The law recognizes statutory rape only in cases involving an age difference of more than 3 years."
And why are we still talking about this whole Palin thing anyway? Didn't you hear the new statement from McCain about her mama that
"Her selection came after a six-month long RIGOROUS VETTING PROCESS where her EXTRAORDINARY CREDENTIALS and EXCEPTIONALISM became clear." ??
(Just try reading that one out loud without using a sarcastic tone of voice.....)
How long do you think before his gay porn videos surface?
I'm John McCain, and I approve of Sarah Palin's hot fundy booty.
Matter of fact, in my mind, I'm groping it right now.
And no, I don't feel like letting it go.
PopTart@44: Thanks for doing the homework for me.
@36 Please continue commenting on this boring non-story. You know, the boring non-story that has your interest so much that you're commenting on it, just like everybody else in America? That boring non-story.
@50: Jacking off on xtube does not make you gay!
Levi = the first president of the Republic of Alaska
This Palin circus seems perfectly suited for the Wal*Mart shopping, NASCAR and WWE watching, Kid Rock and country music listening crowd.
@44 Levi already has his mandatory Republican post-scandal makeover? Awesome! Of course, the stylists had a lot easier time in his case than, say, Linda Tripp or Paula Jones.
I here that mccain has named Levi as top contender for the Secretary of State position, since he like Pain both have loads of foreign policy experience. He too has lived within a 1000 miles of Russia.
And with a baby on the way he really needs the job.
As a Democrat, this rising ridiculousness of the RNC delights me. As an American, it embarrasses me.
I say name Levi as McCain's EPA director, since he's learned an important lesson about emissions.
I hear that mccain has named Levi as a strong contender for the Secretary of State position, because of all of his experience living near Russia.
Also, with a baby on the way, he really needs the work.
She will have a convenient and tragic miscarriage and Levi will, literally, never be heard from again.
Even money that Bristie and Levi get married onstage at the Convention.
Remember all the hoopla when a reporter refered to Barak as Michelle's "baby-daddy"? Here we have the real thing in this election.
Damn it slog or damn it me, some how I re-posted to the same thread - excuse the repeat.
I know I have said this before, but the movie Chinatown comes to mind.
Some well-connected person of means should offer to smuggle this guy out of the state and set him up on a ranch in Montana so he can't be used. Of course, it's just an offer, because I'm SURE he'd LOVE to stay in the middle of his current clusterfunk.
I don't know, I'm betting this boy's going to be getting a makeover and some stern advice real quick. Enter good Christian boy, for awhile, at least.
I feel the most sorry for little baby Trig. Here he was getting ALL the attention, then along comes his NEW baby brother/sister, who steals the spot light away from him!
Hm, almost like it was PLANNED that way...
High School. Marriage. Babies.
What else is there?
We do prefer the Marriage part first ... (Levi, you scoundrel!)
Whoops, the makeover's been done! I missed Poptart's photo at @44. But is that a bunny tail they're putting on him?
They should have been married the day before yesterday by a JOP. The longer it drags out, the greater the fall of Mrs. Palins moral credentials.
@55 YES, exactly! While most people, including myself, think Palin is a joke (and a bad one at that), the WalMart crowd will eat her shit up with a smile. Hot chick that likes guns (check), shoots kids out like a Pez dispenser (check), has a knocked-up, unmarried daughter (check), hated by the leftist, liberal, communist media (check). The only way Palin could disappoint her base would be if someone had pictures of her blowing McCain while wearing a naughty librarian outfit, and even then I'm not so sure. The more she gets pounded on (what is the deal with my Freudian slips?) by the media, the more appealing she becomes to her base.
@46: If he does, this circus will go full Jerry Springer. And you all know how popular that show was.
GODDAMN YOU ROVE! YOU EVIL BASTARD!
First, they will both admit to being sinners and ask for forgiveness. Praise Jesus!
Then, he will propose to the young Ms. Palin and then announce he is going to study to become a minister like a good young Christian man.
Hallelujah!
@43 -- Julie, congrats on eliciting my first serious LOL at work today
I love Julie in Chicago. Whatta badass!
I almost wish it were Palin-McCain...
President Sarah Palin...sounds great.
I wouldn't call it a shotgun wedding.
Ms Palin prefers 22's.
Wait, I think we all have the story wrong, I think that Levi is the one who is pregnant. My photographic evidence:
Know why republican families are off-limit from the press' questions, by are OK for photo-ops? Here's why:
Know the difference between set and prop, theater-wise speaking ?
Republicans hold the "art-of-political-leadership" to be a theater. The electorate is the audience, the politicans and media are the actors on the politcal stage. On a theater stage, a set is what the actors stand in-front of... a prop is something they interact with.
A set creates the sense of place, location. A couch, a rug, a lamp turned on, is a set when actors are only speaking: it gives a sense of a location that they are speaking in a living-room. An actor might say the rug is red, or green, or plush, but it is still a set. If one actor invites another actor to sit on the couch, and turns off the lamp, then the couch and lamp are props: they were interacted with and are necessary devices the playwrite needed to propel the story.
When a republican stands on a "stage" surround by family: that is a set. The actors create a place, a location: their family... the place where the politician/actor's heart resides.
They might describe members of the family, but the family remains a "set". The set (family) remains back from the action; they do not become involved with the actors any more then the rug was involved in the above example. When another actor, albeit politican or media, goes "off-script" and begins to interact with the "set", improvising an interactiion with the family, then the "set" becomes a "prop".
Like theater actors, they can react with improvised grace to get back on script, or take some action which allows the show to going on for the audience (electorate). Or the actor can behave like a prima-donna, have a hissy-fit and point out the faux-pas that a set can not become a prop and demand that the other actors get back on script "to the letter" for the good "of the team".
@77: OMG....John Bailo is STEPHEN COLBERT!
http://www.comedycentral.com/colbertreport/videos.jhtml?videoId=180273
Damn Slog is gonna double post me.
WHERE ARE YOU AMY-KATE! WE MISS YOU!
I agree with Original Monique - Amy Kate we love you!
Come back!
@79
It's not a tumor.
He looks like "Bambi caught in the headlights."
Levi is a total BILF.
This is what will happen.
Levi will be pressured to marry Bristol. Levi and Bristol will get plenty of assistance, to make sure they mind their manners, and keep their shit together for a minute. I predict a heart felt moment, where they thank their god for their baby blessing, and their new marriage.
Bristol's mama will ensure Levi gets an easy, well paid job in AK.
Probably in the AK National Guard, because having a son-in-law in the military will look good for Palin.
Levi's parents are going to send the boy to his fate with lady Pain, because, lets face it, if the boy minds his manners, and jumps through the required hoops, he can milk this fiasco for a good long while.
Eventually, Levi will anger Palin somehow, and she'll remove him from whatever swank AK job that has been arranged for him.
But, Obama will be president by then, and everyone will have stopped caring about levi, Bristol, and this whole AK mess.
Another K-Fed? Nah -- I think he has the potential to be the 21st Century version of Billy Carter.
Could it be that Sarah Palin has been trying to create an opening with the Alaska State Troopers so Levi can take it?
Poptart @ 79,
If Levi keeps sticking out that tight, perky lil' butt, his dance card is gonna be full tonight!
So... if McCain wins this teenage scamp is probably going to be living in the white house. Cooks, housekeepers, yachts, parties, meeting VIPs. Sounds sweet.
Julie in Chicago @ 43:
Thanks for the status. Everything has indeed changed while I spent two weeks roaming the western U.S., like a modern dirt-biking Kwai Chang Caine.
