Hendrik Hertzberg on Sarah Palin, Thomas Jefferson, and Levi Johnston.

Meanwhile, Johnston was on the Today show this morning:

"We're going to begin with a feud (YESSSS! A FEUD!) between Sarah Palin's family and Levi..."

How sad media is. How sad.

It's like that new Star Trek movie.

I was really disappointed by the Today Show this morning.

"Oooh Sarah Palin only resigned because of the money", says 17 year old boy in a (presumably paid) national TV interview.

Why, why, WHYYYYYYY is this important? British tabloids have nothing on what Americans consider "real news stories."

Disgraceful that we'd even give any of the Palin-Johnston clan a moment in the press.

I wonder if Levi would go gay if you got him drunk?

She talks to him like he's going to freak out at any moment. Does she really need to use that soft soothing voice to that degree the whole time?

@ 5,

I just want Levi to jump in my lap and ride me like the Kentucky Derby--is that really too much to ask?

Well, it's a good thing the fame didn't go to his head.

Someone needs to make "Sarah Palin - The Musical" right now.

@6 I agree. Her voice was tortuously delicate, as though Levi might spring up and walk off -- or worse, WITHHOLD HIS OPINIONS.

Oh and Levi, if you're reading this, you need to watch your weight. You've been putting on the pounds and it's starting to show.

And yeah, that Hollywood thing you want to do? Well, enjoy the gay porn you will probably have to do until you make it big. And word of advise if you do a scene with Barrett Long or Chad Hunt, relax and breath deeply, it'll hurt only for the first little bit.

Is it wrong of me to want to grudge-fuck Levi? With his mouth taped shut, and before he puts on any more weight. It is wrong isn't it.

Isn't it?

@16. I'd like to see that coffin stay open for awhile, then slam shut on 11/1/12.

He has lovely eyes, but like many square jawed people he has to become aware of the dreaded double chin.
