Life / Media The Pleasures of Having Your Prejudices Voiced by Someone Hot
Posted by David Schmader on Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 10:18 AM
Obama-haters reveled in such pleasures last fall, as sexy Sarah Palin marched around dissing the man who would be President for "pallin' around with terrorists"; the pleasure was extended into 2009 by the (now unemployed) Palin's inflammatory warnings about Obama's forthcoming "death panels."
Now we Palin-haters have our own sexy mouthpiece: Levi Johnston, who spreads his dirt on his babymama's mama in the new Vanity Fair. (I'm obsessed, I know.)
On the Palins' home life:
The Palin house was much different from what many people expect of a normal family, even before she was nominated for vice president. There wasn’t much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn’t cook, Todd doesn’t cook—the kids would do it all themselves: cook, clean, do the laundry, and get ready for school. Most of the time Bristol would help her youngest sister with her homework, and I’d barbecue chicken or steak on the grill.
And on the woman's post-election-loss slump:
Sarah was sad for a while. She walked around the house pouting. 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 quit and write a book or do a show and make “triple the money.” It was, to her, “not as hard.” She would blatantly say, “I want to just take this money and quit being governor.” She started to say it frequently, but she didn’t know how to do it. When she came home from work, it seemed like she was more and more stressed out.
All of which is a pure dirty delight to read, and only slightly more credible than the dung-nuggets that regularly fall from Palin's mouth. (However, it should be noted that sexy Levi's biased gossip is far less dangerous than sexy Sarah's.)

Sarah Palin has provided me with more hours of fun and entertainment than any other Republican. Thanks, Levi, I am in your debt for the latest installment.
(If eight years with Dub taught me anything it is the power of ridicule to bring down the mighty. Thank god for the comic muses, from Stewart, to Colbert, to Vanity Fair.)

Hey David,
Where's your post on this week's episode of Hoarders? It was the best thing I've seen on TV in ages (including Hung and Tool Academy 2).
*goes off to search for mix video of pseudo-suicidal gay boy*

OK, you don't have to be first with everything, but this story was all over the place more than a week ago.

@5 you don't have to be first with everything, but that was like the fifth comment on this article. and it's such an amazing comment.

Between the enabling older gay dude, and the dog hair obsession, I was fixated.
The cat skeletons by the ton were horrifying and strangely funny. This, along with last week's freezer hag, makes me glad that the show doesn't come with odorama.

I'd take everything Levi says with a big grain of salt, as he's a dumbass, but reading that stuff is still a guilty pleasure to be sure!
Sarah Palin is the gift that keeps on givin'!

That poor kid's alcoholic dad was a raging asshole! Why was the kid living with him in the first place? And that kid clearly has some bad OCD issues on top of the hoarding. Believing something totally irrational such as that your dog is going to die if you throw away the hair she sheds is classic OCD.

I thought that Intervention was the best show ever and then comes along Obsessed and it became the best best show ever but Hoarders takes the cake! OMG - OMG - OMG! I love this show! Keep new episodes a' comin!

@10 The best part about Obsessed was the hot muscled guy in the first episode that has fully nude photos on at least one gay website. I wasn't stalking him, he just happened to be daisy linked.

This is another Palin hit piece, like everything else Vanity Fair has run.
You people are really taking a creep like Levi Johnston seriously?
More proof on just how desperate liberals are!

If Schmader's written anything previously on the show 'Hoarders' and I missed it, please direct me to it ... I can only dream what his take on it is.
16
Ah, this kid grows on me every time he is in the news. I wish something else of his would grow on me while he is in the nude...
17
@ 15 that show is so sad. That 21 year old gay kid on the verge of suicide whose drunk father had over 1,000 wine bottles in his living room brought me to tears. Some of those people really have it bad.

The saddest thing is, nothing Johnston says seems contradicted by the Palins' actual behavior in the slightest. It's as if Levi's gossip, crock of lies though it may be, sounds more plausible than anything else.

@17 - I've only seen one episode of it, my husband draws the line at 'Intervention' and I've only been able to sneak one peek while he was doing other stuff.
It is very very sad, and I didn't even see the one in question, which sounds a million times worse.
