I’m glad I watched the Levi Johnston video.  He seems pretty reasonable for someone who has gone through what he has over the last year.

Ann Althouse is special.  She reminds me of performance artists who get into a certain groove, and then keep doing the same thing night after night.  I haven’t read her blog recently, but I remember a couple of years ago she would dig deep into her boxed wine collection and then videotape herself.

Note: nothing wrong with a boxed wine, or as I prefer to call it: Party for One.

I couldn’t disagree more, AltHippo: Boxed wine is an abomination before the Lord. At least, the kind they sell at my local supermarket sucks. But it is dirt cheap.

RE: Levi—I would have totally hit that when I was 17.

RE: Palin’s Spokes-anger-bot—man, she’s mean. She spews so many scalding jets of boiling, acidic bile over each and every provocation that it has kinda lost its effectiveness. Thar she blows.

Palin needs to fire her PR person, who is obviously utterly unqualified for his/her job.  The only reason Levi gets press is because Palin keeps responding to him.  If anyone in her office had any sort of farsight, they wouldn’t be giving his opinions credence all the time. 

Either her PR people are horrible, or she’s just self-destructively vindictive.  Or both.

Or both.

Ding ding ding!

Regarding Obama allegedly gawking at the woman, it’s the Obama gave Hillary the finger thing all over again.  Even when presented with video evidence that he did no such thing, his detractors, including those brainiacs at Correntewhiner, insisted that he most certainly did.

Jeebus.

The phrase that comes to mind watching the Levi video is “outside the tent pissing in”.  Bad idea to trash him. 

I posted a link to this video at Twitter claiming it was the Democratic ad of 2012, especially the final question and answer.  That attractive, though inbred, young man offers a devastating, career-ending summation of The Quitta from Wasilla.

Upon reflection, I now realize that Palin will not even make it out of the Republican primary when Romney and Huckabee jointly finance a campaign to run it 24/7.

I should also mention that Sarah’s approach to the media has the fingerprints of Sarah’s Scientoligist handlers John and Greta all over it.

Not since Tom Cruise have I seen a celebrity go so far out of the way to act like a dick to the people whose job it is to interpret him to the public.

Do we know if Sarah’s been listening to the audio book of Dianetics on her jogs?

Am I the only one who is drooling at the thought that Palin will still be an attention addict even when she’s picking and paying for her own spokesdrones, her own handlers, her own ...

‘Scuse, need a cigarette.

p.s. WTH does L.J. have a lawyer? Does he even have a job?

WTH does L.J. have a lawyer? Does he even have a job?

HTP: negotiating the book deal, fending off the illustrious firm of One Unlearned Hand and Clapping, or whatever Palin’s assembly of ill-willed officers of the court are calling themselves.

Job: Professional Frozen Cheesecake Wrangler

Why is Palin threatening to sue people, anyway? Can’t she get that minister of hers to do an exorcism or literal witchhunt or something?

Re “Levi on Palin”: Isn’t that how Bristol got that baby? ; )

@Betty: “RE: Levi—I would have totally hit that when I was 17.” I know plenty of women MUCH older than 17 who would happily hit, spank, and lick that.

On a more serious note, been hearing the money thing for a while—and it totally makes sense. Now there’s a book that would be fun to ghost write.

Yeah, I thought “big scandal coming” at first, then realized—this is Alaska. They let Ted Stevens ride for a long time doing the snowbilly grifter (h/t Wonkette) act, so what could be so bad that Palin wouldn’t be able to weather it?

I think she may be realizing that her schtick, though it doesn’t travel well beyond the wingnut base, can certainly sell at a higher mark-up to that base. So why not get the book deal, the talk show, the “lecture” fees, etc.? She clearly has never been particularly interested in the “responsibilities” of governing.

Either he’s a normal human being, or his press agent is doing an awesome job coaching him to act like one.  Sadly, the wearing of the down vest indoors suggests the latter.
