Tyra Banks: Let’s applaud the Johnstons for talking trash about the Palins for free
posted at 4:25 pm on April 6, 2009 by Allahpundit
I thought they were low-rent in taking money from a tabloid talk show to dish about the other half of little Tripp’s family, but now that I know they were doing it gratis, for the sheer sport of it, well, that changes everything.
The media’s having a grand old time snickering about this story, as they’ll continue to do with anything that plays into their narrative of Palin being the center of some sort of freak show (see, e.g., the turkey clip they all love so much). You’d think the Johnstons would be sensitive enough to that, at least, to sit with a respectable journalist if they were intent on stooping to a tell-all. Instead they went with the trashiest venue they could find this side of Springer. What happened? Was “Maury” all booked up?
Word today from the Washingtonian is that Sarahcuda and Bristol may do some dishing of their own, albeit on more useful subjects. Click the image to watch.

I would have rather lost with Romney last year than lost with McCain. At least it would have been fun watching the Donkey Party descend into Mormon bashing and seeing Utah go 98% for the Republicans.
Speedwagon82 on April 6, 2009 at 6:44 PM
hey Lt-
i’m going to answer you as soon as he answers me….so…once again….Wall…how is your ex eagles gf doin?
Equality 7-2521 on April 6, 2009 at 6:44 PM
Yes, I know you could, but I don’t see how that gets us anywhere, assuming these conversations ever get anyone anywhere.
And really, what is the point? What do you get out of these insults? At least the Christian has heaven and a relationship with God. What do you get? A laugh at the expense of someone else you otherwise agree with politically?
Once again, that’s Paul, not Jesus. Surely you know they’re not the same person.
Esthier on April 6, 2009 at 6:44 PM
I notice you left out verse 11.
Slublog on April 6, 2009 at 6:44 PM
Interpetation: I am embarrassed and MUST CHANGE SUBJECT!!! I FEEL PANIC AND CANNOT JUSTIFY PSYCHO AIR-HEAD THAT I SUPPORT FOR POTUS…MUST CHANGE SUBJECT!!!!!!!
Thanks for playing. Nice try….not really.
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 6:44 PM
Could be though that she’s just human?
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 6:44 PM
Huh? I’m not embarrassed. Like I said, the Palin family is only unusual in the hatred they inspire from teh Froot Loops.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Dude, you’re busted. Badly. No one is even stopping at your stand to look at the garbage you’re peddling. Wait until registration opens up and come on back under some other variation of Floyd and try again.
BadgerHawk on April 6, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Wait a minute, that “quoted scripture” isn’t even 1 Corinthians 5:9-10.
1 Corinthians 5:9-10 is:
What this world-class theologian MEANT to quote was 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
However, the money quote is in verse 11 (I TOLD you he’d take it out of context). Thus, let me give you the NIV version of 1 Corinthians 6:9-11:
(emphasis mine)
Religious_Zealot on April 6, 2009 at 6:45 PM
I think it was the day before yesterday that SP said something like “Bristol and I will continue to support abstinence”.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
What a crock!
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Which means I have stumped you again…now where are those supportive Palin posts you claim?
You are tiresome, I am through playing with you.
So terribly obvious, so terribly lonely you are…so worried that the thread won’t revolve around your insults.
So predictable, there have been dozens like you in the past couple of years, and eventually they leave or are banned because you add nothing but insults.
Your posts are limited…you add nothing, you are nothing.
right2bright on April 6, 2009 at 6:46 PM
No reason to insult her and other cheerleaders just because of The Wall.
Esthier on April 6, 2009 at 6:47 PM
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 6:45 PM
You’ve already been banned as Roger Waters. Are you trying to get banned as The Wall, also?
kingsjester on April 6, 2009 at 6:47 PM
Or maybe just more gossip. Perhaps Springer swore it was true?
littleguy on April 6, 2009 at 6:47 PM
This is the only thing you ever need to read from this person to understand them.
canditaylor68 on April 6, 2009 at 6:47 PM
What you know about the Bible could fit in a thimble with room for a cupful of water.
You didn’t say Paul was speaking for Jesus.
You said Jesus said that.
Two different things.
Religious_Zealot on April 6, 2009 at 6:47 PM
It is 1 Corinth 6: 9-10 and you WISH it was out of context.
Hey reverend,when you read the Bible, do you just close your eyes to the parts that you dont agree with????
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 6:48 PM
Romney would’ve made a great host of The Price Is Right. Perfect.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 6:48 PM
I support following the speed limit and not running stop signs. Doesn’t mean I always follow that, though.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 6:49 PM
HA HA HA HA!!!
Sarah Palin belongs on the Jerry Springer show.
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 6:50 PM
Seriously, he just schooled you on that, and you still won’t admit it.
Esthier on April 6, 2009 at 6:50 PM
Willard is a lib.
These Palin threads are HA’s bread and butter.
getalife on April 6, 2009 at 6:50 PM
There are a lot of things God doesn’t like. They’re called sin. Everyone has done one or more of them. That’s in the Bible too.
And, as a reminder, the following people in the lineage of Jesus would have been condemned by you as well: Tamar (dressed as a prostitute and seduced her father-in-law), Rahab (was a prostitute), and Bathsheba (bedded a king while her husband was off at war…king then had husband killed).
Shouldn’t we take this to a Christian forum? ‘Cause I’m sure the non-Christian conservatives are just loving this fruitless discussion. (Hi, AP!)
Snowed In on April 6, 2009 at 6:50 PM
“Brain Damage” or “Eclipse”.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 6:51 PM
1) You claimed it was chapter 5. Someone who KNOWS their scripture would have gotten it correct.
2) You DID take it out of context because you left out verse 11: And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
In other words, guess who’s going to heaven?
Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, covetous, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners – if/when they are washed clean of their sins through the grace of God.
Religious_Zealot on April 6, 2009 at 6:51 PM
Dudes, Wally is like a black hole — it won’t matter to it what you say, since it doesn’t respect anything. It just wants to spread hate and discord, to suck the life out a thread.
littleguy on April 6, 2009 at 6:52 PM

The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 6:52 PM
Well, then, you’re going to HELL!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The beliefs are laugable, large masses believing in them are no laughing matter.

Why? You think she’s the only parent to go through this situation? Keep it up. It’ll eventually be to her benefit.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 6:53 PM
I’m thinking “Time” since Roger, I mean The Wall, apparently has an abundance of it on his hands.
BadgerHawk on April 6, 2009 at 6:53 PM
As a reverend, you really suck.
Paul was telling the people of Corinth to CLEAN UP THEIR DAMN ACT BECAUSE IF THEY DIDNT CLEAN UP THEIR DAMN ACT, THEY AINT GOING TO HEAVEN.
You dont need a seminary to read the bible, reverend, I think you need a seminary to teach you how to argue around the simple truths of the bible.
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 6:54 PM
First of all, you’re a fool and a rather appalling person. Generally speaking, I don’t respond to people who are not interested in civil debate, but your false assertions of your own perfection bother me. I would not classify myself as a particularly religious person, but I was raised in church and you are the worst sort of church hypocrite. You assert that you, and you alone, are correct and sin-free. Yet you continually post shameful and un-Christian comments on this blog.
I’ve noticed that you seem to pick and choose the verses in the bible that you wish to believe. You seem to stake your argument on bible-based morality, and claims of your own perfection. Which is interesting as your comments on this blog clearly violate directives in the bible, and to the bible clearly states that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” At any rate, such a “well-educated” and “moral” person as yourself (/sarc) should take the time to read all the verses, and not just the ones you wish to twist for your own purposes.
Romans 8:34-39:
meltenn on April 6, 2009 at 6:54 PM
Har! I knew you’d get to your unca Jerry sooner or later! You watch all the reruns, too, don’t ‘cha? JS, your one, true god!
littleguy on April 6, 2009 at 6:54 PM
Just to make it clear.
1) Jesus didn’t say this, Paul did.
2) And actually, Paul DID say that these people would get into heaven if/when they were washed clean with the justifying grace of God.
Full quote (emphasis mine), and just for fun I’ll use the KJV:
Religious_Zealot on April 6, 2009 at 6:54 PM
what? are you confused?
Equality 7-2521 on April 6, 2009 at 6:55 PM
In which case, a belief in a “moral code” that is somehow hardwired is equally laughable, and less consistent.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 6:55 PM
Or President of the United States in a Sci-Fi Original costarring Judd Nelson and Danica McKellar.
Jim Treacher on April 6, 2009 at 6:56 PM
Nah, next time it will be something like The Thin Ice or something.
It is now redundant.
Bottom line: SP preaches abstinence prior to marriage but lets a dude, who has a perfectly fine place to live, come shack up with her daughter prior to marriage.
Verdict: HYPOCRISY
Verdict #2: NO chance in hell of becoming POTUS.
Verdict #3: One of many future embarrassing moments that Palintologists must live through over next 4 years.
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 6:57 PM

Jim Treacher on April 6, 2009 at 6:58 PM
I would expect a comment like that from somebody that has a website called:
“Mother may I sleep with Treacher?”
Weak dude. Weak as hell.
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 6:58 PM
Why? Someone believing in a God who doesn’t want people to steal, kill, have sex outside of marriage, be jealous, glutenous, have other gods, and disrespect parents is somehow a threat to you?
It’s those who have tried to stop believers who are frightening.
Esthier on April 6, 2009 at 6:59 PM
“No reason to insult her and other cheerleaders just because of The Wall.
Esthier on April 6, 2009 at 6:47 PM”
Relax. This guys needs a beatin’.
LtE126 on April 6, 2009 at 6:59 PM
Actually, Paul was warning of the dangers of un-repented sin, and reminding those in the church of Corinth that we are only justified through the sacrifice of Christ.
Slublog on April 6, 2009 at 6:59 PM
You may be right. The fact that you are probably wrong bothers you, though.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 6:59 PM
Whoa! You’re finally admitting that those where Paul’s words and not Jesus’??!!
I guess we’re finally getting somewhere.
Too bad you don’t understand how verse 11 impacts verses 9-10.
OF COURSE Paul is teaching the Corinthians (and anyone else who would listen) that sinners don’t get to heaven.
However, and this is the WHOLE POINT of the Gospels…
…through the blood of Christ we can be washed clean of our sins.
That is, through the sanctifying grace of God enacted through the work of the Holy Spirit, we sinners can be forgiven of our sins and given eternal life in heaven with the triune God.
So, who will be in heaven?
Forgiven sinners.
This is basic, fundamental theology.
Religious_Zealot on April 6, 2009 at 7:00 PM
Yes and that is definitely a problem with religion. No need for a hardwired moral code here, just that you keep your freedom as long as you don’t infringe on anyone else’s. Many could even agree to that.
LevStrauss on April 6, 2009 at 7:00 PM
LOL! I love it when people go to school to become professional ministers and dont understand the Bible as well as a 12 year old reading it by him or herself.
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 7:01 PM
Pray for me, padre. You’re the only one who can.
Jim Treacher on April 6, 2009 at 7:02 PM
Not so much a threat to me as a detriment to all. But really the only one who feels threatened is this supposed God, his first three rules basically are “don’t think”. At least my first rule is “to think”.
LevStrauss on April 6, 2009 at 7:02 PM
You see, your hatred of Palin is far more irrational than the devotion of even the most fervent “Palintologist”. They at least have better reasons.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 7:02 PM
Go away, you add nothing, you have been banned before…time for you to leave.
We no longer want to play with you, you are not allowed to sit at the adult table.
You add nothing, you can’t back up your posts…you are a liar.
Go away…you add nothing
right2bright on April 6, 2009 at 7:03 PM
It’s clear that debating theology with “The Wall” is like trying to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.
Slublog on April 6, 2009 at 7:03 PM
ah, whatever.
I still like your website.
out.
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 7:03 PM
Yes, he does.
Yes, just not the militant atheists, the ones who pray (secularly) for a world with no religion.
Esthier on April 6, 2009 at 7:03 PM
Oh well, I was thinking of taking it down anyway.
Jim Treacher on April 6, 2009 at 7:05 PM
I watched the last half of this interview by accident this morning. I thought it was a news clip before I realized it was the Tyra Banks show.
Tyra did a really good job interviewing these three who were way out of their depth. I came in when Tyra was asking the boy if they always practiced safe sex. He kept insisting ‘yes’ while the sister was saying no.
The poor fish, I mean boy, didn’t seem to have a clue he did not have to answer a question about his sex life, and the vengeful sister did not have the pride to stay out of it.
The sister had a tale to tell about Palin’s daughter sending her mean text messages and a whole pack of mean girls joining in. A clueless amoeba, she spilled the meanies to Tyra’s gentle coaxing.
While watching this I kept thinking how happy Tyra’s producers must be. They hit the jackpot.
Tyra did not behave badly, although from my perspective when people are too simple, I usually lay off because it is so unfair.
My friend noticed the mother’s makeup, which was caked dead white with heavy black eyeliner and said she looked like she was set up to look like trailer trash. Normally guests are made up by their people to show properly on camera. Who did the makeup?
I felt sorry for Mom trying to be lawyerly as she explained why whe was bound not to talk about a pending drug charge
The spiteful sister was like Meghan McCain without the money
The other two were poor fish out of water
Tyra should get a career boost from this one. She scorred
entagor on April 6, 2009 at 7:05 PM
No, don’t do that.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 7:06 PM
How does instructing his believers not to use his name in vain, not to worship other gods and not to worship statues instructing them not to think?
That makes absolutely no sense.
Esthier on April 6, 2009 at 7:06 PM
Two years from now, no one will remember who Tyra Banks was.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 7:07 PM
Lt- Wall refuses to answer me because he can’t remember which name he posted under when he claimed he had an ex eagles cheerleader gf. well just so you know, Wall, you were logged in as Poptech.
Equality 7-2521 on April 6, 2009 at 7:09 PM
Bottom line: an hour or so of Sarah Palin talking frankly about this on some MSM outlet would garner far more empathy than snickers. People can relate.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 7:09 PM
He goes too far!
Jim Treacher on April 6, 2009 at 7:10 PM
You are so confused. I havent the faintest idea what you are going on about.
No, that wasnt me….whatever that was.
The Wall on April 6, 2009 at 7:11 PM
I’ve done this long enough to know that I could never get through to someone like The Wall.
They are not believers and have no intention of ever BEING a believer.
I debate not for them, but for others who may be reading.
I want to let them know they hypocrisy and ignorance in the statements made by people like The Wall.
People like him claim to have great theological knowledge.
Yet they don’t understand one of the most basic, fundamental beliefs of Christianity: Christ died for our sins.
Religious_Zealot on April 6, 2009 at 7:11 PM
Maybe he’s just upset thinking you may be getting some. LOL

Dealing with teh libruls is increasingly taking care of itself.
ddrintn on April 6, 2009 at 7:15 PM
Well you gave the cliff notes. Basically you have to believe in his existence, doubt is not allowed. No need to think about first cause. He is the one that feels threatened so much so that he doesn’t want you to sweat the big stuff.
It kind of reminds me of a particular infancy gospel where Jesus yells at his teacher, “how can you talk to me about the Alpha if cannot describe the Beta” or something along those lines.
LevStrauss on April 6, 2009 at 7:15 PM
You are kind of a douche, but I appreciate the subtle snark there. Nicely done. If you could be that humous with more of your comments you could even have a blog like Treacher’s.

In other words, this country is economically schizophrenic. But it cannot abide a weakling.

CCRWM on April 6, 2009 at 7:19 PM
…if you are a believer. These were laws given to believers, not the world.
Says who?
I’m barely remembering that one, but I don’t think it’s what you’re saying exactly. I’ll try finding it.
Look, the Bible says explicitly that our bodies are the temple of God and as such must be taken care of, this includes the mind. Nothing about Christianity rewards idiots. It’s much the opposite.

I am not watching it. Did they discuss Levi’s child support payments? Is he paying Bristol anything for the care of their child? I read the comments at HuffPo. Those people are nuts. The mother is arrested on drug charges and all they care about is poor granny not getting enough access to her grandchild. And how unchristian Sarah Palin is for denying her access. This world is upside down and I think we are going to fall off anytime now.
Sue on April 6, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Some of the greatest thinkers in human history were Christians: Pascal, Gauss, Newton, Galileo, DaVinci.
Even Einstein believed in a controlling, creating force, although he claimed it to be different than the God proclaimed by Christians and Jews.
Religious_Zealot on April 6, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Levi states that he came on to dispel rumors that he kept hearing in the media that were not true i.e. that he cheated on Bristol. I find that he doesn’t seem to be doing this interview out of malice. The sister is a biatch though and it’s obvious that she doesn’t get along with Bristol and so has taken a few opportunities to take shots at her i.e. Bristol doen’t like me because I’m still friends with all the girls Levi used to date”
CCRWM on April 6, 2009 at 7:24 PM
Relax. It’s just that the lunatics are running the asylum at the moment.
