Video: Unmarried teen dad now a celebrity or something
posted at 5:46 pm on August 10, 2009 by Allahpundit
Worth posting for two reasons. First, because it’s a stark commentary on fame in modern America — not only in terms of how low the bar is set to qualify but how small the rewards are. The kid’s gone from front row at the Republican convention to … the Teen Choice Awards … as Kathy Griffin’s date. What’s next, taking Pia Zadora to the Daytime Emmys? Second, although most Palin fans can’t stand him, this is actually good news for the ‘Cuda, especially now that she’s engaging on serious policy matters. The more visible Johnston becomes as a celebrity parasite and gossip-page hanger-on, the less the public will associate him with her or Bristol. Eventually he’ll just be one of those “why is he famous again?” people, like Paris Hilton or Kevin Federline. Or, actually, Kathy Griffin.

My GOD we need a better class of troll here!
Governor Plain’s statement:
“As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and we’re saying not just no, but hell no!
The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
Health care by definition involves life and death decisions. Human rights and human dignity must be at the center of any health care discussion.
Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the president’s health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff, in a floor speech to the House of Representatives. I commend her for being a voice for the most precious members of our society, our children and our seniors.
We must step up and engage in this most crucial debate. Nationalizing our health care system is a point of no return for government interference in the lives of its citizens. If we go down this path, there will be no turning back. Ronald Reagan once wrote, “Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth.” Let’s stop and think and make our voices heard before it’s too late.

Levi Johnson has gone where every man has gone before

More like Joey Buttafucco or John Bobbitt. He’ll probably end up doing some porn.

Wait, who’s Levi’s pimp..er..I mean agent?
unwashed minion on August 11, 2009 at 8:58 AM
Wow…is this for real?
“I slept with the VP candidates daughter, had a baby – who is actually mine – but I’ve disowned him so that I can be famous with the teenie boppers”
Even Kathy Griffin has probably at one time or another bashed men for leaving their children without a father – but this is hip for her? I know she tries to be a comedian, but give me a break…

Jeff from WI on August 11, 2009 at 10:56 AM
What’s Levi smiling about, he now has crabs.
Jeff from WI on August 11, 2009 at 10:57 AM
I hope more teens choose not to f*** this idiot, otherwise they deserve a Lifetime Stupidity Award.

I can’t express in words how much i despise Kathy Griffin. She is the most unfunny hack ever to be on TV.

Kathy Griffin, proof that you can be dead inside and not know it!!!!
“I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus” — and claimed, “This award is my god now.”
Now, a chipper Griffin notes, “Two years ago, I told Jesus to suck it, and this year they asked me to host the same show! Who would’a thunk it!? You know, being offensive does pay off every so often. You know why? Because I’m a believer in truth, a big truth teller. Let’s just spin it that way.”

HOLY SHIT! Is this the same Levi? HAHAHA!!! Awesome!
We all know who wears the Levi’s in that relationship.

Kathy Griffin is just looking for a guy with proven motile sperm (for once).
