Levi Johnston threatens Palin: I’m fully prepared to leak stuff about you
posted at 7:40 pm on October 27, 2009 by Allahpundit
The media’s been pointing to the balloon boy story as the ne plus ultra of celebrity-seeking scumbaggery, but there’s an even better example around, isn’t there?
Honestly, at this point, the most rational interpretation of his behavior is that he’s trying to get people to hate him.
“Sounds like you really resent her now,” she asks Levi during the interview, which was taped in advance.
“Well now I’ve heard all the things she’s said. You know, the Sarah Palin I knew before, it was — it was her putting on a front, it was her being fake to me and now that everything’s slowly coming out and I’m hearing more things, you know, and things she’s said and done, you know, I see the real Palin,” Levi responds, before stepping through the looking glass:…
Maggie: That’s what it sounds like…somebody whose bent on revenge and getting even, ‘now it’s my turn’.
Levi: Well that’s part of it, I guess, but at the same time, you know, if she’s going to go out there and say things to me, about me, I’m going to leak some things on her. I mean that’s just how it is.
“I’m going to leak some things on her” is only his second-most memorable quote of the day. The most memorable: “I just get naked. That’s what I do.” I remember writing about this turd a few months ago and speculating that between his treachery and his willingness to stoop to the depths of Playgirl for attention, he’d destroy his credibility as a source for Palin’s enemies before the primaries ever got going. Maybe I was wrong, though. The excerpted bit above comes from a transcript of tomorrow’s Early Show on CBS. If they’re willing to take him seriously enough to put him on the air now, why wouldn’t they be willing two years from now? Evidently he’ll do anything for a buck, so lord only knows what he’d accuse her of if the price is right. Think our crack, fact-checking, fair and balanced media will be scrutinizing his accusations any more intensely than they did, say, those racist quotes attributed to Rush Limbaugh?
Speaking of the primaries, her fans at Team Sarah are trying to organize a speaking event for her … in Iowa. Hmmm.

What? The Playgirl gig didn’t pan out?
iceman1960 on October 27, 2009 at 7:42 PM
If that little attention whore had anything to leak he would have already done it.
boomer on October 27, 2009 at 7:44 PM
If the Career Destroyers on the Left were brazen enough to run with lies about Limbaugh, airing the garbage that Lvi spews out will be no problem at all.
kingsjester on October 27, 2009 at 7:44 PM
I believe a “Go for it champ” is in order. By the way does he ever bother to wonder what he is going to tell his kid in 15 years about why he decided to try and destroy his grandmother and family?
rob verdi on October 27, 2009 at 7:44 PM
He is being funded by somebody.
WisCon on October 27, 2009 at 7:44 PM
Nothing to see so Playgirl moved on.
Kissmygrits on October 27, 2009 at 7:45 PM
This young man had better start looking over his shoulder. His attention is on the wrong Palin, and I wonder what Todd’s tolerance level is.
Just A Grunt on October 27, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Scum.
Connie on October 27, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Oh, no. Child-abandoning nude models are anti-Palin. What will we do?
Ronnie on October 27, 2009 at 7:45 PM
I hope he ends up in jail and all the fellas wanna re-enact his Playgirl shoot.
D0WNT0WN on October 27, 2009 at 7:45 PM
So Acorn is not news , but the MSM think this is..
the_nile on October 27, 2009 at 7:46 PM
I’m sure I speak for every gay man when I say that I will never, EVER, criticize him for this. lol.
It's Vintage, Duh on October 27, 2009 at 7:46 PM
I bet money we’ll see stories about Levi in rehab someday.
Just sayin.
iceman1960 on October 27, 2009 at 7:46 PM
I think the world has had far too many of Johnston’s “leaks,” to be honest.
BKennedy on October 27, 2009 at 7:47 PM
EXCELLENT!
upinak on October 27, 2009 at 7:47 PM
Exit question:
Who is the bigger A-hole; Chuckles Johnson or Levi?
O man I nailed two birds with one stone.
Geochelone on October 27, 2009 at 7:47 PM
I’m sure he’ll make an excellent father.
BadgerHawk on October 27, 2009 at 7:47 PM
Somebody needs to beat the crap out of this weasel.
Knucklehead on October 27, 2009 at 7:47 PM
#1. The Playgirl shoot is to come.
#2. “If that little attention whore had anything to leak he would have already done it.” (exactly)
Marcus on October 27, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Bring it on, buttmunch.
Boy, do I hate this kid.
NoLeftTurn on October 27, 2009 at 7:48 PM
I bet Todd has some friends who can toss wrenches that way 20 pounds around like they are toothpicks. Time for a couple of them to have a little talk with Levi, and give him a quick lesson in
life or death, er, right and wrong.smellthecoffee on October 27, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Agree. Let him tell everything he thinks he knows. Get it all out, now, years before any primary takes place.
Besides, the public may be so tired of Palin “gotchas” from the media now that it might not change many minds regardless of what he spouts.
JoeinTX on October 27, 2009 at 7:48 PM
The Enquirer is more classy everyday.
jukin on October 27, 2009 at 7:48 PM
It isn’t like I don’t know where he works out. There are only SO MANY gyms in Wasilla. LMFAO!
upinak on October 27, 2009 at 7:49 PM
He will be on MSNBC every night if Palin enters the primaries.
Speedwagon82 on October 27, 2009 at 7:49 PM
To LJ: Shut up and get naked!
Michelle Dubois on October 27, 2009 at 7:49 PM
I can’t wait until Todd breaks that little f*cker’s neck.
KSgop on October 27, 2009 at 7:49 PM
Levi Johnston is the Jon Gosselin of the Meghan McCain set. Vapid scumbag whose only gets attention by trashing conservatives.
BTW, I hope he does the naked photo-shoot and it’s used to seriously curtail custodial rights. A child has no business being around this loser.
highhopes on October 27, 2009 at 7:49 PM
That’s hilarious!!! I’m pretty sure Sarah has forgotten everything about this turd. Except for the fact that he happens to be the sperm donor to her grandchild, he’d have been swallowed up by obscurity long ago.
4shoes on October 27, 2009 at 7:49 PM
If Palin were a democrat, the media would have security use “Levi’s” head to open the door as they throw him out.
perroviejo on October 27, 2009 at 7:49 PM
“Way?” No way. “Weigh.”
smellthecoffee on October 27, 2009 at 7:49 PM
WHy is Levi Johnson still around? Do you know how easy it is to dispose of a body in Alaska?
Holger on October 27, 2009 at 7:49 PM
I’m sad for Bristol that this idiot is the father of her child, and I’m sad for the child to have this idiot’s genes.
Josiah on October 27, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Levi, your 15 minutes were up a LONG time ago…
please leave the stage for cripes sake…
cmsinaz on October 27, 2009 at 7:50 PM
If it isn’t already happening I think giving this guy a voice will eventually backfire. CBS has always had it out for Sarah, they must be desperate for ratings and this could not only turn people in disgust away from Levi but from CBS too. Enough is enough already.
Daemonocracy on October 27, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Let’s have no illusions here. If Charles Manson claimed to have something to leak about Palin, the MSM would be reporting it from out in front of the penitentiary like nothing was up.
Kataklysmic on October 27, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Would that not be just great. Smearing your child’s grandmother. SCUM
CWforFreedom on October 27, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Patting Allah Pundit on the back of the hand. Now, now, there’s no need to be afwaid of Early Show on CBS.
Marcus on October 27, 2009 at 7:50 PM
Now you are teasing us. We will give you cookies to go kick azz. Please!
Geochelone on October 27, 2009 at 7:51 PM
Well isn’t that the level of intellectual ability needed to be an authoritative liberal? (Think Pamela Anderson). With so many politicians worried about their “legacy”, I wonder if he’s stopped to think how he’ll be regarded in 10-20 years. He needs to be told to make LOTS of money now because no one needs a has-been maggot.
oldleprechaun on October 27, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Come on guys and gals –
The kid is pooping his pants right now in AK. People leave him alone, but I haven’t heard any of my friends talking about him being at bars. The kid is worried someone is out to get him and he knows it and he doesn’t come OUT at night.
Need I say more?
upinak on October 27, 2009 at 7:52 PM
The media will use Levi just like they used Cindy Shehan.
Remember Cindy? I thought not.
iceman1960 on October 27, 2009 at 7:52 PM
Levi’s son is going to hate his father when he’s older.
Christina_M on October 27, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Stories? The little attention whore wouldn’t be going into rehab unless it is part of one of those reality television programs. Likewise, don’t rule out any other reality show from Dancing with the Stars, to The Bachelor, to the crap that MTV broadcasts.
highhopes on October 27, 2009 at 7:53 PM
How could this idiot possibly harm her? She’ll still post to her facebook and try to stump for candidates who politely ask her not to do so.
TheBlueSite on October 27, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Why would anyone interview him or put him on TV?
Sleaze at it’s best. Oh well, I guess when you have nothing else and you’re clearly not FOX, you’ll take any piece of trash willing to come on.
ORconservative on October 27, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Yes, thank you helping him out.
I usually just go to huff-n-tatas when I want some “Levi-shows-junk” stories, but fortunately for me, I can now find these stories at Hot Air.
MeatHeadinCA on October 27, 2009 at 7:54 PM
I feel horrible for Tripp, having such a scumbag for a father.
LibertarianRepublican on October 27, 2009 at 7:54 PM
boomer on October 27, 2009 at 7:44 PM
I don’t agree with you. Levi’s strings are being pulled by two African-American gentlemen from Alaska who for all intents and purposes are in cahoots with billionaires aligned with Obama and George Soros. They have purposely held back info on Sarah (false of course) until the appropriate time.
Levi is like the goon hockey player sent on the ice to injure or take the opposition’s best player out of the game.
Sarah Palin is now dangerous to Obama. If Hoffman is elected the Dems knows her credibility will go through the roof.
That is his purpose. He will say anything he is told to aay. He does not know what the word fabricate means. He is the modern day Judas except he has been paid way more than 30 pieces of silver.
technopeasant on October 27, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Does anyone really NOT believe that things will end up badly for Levi?
thirteen28 on October 27, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Wasilla is a 40 minute drive north of me and he goes to the gym when either no one is there or when very few are there. He doesn’t work out with other people and doesn’t stick around as he has already been harrassed.
It wasn’t me… but I wish it was.
upinak on October 27, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Levi is a cautionary tale I will share with my daughter when she is older….see what happens when you lie down with dogs?
ihasurnominashun on October 27, 2009 at 7:55 PM
FIFY
JohnGalt23 on October 27, 2009 at 7:55 PM
thirteen28 on October 27, 2009 at 7:54 PM
Please, stop with your charitable Christian nonsense. I don’t care if Levi burns in hell. Excuse my French.
technopeasant on October 27, 2009 at 7:56 PM
One thing is for sure, that boy has a long way to go before being a man.
fourdeucer on October 27, 2009 at 7:56 PM
After dating Kathy Griffin I bet he “leaks stuff” all the time.
29Victor on October 27, 2009 at 7:56 PM
He is being funded by somebody.
WisCon on October 27, 2009 at 7:44 PM
My money’s on the RNC!
heshtesh on October 27, 2009 at 7:56 PM
Correct me if I’m wrong but…Allah…
This piece almost sounds like you’re defending our beloved Sarah…
Ahhhhh… you ol’ softy you…
jerrytbg on October 27, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Levi will not turn out very well.
I’d feel sorry for him if he would go away.
ORconservative on October 27, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Whats this, Allah defending Sarah?
SHARPTOOTH on October 27, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Nice. But Allah wants a Republican candidate that “CBS Morning Show” won’t go after. Possibly Michelle Obama.
Marcus on October 27, 2009 at 7:57 PM
Naked and leaking is no way to go through life, son.
Ronnie on October 27, 2009 at 7:57 PM
I wonder if Charlie Gibson has heard about this story.
Joe Caps on October 27, 2009 at 7:58 PM
Please leak whatever you’ve got, boy. It’ll save time later on.
spmat on October 27, 2009 at 7:58 PM
I’m wondering if Palin can sue him for defamation if he goes for it? She’s got some bucks…she shouldn’t threaten…just do it.
AUINSC on October 27, 2009 at 7:58 PM
Levi must have forgotten that Track Palin has been trained to kill a man bare-handed. Just sayin’.
jimmy2shoes on October 27, 2009 at 7:58 PM
And therefore…we put up Sarah Palin and break him headon, right?
BTW what kind of ijiot knocks up somebody’s teenage daughter and then gets in a snit about their “front” with him? Behind the smiley grandma-face, she was like, totally hatin’, dog!
Chris_Balsz on October 27, 2009 at 7:58 PM
Yeah, that’s why Hot Air is the place for all your Levi Johnston news.
Ronnie on October 27, 2009 at 7:58 PM
I for one hope his ‘naked leaking’ nets him a lot of money.
For child support.
poteen on October 27, 2009 at 7:58 PM
If someone rammed Mr Johnston’s teeth down his windpipe, the press would be screaming that Sarah didn’t report the effort as a campaign contribution.
JEM on October 27, 2009 at 7:59 PM
I wonder… does the Zero in the WH believe that CBS’s news counts as ‘real’?
RalphyBoy on October 27, 2009 at 7:59 PM
Allahpundit, the answer to your question is simple. They won’t bother factchecking anything. Because if they were going to fact check, then they wouldn’t have ignored the most obvious lie he told. When he says “if she’s going to go out there and say things to me, about me,” he’s already told a lie. Sarah herself has said nothing — ZERO about or to him in public. The only thing that comes to mind is months and months ago when she said “over my dead body would I knowingly let to teenagers sleep together under my roof.” If they were going to fact check, they would ask him what she leaked or said about him, because it’s been a resounding nothing.
Moreover, I’m confused as to why they would believe that he has anything left to leak. He’s already stooped so slow as to sling allegations about her saying things like “I don’t want that retarded baby,” which is
totally at odds with any sensical interpretation of Palin. I’m not saying she’s perfect, but such a claim is absurd to accuse anyone of. I mean who says that? Let alone about their own baby. I have never in my life heard a person call a handicapped baby “that retard baby,” especially not people affected by a special needs child of their own.
But that’s besides the point. The point is this: if he’s already thrown out things like that, why would the media or anyone else assume he has any scruples left to speak of? Do they think he has anything worse on her than he’s claimed? Do they think he is protecting her out of the goodness of his heart? Let’s pretend everything he’s said thus far is true, which it’s not. Even if it was, he’s done interview after interview, even an “essay” each time coming up with newer and crazier fabricated tales of her personal life. At what point are his stories tapped out? It’s not like
he’s still hanging around the Palin house. Where does he keep getting these new stories? Magical.
KeTyWr on October 27, 2009 at 8:00 PM
We all know Levi is scum. But if the drive-bys are stupid enough to hitch their anti-Palin bandwagon to him, they’ll destroy whatever shred of credibility they have left. That and the backlash will benefit Palin so much that the smears will have the opposite effect.
Doughboy on October 27, 2009 at 8:00 PM
I’m sure the usual left-wing sites will give him all the exposure (pun referencing Playgirl semi-intended) he wants… CBS, MSNBC, NY Times, PuffHos, WaPo, etc.
malclave on October 27, 2009 at 8:00 PM
Congrats to the latest sit in host for Keith Olbermann…..
JeffinOrlando on October 27, 2009 at 8:00 PM
I see Meth and a rusted ford pickup in his future
CWforFreedom on October 27, 2009 at 8:01 PM
like someone else said if Levi had anything on Palin he would have leaked that MONTHS ago. I dont believe anything he says
ousoonerfan15 on October 27, 2009 at 8:01 PM
Surely a snow machine accident can be arranged. “Mrs. Clinton? Call for you on line one!”
Kafir on October 27, 2009 at 8:02 PM
K-street whore.
John the Libertarian on October 27, 2009 at 8:02 PM
I said this already days ago, but he will likely be part of a smear campaign a day or 2 before the Oprah interview, so Sarah gets a gotcha question planted by Axelrod.
faraway on October 27, 2009 at 8:02 PM
Pffffft! Sure, Levi. It’s all about YOU, man.
All I can say is, he must be TOTALLY cut off from the Palins at this point. Why else would he be saying things that are this dillholery?
Also…CBS. Really? Couldn’t get someone who was actually around Palin when she wrote the book?
unwashed minion on October 27, 2009 at 8:02 PM
They couldn’t possibly fact-check it any less than the completely bogus “excerpt from Obama’s college thesis” you posted in the headlines here a few days ago.
crr6 on October 27, 2009 at 8:03 PM
This is being organized by a bunch of billionaire communists who use Huff Poo, CBS etc as their fronts. They used some celebrity lawyers to seduce this disturbed kid and got him some hooked to Hollywood life and every time Sarah’s in the news they are going to dust him and bring him out.
promachus on October 27, 2009 at 8:03 PM
Yeah, I’ve always felt that the brightest game plan in life was to piss off extended family members who get million-dollar book advances right before Christmas. Well played, genius.
Ronnie on October 27, 2009 at 8:03 PM
I think Levi has got some kind of coach or agent who keeps feeding him his anti Sarah lines. He’s been told this kind of stuff will keep him on the chat shows and keep the money flowing. As long as Sarah Palin is in the lime light, Levi will be. As long as he is told what to say this kind of stuff the media will want to interview him.
Will he be on Oprah after Sarah to discuss her book? I wouldn’t doubt it.
chris999 on October 27, 2009 at 8:03 PM
Oprah is a useful idiot (yeh I know she is stupid rich) but she will go right along.
CWforFreedom on October 27, 2009 at 8:03 PM
Then, a few days or weeks later, the allegations will be proven false.
They have already tried this out on Rush. That was a practice run.
faraway on October 27, 2009 at 8:03 PM
Yep… and the reason I don’t want her to go on Oprah’s show.
upinak on October 27, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Heh.
BadgerHawk on October 27, 2009 at 8:04 PM
And because of that fact checking should not be expected
/sarc
You are such a tool
CWforFreedom on October 27, 2009 at 8:04 PM
He clearly wants attention. What is he doing hanging around in Alaska? Shouldn’t he be finding an apartment in West Hollywood and auditioning for the acting roles he wants?
highhopes on October 27, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Levi isn’t bright enough to hold out dirt on someone.
iceman1960 on October 27, 2009 at 8:04 PM
This rube is so dense he does`nt even see how he`s being used as a pawn. In time he will be most likely wind up in a mug shot somewhere after he has ripped thru his 15 minutes of fame n fortune. It would be in his best interest to save whatever $$ he garners via pimping his mouth and privates to the world so`s he pay his legal bills for the ensuing slander/defamation suit.
NY Conservative on October 27, 2009 at 8:05 PM

About what a day laborer gets per week…if he really works…
30x$17…just being techno accurate…;)
After all is said and done he’ll go the way of that Babbatt guy…hopefully with, what happened to him.
jerrytbg on October 27, 2009 at 8:05 PM
The zoom lens wasn’t powerful enough and they forgot to bring a microscope.
The camera people were pissed off sayin: “Hey Levi where’s the beef?”
His fish was too small so they had to throw it back in.
He could have fruit fly sex though. He is a stud in their compound eyes.
Geochelone on October 27, 2009 at 8:05 PM
I see a “choked on vomit” death in this kid’s future.
Erich66 on October 27, 2009 at 8:06 PM
this line of thinking implies he will actually be INVOLVED in his child’s life in any meaningful way.
NY Conservative on October 27, 2009 at 8:07 PM
What could he leak that the McCain campaign hasn’t?
SouthernGent on October 27, 2009 at 8:07 PM
Perhaps President Palin will institute the draft just for little Alaskan scumbags. I think he would be excellent at clearing landmines in Afghanastan.
Paul in Poco on October 27, 2009 at 8:07 PM
HaHa. It’s snowing in Fort Marcy Park. Run Levi Run.
