Celebrity parasite: I’m sorry that I was sorry for being a jackass
posted at 5:55 pm on August 27, 2010 by Allahpundit
Many of you read the article last night, but trust me — you can’t get the full flavor of his remarks without the monotone. Serious question: At this point, how much of the press’s fascination with this bottom-feeder is due to (a) his willingness to dish dirt on Palin versus (b) just the sheer spectacle of his astounding shamelessness? If you think it must be all (a) and not (b), have a look at this highlight reel of talking heads sneering at him on camera. He’s practically a media in-joke at this point. And his existence flatters them too, of course. He is, after all, a red-stater and self-described “redneck” who’s very, very desperate for their attention/approval, and they … quite like that dynamic. Factor in his gossiping about one of their archenemies and it’s no surprise he’s getting four-minute segments on a major broadcast network’s morning show. Exit question: Why not cut out the middleman and make him CBS’s official Hollywood cub reporter? He’d be like Luke Russert, except way creepier.

Very funny, and clever, Blake!
Thanks.
Question: I like to listen to Tito Puente (e.g. “Ran Kan Kan”), Cachao, Charlie Parker, Oscar Peterson, Jimmy Bruno (Jazz guitarist), George Benson, Manuel Baruecco (Classical Guitarist), Keali’i Reichel, George Benson, Jimmy Hendrix, Blood Sweat and Tears, the Beach Boys, Temptations, Four Tops, Sinatra, Mel Torme, Nat “King” Cole, Ellla Fitzgerald (small sample) and the following styles (mainly) Jazz, African, Afro-Caribbean, Hawaiian, Indian (India), Latin, Swing, Classical, Rock, Country, Cajun music.
Based on my choice of music, am I an Alpha Male?

I meant to say “first”

Whatever it was, it made me swoon! :-)
Mary in LA on August 27, 2010 at 6:49 PM
K. Let CBS know!!!
joejm65 on August 27, 2010 at 6:52 PM
I don’t know. It does prove you have great taste though.
portlandon on August 27, 2010 at 6:53 PM
Yes. Tito Puente sweats Alpha beads…
joejm65 on August 27, 2010 at 6:53 PM
Wow, you got to go drinking with those two? You lucky dog! You must have some stories to tell. :-)
Mary in LA on August 27, 2010 at 6:53 PM
now it’s getting deep….. Knock what back pray tell? those cute lil’ jello shooters?
ted c on August 27, 2010 at 6:58 PM
Allah can really knock down those Shirley Temples.

Betty Nguyen wrote yesterday on Facebook that she was set to interview Levi Johnston, then she asked her Facebook friends for suggestions what to ask him. I’m afraid I now shall be hard pressed to take Miss Nguyen seriously as a journalist.
radjah shelduck on August 27, 2010 at 7:02 PM
No, no, no! However, they’ve both written enough about it. When Ace has been confronted he admits he’s a two light beers guy. AP enjoys fine whiskey and copious amounts of beer. For Christmas, you can send AP a bottle of Macallan and Ace two Miller Lites.
Blake on August 27, 2010 at 7:04 PM
“You got Jell-o in my vodka!”
“You got vodka in my Jell-o!”
Two great tastes that don’t taste great together. Blecch! :-P
/IMHO
/all my Jell-o shooters are belong to you

Hey Levi Snow White called she’s hiring another dwarf. The job has great bennies. You’ll get a monogramed uniform that says ‘SLEEZY’.

“Boxers or briefs?”

Mary in LA on August 27, 2010 at 7:10 PM
To borrow a phrase from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, CBS and Levi “Mini” Johnson are “for me to POOP on!“
ornery_independent on August 27, 2010 at 7:11 PM
I don’t even drink whiskey but don’t these look tasty?
Blake on August 27, 2010 at 7:14 PM
They do indeed, but it looks like for Christmas I could only afford to send AP a molecule of that $38K MacAllan.
Mary in LA on August 27, 2010 at 7:16 PM
OK must we have so many threads involving this irrelevant sh*t streak ?? Does anyone really give a flying rat’s d*ck??
cableguy615 on August 27, 2010 at 7:18 PM
It’s sold out. But you can still buy a dram for $3,300. There are 60 drops in a dram so 1 drop would be $55 bucks. But click on the bottom link: See our list of the most expensive whiskies in the world. I can’t link it directly. There are plenty of economy priced bottles that would entice a young blogger.
Blake on August 27, 2010 at 7:22 PM
You know what would make great reality TV? Have CBS’ favorite celebrity parasite give Harry Smith colonoscopies each day. You know Smith would really enjoy having Ricky Hollywood further up his @ss.
OxyCon on August 27, 2010 at 7:26 PM
Only those who click, read, and post.
a capella on August 27, 2010 at 7:34 PM
Geez, that reporter interviewing that scum bag is hawt. Too bad, she’s a leftist….
Tim Burton on August 27, 2010 at 7:36 PM
Click, read, post, down a shot!
Blake on August 27, 2010 at 7:38 PM
Ah, but threads like these are ideal to go completely off-topic in! See above discussion of whiskey. :-)
Mary in LA on August 27, 2010 at 7:39 PM
Exactly ! I just dropped in to vent !
Happy Friday ! Bottoms up ! :-)
cableguy615 on August 27, 2010 at 7:46 PM
*clink*! :-)
Mary in LA on August 27, 2010 at 7:55 PM
Ugh.
He sounds like Joran van der Sloot
lansing quaker on August 27, 2010 at 8:04 PM
There are only two words to describe Ricky H. White Trash.
JimP on August 27, 2010 at 8:16 PM
Levi is one of the stars of HA, and it’s because HA is first a business and it’s about traffic. Sure he’s a dirtbag, but look at the number of comments. It’s nice to hope that HA has higher motives, and perhaps they are there secondarily, but first you have to keep the lights on. Levi threads do that.
slickwillie2001 on August 27, 2010 at 8:22 PM
Time,
I was thinking along those lines while I wasted those few minutes of my life, being polluted with that swine’s (What’s that guy’s name again? – Rabid Johnstone, Ravi Jack stone, Ricki Jack Wagon, Rafer Jag Cracker, Lenny Cracked head, Levi Landed-on-his-head, Levi the Maniac?) nonsense.
I am or was thinking, “I wish they would keep the camera on that female reporter. She looks very good,” and “I wish they’d stop showing that horse’s ass, and show us the reporter instead.”
William2006 on August 27, 2010 at 8:29 PM
Alpha males don’t care if people like what they listen to. They like what they like.
Bobbertsan on August 27, 2010 at 8:36 PM
OK, I give up. Track is one of the men. Who’s the other?
Bobbertsan on August 27, 2010 at 8:52 PM
Oh, goody, this was moved into the must-keep LEFT COLUMN so we get to look at Levi for days and days and days. Yay!
Marcus on August 27, 2010 at 9:31 PM
Face it, kids, we all want him to get Kathy Griffin mightily knocked up and with child so we can fill a thousand comment thread with Loads o’ Snark.
However, after Bristol’s misadventure with Mr. Stand Up Guy, I don’t think Kathy will sleep with this guy again before she gets her tubes tied.
victor82 on August 27, 2010 at 9:34 PM
Can’t get enough Levi! Levi and Bristol! King and Queen of the coveted LEFT COLUMN top picks!
Marcus on August 27, 2010 at 9:41 PM
Just a bit thin-skinned tonight, huh.
Kjeil on August 27, 2010 at 9:50 PM
I feel sorry for this kid. He was wined and dined by the Gestapo to get dirt on the one person it wishes to malign. He is a poor, lost soul. Hopefully this kid will survive all of this and move on.
Hopefully.
Hening on August 27, 2010 at 9:51 PM
LOL!
Never been big on Levi in the first place, although I could see why a small-town high school girl might have thought he was “dreamy.”
Hopefully, Bristol will learn to keep her legs crossed until she hears “I do” and someone (hopefully Mom & Dad!) has vetted the man and made sure he’s not a complete loser like Levi.
The boy continues to amaze us all with how incredibly stupid and gullible he is.
So sad.
I hope the child got the good lucks but not the himbo brain.

Who’s the bigger fool? The fool or the millions of fools who provide these types of shows and segments with ratings?
reaganaut on August 28, 2010 at 4:10 AM
Well one bright spot is that Doofus Johnston actually got the reporter defending the mayorship of Wasilla as a serious responsibility [paraphrasing] “you know, it’s really a serious job; are you prepared for it?” As opposed to this other doofus.
inviolet on August 28, 2010 at 4:55 AM
Just one more example of “You can take the boy out of the trailer park but you can’t take the trailer park out of the boy.”
This guy should be ashamed of himself, but he has no sense. His 15 minutes are WAY over….
adamsmith on August 28, 2010 at 7:52 AM
Incredible . . . only the brain dead U.S. media would make a celebrity out of this pile of cow dung.
rplat on August 28, 2010 at 8:50 AM
I can’t wait for the media’s obsession with this worm to end. This guy wouldn’t be given the time of day were in not for his connection to Palin and it makes the media look even more ignorant for paying him notice. He’s a parasite with heavily gelled hair.
scalleywag on August 28, 2010 at 9:07 AM
Second only to the vile and reprehensibly beyond reproach Jon and Kate Gosselin, Levi Johnson is a prime textbook example of the fact that there are some people in this world who, under absolutely no circumstances whatsoever, should NEVER be allowed to obtain celebrity status of any caliber, manner, shape, or form.
pilamaye on August 28, 2010 at 9:31 AM
“Levi is done with marriage but hopes to have more children in the future…”
God help us all.
Amy Proctor on August 28, 2010 at 9:45 AM
Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
Now honestly, honestly who here would very much like to have Mr. Johnson have an “unfortunate hunting accident” somewhere up on the North Slope and NEVER be heard from again?
SgtSVJones on August 28, 2010 at 10:25 AM
The focus on Levi J because they hate Sarah P. Ponder this headline:
Kathy Griffin: Puts Levi Johnston on TV as ‘Middle Finger’ to Palin
Paul-Cincy on August 28, 2010 at 10:55 AM
A Young Michael Lohan — so gross.
Simona on August 28, 2010 at 11:17 AM
Levi Johnston (in extended monotone) – I’m sorry, but I really don’t know how NOT to be a jackass.
dissent555 on August 28, 2010 at 11:38 AM
This little tool has over borrowed on his 15 minutes of fame. While he may get an extension to say 16 or 17 minutes, he will soon be forgotten.
Bye Levi……hope you wise up and grow up soon. Otherwise life is going to be difficult for you very soon.
J.
JohnnyMojo on August 28, 2010 at 11:40 AM
The truth is, Levi is just “sorry”. He is a sorry excuse for a person. One day when he grows up I hope he really is sorry for the mistakes he is making now.
SgtRed on August 28, 2010 at 7:32 PM

This kid likes hitting bottom.
AnninCA on August 28, 2010 at 11:45 PM
I’m sorry for being sorry for being a jackass. Now I’m just a douchebag shamelessly sucking up to anyone who will pay some attention, and a little money. Later on, my career will consist of a spot on the panel of “World’s Dumbest” on Spike TV with other “F” listers like Danny Bonaduce.
