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.

Allapundit, you’re a jackass. There are hundreds of new stories out there and you pick this one? Are you drunk, or just stupid?

Book in January 2012 coming out accusing The Hillbilly of wanting to have sex with him, or trying to have sex with a goat or something like that.
It’s coming…….don’t doubt.
PappyD61 on August 27, 2010 at 6:06 PM
this young man is in a sorry state of confusion. He has a son, could’ve committed himself to a relationship that would’ve mattered—and he’s traded those relationships, as well as every shred of dignity that he has, for a 4 min fleeting BJ by Kathy Griffin before he gets kicked to the curb.

I’m sticking with my idea expressed on one of last night’s threads, which is that Track and Levi compete inside Thunderdome.
“Two men go in, only one comes out”.
listens2glenn on August 27, 2010 at 6:08 PM
You realize you don’t have to read the site or comment, right, NN? If you don’t realize it, I can help you realize it.
Not interested in a post? Skip it. Real easy.
Allahpundit on August 27, 2010 at 6:10 PM
LOL! The introduced the segment as an “exclusive.” WOW! CBS got an exclusive with someone who wants to be on camera 24/7. Heh.
terryannonline on August 27, 2010 at 6:11 PM
Come on, let’s not wish him dead. Disfigured, maybe. Not dead.
alwaysfiredup on August 27, 2010 at 6:11 PM
Good grief, I actually watched the interview.
The reporter played it straight, as if he’s a serious candidate.
SteveMG on August 27, 2010 at 6:12 PM
And by the way, quit being such a biased little shill. I could post a million dumber stories than this — viral videos, sports stuff, etc — and you’d never think to object. It’s only because there’s a Palin connection that you whine. If I write about Mitt Romney’s hair, you’ll be annoyed with that too, right? Oh, you won’t?
Allahpundit on August 27, 2010 at 6:12 PM
CBS News really has become a joke within the last 5 years. I don’t think they would’ve been this bad before Katie got there.
TimTebowSavesAmerica on August 27, 2010 at 6:13 PM

BTW, check out Treacher’s headline at DC… comedy gold!
Levi Johnston has never lied about anything, except for that one time when he apologized for lying about everything

I hope Levi gets on Twitter some day. His Twitter feed would better than 50 Cents. What a joke.
terryannonline on August 27, 2010 at 6:19 PM
As democrat prospects get worse, Levi’s prospects will get better. They are desperate and will be parading him all the more. Get use to it. It is funny that it is one of the big three – CBS who has him.
You sound exactly like a Levi Johnston fanboy. If you are, I have the girl for you! She’s an up and coming 2L -crr6. LOL
Blake on August 27, 2010 at 6:19 PM
So, aside from the juicy reading material for gossip wonks, who really cares about Levi Johnston?
Maybe he’ll be fodder for some Caribou, or Moose, or he’ll find his way too close to a Kodiak Bear cub and Momma Kodiak will give him a serioius butt whipping.
Whatever.
He comes off as a nasty person who I would not wish to be acquainted with.

AP, Here’s my vote for never, EVER, running a story about this guy on Hot Air again. He squandered his 15 minutes of fame long ago, and he’s both irrelevant and unworthy. Let the dinosaur media try and make a meal of what’s left of him.

Bishop on August 27, 2010 at 6:28 PM
I admit, that I used improper language in stating what I thought about your decision to bring this story to the site a second time. I thought posting about the CBS interview earlier in the headlines was probably enough. I apologize for my words. If there was a delete button here, I would have used it immediately once it posted.
As far as Romney’s hair goes, I doubt that you’d find that as something you’d want to post about, but if you do, I’ll let you know how much it annoys me. ;-)

I think of him as more of a sniper.
Blake on August 27, 2010 at 6:33 PM
Levi is a lying lil opportunist, and part of me gives him a little leeway, considering his young age, and obvious gullibility.
But I can’t help but feel even more contempt for the msms’ that give him any air time at all. It’s blatantly obvious why they do. For that, they get nothing but anger. They don’t try to hide it, and they’ve totally gone without any integrity or even class for doing so.
All the way around, Levi, and these buzzards deserve each other. May karma go easy on them, because at some point it will bite them in the collective arse.

Did Andrew Sullivan ever deal with the fact that Levi has paid child support and has some custody of this kid? Levi kinda makes Sullivan’s fascination with Sarah’s uterus somewhat moot, no?
