It seems that Levi Johnston is making the best of his time in the spotlight. He is a lucky guy, because if Sarah Palin was a liberal Democrat, he would not be on TV, radio, or commercials. Levi would just be another teenager fascinated with Hollywood.
Levi Johnston isn’t Sarah Palin’s friend, her husband, her business partner, her adviser, or even a staffer. To the contrary, he’s a 19-year-old kid who got to spend a little time around the family and their daughter.
Do you really think Sarah Palin is spilling her deepest, darkest secrets in front of Levi? Do you think she’d talk about divorcing her husband in front of him? Do you think she’d call her son a “retard” in his presence? Common sense says “no.”
Of course, anything’s possible and common sense isn’t always common. But if someone’s lying, who do you think it’s more likely to be?
The woman who knowingly chose to have and raise a child with Down syndrome or the kid who parlayed being the source of malicious gossip about Sarah Palin into a pistachio commercial? Who’s lying? A woman who made a reputation for herself fighting corruption in politics or a kid who now refers to himself as Ricky Hollywood?
