Most folks seem to feel Levi Johnston is exploiting fame, a task he wouldn’t achieve alone, but I think he’s sincere; in a huge stew, but not taking the risk of lies.
Me and Mrs. Palin, at Vanity Fair
“After Tripp was born, Sarah would pay more attention to our son than she would to her own baby, Trig. Sarah has a weird sense of humor. When she came home from work, Bristol and I would be holding Trig and Tripp. Sarah would call Trig—who was born with Down syndrome—’my little Down’s baby.’ But I couldn’t believe it when she would come over to us and sometimes say, playing around, ‘No, I don’t want the retarded baby—I want the other one,’ and pick up Tripp. That was just her—even her kids were used to it.”
As a commenter roughly characterizes Levi, as easily pointing to Sarah Palin, “It’s kind of sobering to see so much assassination applied to such little character.”
