I don't see any backlash on Levi Johnston at all. As a matter of fact he is getting more popular in blog write ups. This writer seems a bit out of touch.

Yah, I'm thinking Levi isn't so much of a dim bulb, he's actually rather astute. He's figuring out how to maximize his 15 minutes, balancing the cheesy with the semi-interesting. That, I think, could take some people a good while to learn. Hell, even Palin can't seem to finesse the media the same way this oily bohunk has seemed to. Impressive. He may burn out quickly, but the thing that's seemed to keep him alive so far, is doing the rather unpredictable. Other than the natural cheese of Playgirl, I await his next thing...an essay in the New Yorker, a guest spot on the new Melrose Place (that's going to be awful), riding motorcycles with Clooney, Top Chef judge....you just don't know. You just don't know.

Or VH1 is currently working on, Flavor of My Baby Daddy's Bastard Hockey Stick.

@Spirit Fingers: did you see him on Larry King with Kathy Griffin? Darling. He was so low-key and shy, but he got the joke and worked quite well with KG.

I would love to follow this lamb as he emerges from Wasilla backwardness to Big City tolerance and awareness. (I'm not saying that everyone in Wasilla is a dummy either...).

Sarah Palin was a mayor and then a governor with administrative responsibilities before she was picked as a vice presidential candidate.

Obama had only been a senator for a couple of years--MY senator--before he started running for President full time. He never held an administrative position.

@CarolynKay: Which is frightening if you think about it. People voted twice for a woman who can't string a coherent sentence together on any subject other than hunting. Of course people also voted for Bush twice, which proved to be the worst administration in US history.
I'm sorry, what was your point again?

Further proof that I am not really people.

I had the chance to drive through Wasilla recently on my way to Denali. I would hop on any chance to get out too.

I agree with most of this, but I think if anyone should be allowed to be a fame-whore, it would be Bristol, since she has a lot more of a connection to Sarah than does Levi. But that won't happen, as she has to stay home and take care of the baby. I feel sorry for her and the kid more than anyone else. She comes from a nutso family, but can't escape because of the baby.

@lalaland13: seriously. I get almost weepy when I think of that pretty girl and her child.

And who is raising the baby with Down Syndrome? Piper and Willow? I shudder to think of that household. Chef Boy-ar-dee, diapers and guns.

Who's minding the store?

I really think the term "gay icon" is thrown about in general more than it should be. I seriously doubt Levi Johnston is a gay icon or ever will be. Sex symbol maybe but gay icon? He isn't gay, he's not doing anything particularly important for gay people besides giving them masturbation fodder and in fact, I would bet he is more than likely under the impression that Playgirl is read exclusively by women.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's kind of adorable now but gay icon? I don't think so.

@reluctantwhore: You just don't understand what the term means then. If it is primarily gay people who remain interested in him and are responsible for his spotlight, then he's a "gay icon". That's obviously not where he is just now, but Gawker's just predicting/hoping that's where he'll end up. He was Kathy Griffin's date, and who other than the gays would ever give a shit about that?

Collins begins her argument with: "Given the fact that Johnston is a 19-year-old high school dropout whose mother was arrested last year on six felony drug counts, it is conceivable that he is not the perfect arbiter of normal families." No, Gail, that would make him a qualified arbiter of bad parenting.

Now that we know they both had the same endeavor in mind (i.e., pseudo-stardom via professional, paid appearances) it feels like more of a rivalry for the spotlight than anything else, and I'd have to say, Levi is winning hands down.

The Universe really does take care of the simple people. There's no need to worry about this kid--he's got it made no matter what.

He's a not-very-bright, opportunistic burgeoning gay icon who is making the most of his very limited shelf life.

She's a street-smart bad girl from the wrong side of the tracks.

I strongly believe that the efforts of Graydon Carter at Vanity Fair (and other liberal media) to use Levi Johnston to smear Sarah Palin is going to bite them in their bony asses because it makes Sarah look like the victim. This is total overkill. (And I say this as a diehard Lyndon LaRouche Democrat.)

@Fancy Pants: Sarah Palin is wholly responsible for Levi being in the spotlight. Graydon Carter didn't tell her to say yes to McCain when she knew her daughter was knocked up.

I couldn't give a rat's ass what happens to Sarah Palin but I'm worried about Levi cause he's plain dumb and easy manipulated.

Levi reminds me of Joe Buck (from Midnight Cowboy) just trying to make his way in the world and getting screwed by all the Ratsos out there.
