Levi Johnston To Write Tell-All Book About Palins & His ‘Perplexing Fall From Grace’

How much “all” is there really left to “tell?” There have been so many books about the Sarah Palin’s time in the 2008 election and the Palin family as a whole that I think I could recall from memory the amount of tiles on their bathroom floor at this point. Seriously, whoever teaches English over in Wasilla needs to pat themselves on the back. That town spits out more writers than a Shakespeare factory. However, if there’s any point of view left that might still be interesting at this point, it’s this one; Levi Johnston’s.

Yes, Levi Johnston is writing a book and it has the absolutely amazing title, “Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs.” While this creates a slightly confusing combination of metaphors (is deer-Levi getting shot or run over?), it also brings to mind the absolutely hilarious image of Sarah Palin commandeering John McCain’s Straight Talk Express and using it to flatten helpless animals while Johnston (wearing antlers) can only watch from the tracks ahead. At least it does for me.

From the Los Angeles Times:

“‘Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs,’ is being billed as a coming-of-age story and is due out in the fall.

‘I want to tell the truth about my close relationship with the Palins, my sense of Sarah and my perplexing fall from grace — how I feel and what I’ve learned,’ Johnston said in a statement released by his publisher, Touchstone Publishing.

‘Levi is going to talk about everybody, including Sarah Palin, and the rest of the family — Bristol too,’ Johnston’s manager, Tank Johnson, told RadarOnline. ‘The book will have good stuff. He isn’t leaving anything out.’”

“Perplexing fall from grace?” That would imply that grace can only be obtained by playing hockey, going camping, hanging out with the boys, doing some fishing, shooting some sh*t and just f**kin’ chillin’ which…I really can’t argue with.

That brilliant words, of course, come from Johnston’s MySpace page which was scrubbed clean by the McCain team shortly after it was revealed that he was the father of a potential Vice-Presidential grandson. I remember reading that page and thinking, back in 2008, that Levi Johnston might have the greatest political story in our modern times. Just think about it. Some poor, everyday dope, a proud “f**cking redneck,” gets suddenly forced into a national election all because he forgot to wear a condom one time. The possibilities for poignant human comedy are absolutely endless. I’m being completely serious.

However, I’ve always thought the story would work best as a loosely fictionalized version à la Primary Colors, and I certainly never imagined it being written by the young man himself. Who knows, though. Maybe Johnston (or, ahem, his ghost writer) will surprise us. It definitely is a good story.

I thought Bill Clinton had already covered that territory.

The Schaudenfreude is so sweet. The final nail in the coffin which is Sarah Palin’s career will be driven by Levi Johnston of all people.

I have a feeling years from now Sarah will look back at the trainwreck which was her poltical/reality tv career and think ‘maybe I shouldn’t have burned every bridge I crossed”.

Nah she isn’t that reflective.

Does Barnes and Noble have a “Dirtbag” section ?

Every network will have this little worm on for an “interview ” .

Palins used him up, and threw him away, so why shouldn’t he finally tell the truth about these grifters? They have laughed all the way to the bank, if people want to read his book, why not?

Jon, what medicine are you or are you not taking?

Now taking bets……..which lame stream media outlet will be the first to ask Levi what he thinks about Trump asking questions about Obamas missing birth certificate?

“Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs.” While this creates a slightly confusing combination of metaphors (is deer-Levi getting shot or run over?)

Not confusing, Jon. It refers to jacking deer, and illegal activity where poachers go around in cars trying to blind deer with their headlights. After the deer is distracted, the poacher shoots them. No running over involved.
Rubbish book, by the way.
Cheers.

I seriously hope nobody’s going to try to give this joker legitimacy just because he’s jumping on the Shoot Palin Dead train.

He’s doing exactly what the queen of greed did – grab yourself a ghostwritter, put Pailn in the title and cha ching.

I have not heard about this “Shoot Sarah Dead” train. Sarah is no longer the GOP’s #1 wackadoodle. That dubious title now goes to The Donald. Blame Trump if you’re precious Sarah isn’t getting all the attention anymore.
redleaf

If this was Obama’s family, the right would be jumping out of their skulls bashing such a messed-up family.
Jerps

1. His manager is Tank Johnson? (Guess the NFL didn’t work out…)

2. Which book would be deeper, this or The Situation’s “Stuff I Thought About While Watching Sarah Palin on the News”?

3. Well, at least he’s still figuring out how to make money from this gravy train. I’m sure he’ll be the guest of honor on Joy Behar’s show.
TangledThorns

The only people who will buy this book are the hacks at Politico.

Ok now who is still listening to this fool! Oh wait the same people that believe that Obama is a good president!

Levi can read and write? Wow. I am impressed. And apparently he is mow able to gossip and exaggerate.

h/t Wonkette?
Fall from grace – was that before or after his Vanity Fair interview discussing the entire family, his CBS expose’ or maybe his debut in Playgirl? Gee- I can understand how this may be “perplexing” for a high school drop out redneck trying to figure out why the family doesn’t want him around.
I wonder if he’ll discuss his monthly child support checks or how much time he spends with his son?
WCinWI

I welcome him writing this book. Just one more reason for the courts to make it appropriate for him to NOT see his son.

So you’re the one who gives a crap what this snot says. Oh… you and Kathy Griffen.

Joel,

This post is the definitive example of “Hatred As a Spectator Sport”. Levi Johnson who has already admitted that he had been making up crap about the Palin famil, is now back on the Celbrity Whore train –promising to go after the whole Palin family– and your SOLE response is “Ooooo! Get the popcorn. Tee hee hee.”

Is he going to claim responsibility for giving Trig that extra 21st chromosome?

That would be the best new info he could offer.

We already know that about Palin. I agree, this guy is beating a dead moose.
remoriah

Anybody that caters to Kathy Griffen is a loser! Who in their right mind would read anything this sponge is squeezing out for money and a few more minutes of fame? I don’t think he is thinking about how this will effect his son in the future when he reads daddy’s book. Karma, anyone?

So is Clinton a greedy money whore with all the speaking fees he gets??? Oh ya and that whole selling pardons thingy. Just wondering if you consistent.

I think Levi just found his natural element with Wonkette.

Has this creep even thought about his son in later years when this will all still be out there?

I didn’t know that was in question although I’ve wondered.

I definitely would try to keep any child of mine as far away from him as I could in the same situation.

Heaven help us. If Levi Johnston writes a book, it will get more coverage from the liberal media than the deficit, the war front, and the economy combined. The leftists in the media have a feeding frenzy with this kind of nonsense, and they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse…Did anyone see Lyndsey Lohan GET A STANDING OVATION last night? WTF?

No, he’s never thought about anything other than himself, and how he can profit off his 15 minutes of fame.

Not hard to see why Bristol threw this piece of human debris overboard.

I haven’t read any replies yet but let me guess. The Palinites are already victims. Right?

He might be a redneck, but I think he is more literate than you are. I hoe he can use capitalization, unlike yourself.
