For some reason (probably because Palin’s PAC has kicked into high gear), Lawrence O’Donnell invited Sarah Palin‘s almost-former-son-in-law Levi Johnston onto his show yet again to discuss his sexual sexy sextastic book, Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin’s Crosshairs.

In his book, Johnston quotes Sarah Palin as saying she hated her job as Governor of Alaska because she would have rather been making money instead — a sentiment that O’Donnell believes is paramount in her decision to make people think she is a viable political candidate who merits time and attention in the national spotlight.

Levi Johnston‘s career/persona cannot be defined with with one simple descriptive. He isn’t just the father to Bristol Palin‘s child; nor is he just a part-time model for Playgirl magazine or aspiring actor. He is also, of course, a published author of a book called Deer in the Headlights. While promoting the book last night on The Joy Behar Show, Johnston shared a story about his sudden entry into the public eye back in August of 2008, and how RNC stylists quickly made him over in advance of the St. Paul GOP convention.

Looks like Levi Johnston‘s Deer in the Headlights will be a swinging rebuttle to Bristol Palin‘s own sort of accusatory memoir, Not Afraid Of Life. According to the AP, “Levi Johnston writes in his upcoming book that his ex-girlfriend Bristol Palin was so angry about her mother’s pregnancy with son Trig that she wanted to get pregnant, too.” And so, Bristol vengeful and Levi admittedly “too dumb” to use protection, the two decided sometime in March of 2008 to “get pregnant.” Whether or not they were decided on the “having a baby” part that follows remains undiscussed, but seems unlikely as the two split soon after Tripp‘s birth.

The release of 20-year-old Bristol Palin‘s new memoir, Not Afraid of Life, has gotten tongues wagging about everything from how exactly she conceived her child to just how much she got along with the McCain family during the 2008 campaign. During an interview with Sean Hannity tonight, the new author chatted about why she wrote a book and the experiences that have shaped her since becoming a household name.

You may be aware that there has been one persistent question surrounding a passage of Bristol Palin‘s new memoir wherein she describes her first ever sexual encounter, with then-boyfriend Levi Johnston, as being fueled by too many wine coolers. Was this young woman, people wanted to know, raped? Was she coerced into having sex? Could she have said no if she wanted to?

Palin is addressing those concerns, telling USA Today that the drunken encounter was “a dumb decision,” and sharing that she had agreed to it with the hope that she and Johnston would one day marry.

Bristol Palin, daughter of former Alaska governor and current Fox News contributor Sarah Palin, is coming out with a book, Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, in which she details the various reasons she dislikes various people. First up: Meghan McCain.

Nothing perks up a warm, muggy Thursday afternoon quite like checking in on Wasilla’s second… third… well, there’s…hmmm… seventeenth most famous export: Levi Johnston. Sadly, young Johnston has put his plans to overtake Hollywood on hold (a shame, because the fifth Fast and the Furious installment could really use his boyish charm), but that doesn’t mean he’ll quietly retreat into the shadows among the common riffraff. You see, Bristol Palin‘s former fiancé is currently angling for a spot on Oprah Winfrey‘s show.

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.

Leave it to Daily Kos to dig out the most disheartening poll for Sarah Palin‘s presidential ambitions possible: according to data compiled by the group Public Policy Polling, Palin doesn’t even stand a chance against known trainwrecks with no aspirations and even less qualifications to live in the White House. Yes, Sarah Palin is now trailing Charlie Sheen in certain presidential polls.

Comedian and self-proclaimed “D-lister” Kathy Griffin hosted VH1 Divas Salute the Troops which was taped for an audience of servicemen at the Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar, California, and aired last night. The ribald and unconventional comedian set the tone for the night when she joked about Bristol Palin and her supposed weight gain while competing with Dancing With The Stars. But the joke fell flat, as the military men and woman in attendance lustily booed the host for taking a shot at Sarah Palin‘s daughter.

Here’s a question. When was the last time you heard this segue: “You use the condom the first couple of times because you don’t know each other. Then you say, ‘Hey, I just f**cked you. I know you pretty well.’ … So, let’s talk about your mayoral run.” What? You’ve heard that zero times? Well, then come this way, my friend, and witness television history courtesy of Bill Maher and Levi Johnston

Apparently, Glenn Beck spent some time this weekend catching up with the political silly season. Beck, who was on fire tonight (perhaps due to an overdose of cookies and juice) launched into an excoriation of both last night’s New York gubernatorial debate (“can we outsource our Governor to India?”) and the media’s coverage of the midterm elections.

When Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston broke off their second engagement this summer, some speculated that the split was caused by news that Johnston may have impregnated his ex-girlfriend. Alaska’s former first daughter, though, had a different explanation.

Levi Johnston was a guest on Lawrence O’Donnell‘s second show last night, and after some talk about whether Johnston would be a “tea party Republican or establishment Republican” (“I’m not sure on that yet,” he said), O’Donnell started grilling the young political candidate/Playgirl model with policy questions.

If they sounded familiar, it’s because they were the exact same ones Katie Couric asked Sarah Palin during that infamous interview.

Greta Van Susteren had Bristol Palin on as her guest last night, finding time to talk about Palin’s participation in the hit competitive reality show Dancing With The Stars. One can only Imagine someone waking up from a two-year coma, watching the following clip then asking for bewildered explanation behind the numerous and strange cultural phenomena that have made this 19 year-old single mother and Jersey Shore‘s “The Situation” such relevant, nay, influential characters in today’s culture.

Celebrity mom Bristol Palin is beginning the media tour for her upcoming appearance on Dancing with the Stars, and last night it landed her on the couch of Jay Leno‘s Tonight Show. Leno went easy the younger Palin, giving her space to dance, laugh, and take a few jabs at her ex Levi Johnston.

The Early Show‘s Erica Hill warned viewers that they were all “about to see a whole lot more of Levi Johnston.” Considering the guy posed for Playgirl, that’s saying a lot. Still, it’s definitely true as he’s got both a reality show and a mayoral campaign coming up. Now that he’s finally separated from the Palin clan for good (except for, y’know, that whole child thing), he can speak freely about the big Mama Grizzly. He began his new-found freedom by completely retracting his apology to the family.

Who needs a silly Alaskan reality show when you can compete on Dancing With The Stars. E! is reporting that Bristol Palin is the latest person to be signed to compete on the upcoming season of the popular dance-off reality show.

There’s still no word on whether Levi Johnston has officially landed a reality television show deal, however it is official that he intends to run for Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. A post formerly held by his son’s grandmother Sarah Palin.

The Bristol Palin/Levi Johnston soap opera continues, much to the enjoyment of reality TV enthusiasts, but at the unfortunate cost of their son, Tripp, getting caught in the crossfire. Yesterday, a positive development between the teen parents finally arose after a month of engagements, break-ups, false pregnancies, and music videos: Bristol and Levi have agreed to share custody.

Levi Johnston was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, because, no he’s not a reality TV star yet, but he might be one day and, you know, what the hell. He’s sort of the reality star of our lives already.

The interview is friendly, but Kimmel’s pretty solid smackdown to end the segment leaves Johnston speechless.

Thus far all that the Internet has appeared to shed light on when it comes to politics is how many morons participate in it. Case in point. Some local New Hampshire Democrats took the death of Ted Stevens in an airplane crash earlier this week as an opportunity to wish death on Sarah Palin…also Levi.

Is Levi Johnston attempting to out-Palin Sarah Palin? That’s certainly what it sounds like. US Weekly is reporting that Johnston’s much-rumored reality show will actually focus on Johnston making a run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska…the same place Sarah Palin began her illustrious political career.

TMZ is reporting that Levi Johnston has signed a deal for his own, long-rumored, reality show. All is not smooth sailing, however. The site is also reporting that Levi and Bristol have split following rumors that Levi impregnated a woman he dated when he and Bristol were separated.

Apparently, Bristol and Levi are the Britney and Kevin. Take this with about a hundred grains of salt. Perez Hilton is ‘reporting‘ that the National Enquirer is ‘reporting’ (I can’t find anything on their site so it may only be in the print version) that Levi Johnston may (may!) have impregnated his ex-girlfriend while he and Bristol Palin were separated.
