Palin Tells Barbara Walters She Didn’t Know Bristol And Levi Were Having Sex

» 11 comments

ABC Sarah PalinThe Going Rogue storm is swirling. And with the press winds blowing in anticipation of Sarah Palin’s forthcoming tell-all, the former candidate for Vice President has granted an interview to Barbara Walters, which will air next Friday in its entirety on 20/20. But before that, Good Morning America will be previewing clips beginning Tuesday, leading up to the bound-to-be-a-bombshell interview.

Early chatter about the talk indicates that the usual Palin dramas were fodder for more analysis, including the pregnancy of the former Alaska governor’s teenage daughter Bristol. “Truthfully, we were devastated,” Palin told Walters, admitting that she didn’t know her child was having sex before she was informed of the pregnancy.

The baby’s father — Levi Johnston — has stoked his own publicity flame with fervor lately, in anticipation of his own forthcoming print spectacular: an appearance in Playgirl. As of now, there’s nothing to indicate that Walters breached the Levi issue with Palin, but you can bet that we’ve yet to hear about the juiciest parts of the 20/20 talk.

Last week, 20/20 had a similar wave-making interview — the first with pop star Rihanna since her beating at the hands of Chris Brown — which was teased identically, with early preview segments airing throughout the week on Good Morning America. The ratings return was huge for Rihanna, but we all know Palin hates second place. We’ll be following throughout the week.

    I agree with former Gov. Palin.
    Considering that some view HER as the Messiah, it could have been an Immaculate Conception, right?

  • qwerty31

    If you’re going to be insulting, at least get your facts right. The Immaculate Conception was St Ann conceiving Mary without Original Sin, making the Annunciation possible – Mary’s conception of Jesus through the Holy Spirit & consequently without sex. The Annunciation is what you are attempting to mock.

    TinafromTampa — who is really NotSoAnonymous from mediabistro.com is a pathetic internet stalker, well known for her inane commentary and childish behavior. Well past time for her to take her meds and retire for ever.

    If I remember correctly Brisket Palin didn´t inform MAMA GRIZZLY PALIN that SHE was going on the Aunt Greta Van Susteren Show to spill the beans either! So why should Levi Johnston INFORM THEM!??? Palins own poor pudgey brow beaten young daughter had to SNEAK on television to tell the world that abstinence was NOT REALISTIC, she barely got the words out when the GESTAPO burst in and pulled the plug on her! It was scary! Sometiimes I fear for Brisket!!!Anyway, thank god, Levi was able to escape from the Palin Compound because any day now they will serving up the Jim Jones KOOLAID with the Moose & spam casserole.

    TinaFromTampa,

    Good to see you back commenting after your hasty departure from TVNewser!

  • TinaFromTampa

    same2u,
    Do not be confused.
    tft is actually the original TinaFromTampa.
    The new and improved TinaFromTampa would love to support Sarah Palin but when I learned she was a “fallen-away Catholic” I knew that no way, no how could I vote for her!
    So, I guess, it couldn’t have been an Immaculate Conception after all.
    Any way, Trapper is a pretty cute kid.
    (And a nice name for a notebook, too!)

  • same2u

    Oh I know, but it would have been more fun if you hadn’t fessed up.

  • TinaFromTampa

    Actually, the real fun is that there is undoudtedly someone out there, somewhere, who used to frequent a board with the User Name TfT.
    Now, they’re having to explain to their friends that they are in no way connected to the “loony” postings here from TfT.

    Wow… that’s a lot of planning for trying to attack someone anonymous blog identity.

    Pretty pathetic, really. Couldn’t you find a more worthwhile use of your time… volunteer or something. But to create personalities to try to “confuse” people, because of another board poster… really? Wow… that’s a lot of time you’ve got on your hands.

    Liberal hags have their fangs out tonight. Run, Sarah, Run!
