Palin spokeswoman attacks Levi Johnston's 'lies'
Source: CNN

(CNN) — A Palin family spokeswoman Monday is continuing to push back against recent claims from Levi Johnston, saying the former fiancé of Bristol Palin told an outright "lie" when he said the two were allowed to live together.

"Levi has never lived under the same roof as Bristol or any of the Palins," Palin spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton told CNN.

In an interview that aired in full Monday on the Tyra Banks Show, Johnston said he moved in to the Palin household shortly before the birth of son Tripp last December.

"I just wanted to be there for her when she had the baby," Johnston said, adding the two were allowed to share a room.

"Do you really think the governor and Todd would have allowed that," Stapleton said in an e-mail.

1. Uh, Sarah - after they've had sex, not to mention a baby
Does it really matter any more if they LIVE together?

21. True story
My friend, who I'll call Jane, was 8 months pregnant, got married in a quick civil ceremoney, just she and the baby's father.

A few days later, we threw her a baby shower. I was sitting next to her mother, and leaned over the table to ask Jane about the wedding. She kicked me and hissed "don't say anything about the wedding in front of my mother - I havent' told her yet." (He mom didn't like the baby's father).

Sort of the same thing....

35. The key phrase "Allowed" to move in speaks to Caribou Barbie and SnowMachininator's judgment.
They would have to turn in their "Conservative" cards if they allowed two unwed teens to "live in sin" together. How could they claim to be moral if they allowed the father of their grandson to live in their house if he wasn't married to their daughter?

It has nothing to do with Levi, it's about what it does to the Palin brand. 2012 is just around the corner.

3. maybe the spokesperson needs to stop having
this back and forth with a 17 year old. Jesus. I feel sort of sorry for Bristol and Levi, but none for Palin obviously, as someone else posted, she seems to be at the same level of maturity as a teenager would be.

38. Seriously...

Has the governor's office nothing better to do than engage in tit-for-tat exchanges with teenagers?

Good golly.

What will happen if Putin rears his head into Alaskan airheadspace while all this is going on?

a teen? Let the story die for Pete's sake!

5. Ah, dear old Sarah, the gift that just keeps on giving, and giving, and ...
I just saw something on another website about a sister-in-law of hers arrested for B&E over the weekend - homeowner was hiding in the bathroom with a gun and detained her until the cops arrived.

7. And, so it goes another chapter of "days of our lives".
Let's see if I have the lineup straight for the upcoming GOP presidential primary, Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and Mitt "never met an issue I couldn't agree with" Romney. A real fucking cavalcade of clowns.

9. Boy, Levi really touched a nerve, didn't he? She apparently feels
that the political damage of his statements going unchallenged is worse than the political damage of publicly squabbling with a teenage boy. She's really nutz.

42. Thanks....
I find this place quite enjoyable. Kind of funny being in the bottom of a forum totem pole again. I know it will take time to get to know people here and learn my way around. I'll just throw in my two cents occasionally and enjoy the enlightened comments and articles.

Appreciate the welcome though, and I won't overwhelm with newbie questions. Wish I had run across this place years ago.

That sounds like the McCain/Palin Campaign to me.

Now her camp is painting him as a villain.

14. Yes, that was the big fat lie--they're going to get married! Oops, now he's a
loser! We almost forced her to marry a loser for political advantage. Oops, except he's still the father of our grandson! Now our grandson will have archives of us calling him a loser in public! What trash these people are.

23. Palin won't hestitate for a second to throw anyone who gets in her way under the bus.
Look at how she dumped on the McCain campaign, and still is to this day.
She's an untrustworthy person full of lies and secrets.

Remember that she didn't even tell her own kids about her pregancy?

18. Nicolle Wallace
Slightly OT, but does anyone know who that wench Nicolle Wallace is working for now? She was the mouthpiece for Palin during the campaign; the one who went bonkers on Hardball one day and was hidden from then on. Saw her on Morning Joe, but didn't get who she was working for now.

37. I caught the YouTube of that, a short time back.
He came across surprisingly well, and well-spoken (to my great surprise!) Yes, he was undoubtedly well coached, and his comments were superficial, glib and ultimately meaningless. He was also on the Thom Hartmann program a while back,and he left more or less the same impression on me.

Don't underestimate him. "Wisely" deployed, he could make a strong appeal, and well beyond the religious whacko crowd!

29. Ya know, there is no doubt this Sarah Palin individual is mock able. And I have
laughed as much if not more than most at her, but at this point for me at least, Palin's family issues and how she is willing to let this play out in the media, has reached truly sick proportions. There is nothing being reported to even suggest that any adult is trying to help these two kids with a huge challenge, very sad.

33. Too bad for Palin, someone found Bristol's myspace comment to Levi
Edited on Mon Apr-06-09 09:25 PM by rainbow4321
telling him that he left "clothes over at her house".


http://www.palindeception.com/blog/
Does the MySpace page material answer with any certainty whether Bristol Palin gave birth to Trig OR whether Sarah did not? No, it does not. But it gives clear glimpses into the Palin family life, and specifically into Bristol Palin, that are sharply at odds with the all American family that was portrayed to the media. This is particularly relevant coming now, as Levi Johnston has purportedly told Tyra Banks (in an interview to be shown tomorrow) that he was allowed to spend the night openly at the Palin home, even though, according to him, Gov. Palin almost certainly knew that he and Bristol were having sex. I believe that, in spite of Palin's heated denials, this is confirmed from her daughter's own MySpace comments. At one point, she jokes with Levi that he apparently left some clothes at her home.


-------------
and a blogger from Wasilla on Bristol's current status:

http://syrin.vox.com/

Inside scoop....I have gotten word that Bristol is not totally dedicated to raising a child, graduating or finding work- a girl's got to have fun. She's been hookin up with another 18 year old guy here in Wasilla.
