Levi Johnston has lived the dream. He’s knocked up a schoolgirl, indirectly lost an election and endorsed some nuts.
What else could he want? To get his balls out for a magazine? He’s done that too. Truly, Levi Johnston has spent the last few years being the very model of a sexually irresponsible teenager with a slightly unnatural fondness for cashew nuts. But all that has come to an end – Levi Johnston has decided to bite the bullet and apologise to his baby’s grandmother Sarah Palin for publicly suggesting that she was close to divorce last year.
And apparently Sarah Palin didn’t even joke about her own son’s Down’s Syndrome, either. It’s getting to be that we can’t believe anything we hear about Sarah Palin any more. Honestly, she’d still better believe that the world is six weeks old or we’ll be terribly disappointed.
For as long as we can remember, Levi Johnston and Sarah Palin have been at each other’s throats. He messed up her big vice-presidential campaign by knocking up her teenage daughter and harming her strict pro-abstinence policy. Then he accused her of making jokes about her son’s Down Syndrome and having terminal marital difficulties. Then, perhaps less relevantly, he got his balls out and made an advert about cashew nuts.
It’s been a real soap opera, albeit a soap opera full of bad haircuts and bizarre pronunciation. But every soap opera needs to come to an end, usually with everyone dying inside a burning coach that’s fallen off a clifftop. And that’s true of this soap opera, albeit sadly without the burning coach or the clifftop bit. Anyway, look, he’s apologised to her. The Los Angeles Times reports:
“[A]gainst my better judgment,” Johnston said in the Tuesday statement, “I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true.” He said also he’d privately apologized, but decided to take it public because he’d spoken publicly in the first place. Bristol Palin answered with a statement that she and her ex, who together have a child, Tripp, are “turning a new page.”
You see? Every story can have a happy ending, even two-year-old stories that nobody cares about. Let’s just hope that Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin and Sarah Palin can now come together as one and give baby Tripp the happy, woefully miseducated life he was always destined to have.

Apparantly Levi is back on $arah’s payroll.
They are ALL liars and publicity hounds. Trash. $arah is Queen Trash.

Is it possible that he’s running out of opportunities and needs to get back to the publicity that made him semi-famous in the first place?
He’s smarter than he looks!
