Levi Johnston says Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resigned because she couldn't handle the pressure

Hockey hunk turned political pundit Levi Johnston doesn't think his baby's grandma Sarah Palin could handle the White House: She can't take the heat.

"She's very smart," Johnston told NBC Monday morning. "But I just don't think she can handle the stress level as governor -- I don't think she can handle it as president or vice president."

Johnston, the 19-year-old high school dropout and former fiancé of Palin's daughter Bristol, said on the "Today" show that he wouldn't vote for Palin if she launched a presidential bid.

"If you would have asked that question a while back, I think I would have [voted for her]," Johnston said. "But after what she has done now, you know, quitting on Alaska, I don't really think she has been the governor she should have for Alaska."

Hey Levi one thing I’ve learned in my 57 years is that “what goes around comes around”. If I was in your shoes I would be watching my back.

The scene opens with an exterior shot of a rundown hovel in the Alaskan wilderness.

Knock, knock.
Stranger: You Levi?
Levi: Yeah, who the hell are you?
Stranger: Todd says hello.
Fade to black.

A 19 YO high school dropout that abandoned his baby and its mother is an expert on committment and dealing with pressure?

This guy can’t make his mind up...if he has one. Just a few days ago this was the headline: “Levi Johnston: Palin Resigned Because Of Money.”

Hmmm ~ you must have heard about Bristol telling those young girls to stay away from the old coots eh?!

Took it as a personal afront no doubt.

Someone whose sole capacity to comment on Sarah Palin is that he did the horizontal rumba with her daughter and got her preggers, is used as the source of a news story? Are the reporters and editors published this OUT OF THEIR PEA-PICKING MINDS?

This guy who quit high school and broke his promise to Bristol won’t vote for Palin because SHE’S a quitter?

What a jerk. Hasn’t he caused this family enough grief?

Why oh why oh why is this kid still in the news? Surely all media outlets know they look like IDIOTS when they portray him as some kind of “inside source” of the goings-on of Gov. Palin.

BLECH....

Maybe Levi could tell us why he “resigned” from high school, or “resigned” from being engaged to his child’s mother. How’s he doing on those child support payments? Has he “resigned” from that too?

this is sooooo asinine. He is not a disinterested person.

The fact of the broken relationship taints anything he might say.

He is getting his last minutes of fame ... simply for being an unwed father with Sarah's daughter ... He is probably a bit puffed up by the fact they want to put him on TV and write about his opinion, ... as if he was a wise person. He is a bit young to know what a mess he is creating. etc.

Big mistake ... it isn't like it can increase his career.

Considering the fact Sarah is the grandmother of his baby ... he is not being very smart.

Usually alienating the family of his former fiancee is not a good idea.

“Johnston, the 19-year-old “high school dropout” and former fiancé of Palin’s daughter”................................... Hmmmmmm, if he keeps it up the MSM will take him on as a news commentator on one of the major networks. He has all the qualification he needs for the MSM, its just like having a community organizer background and becoming president.

Levi’s that rookie ‘Alaskan political analyst’ that knocked up a Palin daughter and then got more than his keester in a wringer as a result, if I recall recent history.

No?

Is he providing any financial assistance with the baby as a result of his new-found career? Just curious.

Funny how the libs and the MSM drool over every utterance of drivel coming from this a$$hat’s yaw, simply amazing.

Too bad more kids don’t foresee the fallout from their poor associations. This kid is a loser, but I guess we’re all allowed to fall for one or two of them in a lifetime.

I’d have thought he was possibly growing into a man if he had told the press “I’m sorry, but I will be associated with the Palin family for many years through the love we share for my son and I am not going to comment on their personal or political business.” I don’t suppose kids learn the concept of taking the high road these days.

I used to be Levi (without the hunk aspect).

He’ll wake up drunk in his pickup about 20 years from now and wonder how the hell he is going to stay out of jail with all the child support he owes.

Thankfully, the ugly kept me married and honest and I never did own a pickup.

As much as he pisses me off and as much as I normally advocate that she fight back, I think from this point forward they should just ignore Levi.

If she ignores him it will make him and the msm look even more pathetic.

Levi’s resume consists of having the ability to blow his load into a minor. I guess that qualifies him for the upper tier of Democrat pundits.
