Levi Johnston Inks Book Deal (really!)
Politico ^ | 04/25/2011 | Karin Tanabe

Posted on 04/25/2011 3:35:43 PM PDT by Hawk720

Bristol Palin’s baby daddy is writing a “tell-all book,” a source told US Weekly, which broke news of the publishing milestone on Monday.

The source told the mag that Johnston is “ready to give an inside glimpse to his relationship with the Palins, share his trials and tribulations of being thrust into the spotlight and becoming a father at such a young age.”

Johnston and Bristol Palin were both 18 when their son, Tripp, was born in December 2008.

Johnston, who turns 21 next week, didn’t heed the silence-is-golden rule when he dished about Bristol’s mom to Vanity Fair in 2009, so it comes as little surprise that he’s ready to gab on a bigger scale.

The book, to be released by Touchstone Publishing, is titled “Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs.” Request for comment was not returned by Touchstone Publishing, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.

Update: A Touchstone rep confirmed the upcoming memoir to POLITICO. In a press release from the publisher, Johnston said: “I want to tell the truth about my close relationship with the Palins … my sense of Sarah, and my perplexing fall from grace—how I feel and what I've learned. I'm doing this for me, for my boy Tripp and for the country.”

He admitted to lying about the Palin so how do they know that this time he is telling the truth?

Heard he’s looking for a real ghost to help him out.

Did they hire that Trig hating pervert from Wonkette to ghost write this nonsense?

I think it would be easy to edit a coloring book.

Oh yeah. I'm sure HE said exactly that.

The first requirement for getting a book deal should be that one has actually read a book and Pat the Bunny doesn't count.

Anyone wanna bet that Palin’s recent ‘next door neighbor’ had a hand in this?

Really? You don't know why you are a laughingstock? This guy is a dim bulb and a media whore.

He's going to be as obnoxious as he possibly can be, essentially daring SP to do something (or even say something) about it. If she does, the MSM will come down on he with everything they've got.

He impregnates SP daughter, doesn't marry her, goes on numerous media outlets to dish dirt on the Palin family, and he wants the world to think that he's in her crosshairs. Unbelievable.

I would like to know where the money's coming from.

By the way, we haven't heard anything about Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky lately, have we? MSM's pretty much got no interest in those two, since Marc left on his extended skiing vacation two months ago.
