I would have to relucantly concur with you. If Palin can’t handle a loser like Levi, then how can she handle North Korea and Iran? If Palin wants to seek the White House in 2016 or beyond, she really needs better advisors.
It appears now that at least one member of Palin’s family are talking to the tabloids, too. This website claims to have a “Palin family member” taking Johnston’s side.
