CQ Politics.com’s Craig Crawford discusses Levi Johnston’s article in the October issue of Vanity Fair. Of course, Johnston was asked about life with the real Sarah Palin, and her home life in Wasilla. Johnston reveals things which will be
surprising to those who bought into her carefully constructed image. I’m only revealing a very few here, Keith’s video will be a call to arms for Palin devotees, a justification that we were right, for the rest of us.
When spotting a contradiction, good ol’ boys have been known to say "that dog don’t hunt." In Palin’s case, she doesn’t fish either, unless some confused amphibian sloshed into her over-sized waders during her photo-ops. For the icon of a young Alaskan pioneer who raises a large family, drops wolves from a helicopter, and governs the state of Alaska as a tireless public servant, it didn’t seem far fetched that she could field dress a moose, as she bragged. It turns out that to her that may well mean putting a black bow tie and a boutonnière on one.
Levi tells one story which may well cool her passionate relationship with the NRA, for whom she’d become a virtual poster sweetheart! When they learn the untouched contents of the box under her bed, and the clueless question she
asked Levi, their ardor may well cool, as will their cash.
Levi tells of life in the uncommunicative house, which sounds anything but nurturing in any way. In fact, he says that she’s lazy, domineering, and uses guilt trips and bribery to get her way. Of course this is his side of the story.
However, the statement rings true when you consider the machinations she put the two teens through when an unplanned teen pregnancy threatened her image.
Imagine John McCain as the election neared, and Palin wasn’t shy about stating her conviction that voters were turning out only for her! Equally astounding was her decision to drop her office afterward. It’s no mystery however. She told
the family exactly why – "I just want to take this money and quit being governor." She has plans, oh yes. They all pay better than being a governor too!
Believe it or not, there is a lot more Wasilliness to be seen, in Worst! Samantha Bee reports as Palin steps down as governor and mother
