Questions Levi Johnston Must Answer

The critical questions confronting Bristol Palin's former boyfriend, Levi Johnston, are these: (1) who is paying you to trash the Palins? (2) how much are they paying you -- and what are they paying you to say? (3) who's funding youir shiny new red pickup truck? (4) who's assisting your mother with her huge legal expenses -- she's charged with selling drugs? (5) how long are the payments due to continue? (6) How much did the Tyra Banks Show fork over for Levi's tall tails? [See my previous column below in smaller pint]

Note: On my other blog (http://stevemaloneygop.blogspot.com) I've written several columns on Vice President Joe Biden's history of lies. Biden's lies, especially his defamation of a Delaware family should have disqualified him from any high office, but the MSM, as usual, has given him a free pass.)

"He who pays the piper chooses the tune." Levi is the piper, and when we find out exactly who's paying him, we find out who's the source of Levi's public statements.

Is Levi Johnston really being paid? Well, Levi has no job and, given his lack of education and skills, he doesn't exactly have many occupational prospects. On the other hand, he magically has enough money to fly (along with his mother and sister) from Anchorage to New York City and back. Presumably, the Johnstons didn't stay at the Motel 6 and dine at Wendys. And then there's Levi's new pickup, which cost a bundle. Levi, enquiring minds want to know where the money came from.

The questions I've raised above should be ones asked by the media, both in Alaska and in "the lower-48." Unfortunately, the media -- ranging from the Anchorage Daily News to the New York Timesand the national networks, aren't very good at asking questions of those who are criticizing Sarah Palin or her children. So, it falls to those of us in the humble blogosphere to do the media's job. And do it we will. Levi's reputation as "America's Sleazebag" is destined go grow.

Levi Johnston was Paid Off

Hint: Levi Johnston and his family are being paid off for trashing Sarah and Bristol Palin. The motto of the reporters (Woodward and Bernstein) in Watergate was to "follow the money." The modern MSM doesn't follow payoffs as long as there's a whiff of salaciousness to focus on. [Note: On my other blog, http://stevemaloneygop.blogspot.com I have Thurs. and Fri. columns on Joe Biden's pathological lying over the years, especially his mythical story about the details of the death of his first wife and infant daughter in a 1972 traffic accident.]

This column marks the beginning of effort to raise the intriguing question of where Levi Johnston and his family -- with his mother under indictment for drug sales -- are getting tens of thousands of dollars to pay for various expenses, including flights (for Levi, his mother, and his sister) to NY (at a cost of approximately $7,500) for the Tyra Banks show, as well as for the shiny new pick-up truck that the unemployed Levi (who apparently can't pay child care expenses) is driving. (Hey, at least Levi doesn't sell out his former "beloved" and his current son for mere peanuts.)

Obviously, the money comes from Obama supporters like George Soros and the investment bankers Obama is bailing out with billions of dollars, payoffs in their own right. I can't dot all the i's on l'affaire Levi yet, but if something stinks like a skunk, well, it's not the first rose of summer. And Levi and his odious mother are smelling very skunk-like these days.

Since the Tyra Bankses of the world can't ask Levi any hard questions, well, we have to do the job for them.

Perhaps someone will be very daring and ask Mrs. Johnston who's paying her whopping legal expenses these days. Hint: It's not the Palin-for-President Committee. I don't believe Mrs. Johnston has much money lying around from her former profession of selling oxycontin.

Am I claiming that Obama, Axelrod, and Emanuel ("The Triangle of Evil") are making direct payments to the Johnstons? Silly question: that's why people like Obama and Axelrod have bagmen. As Richard Nixon put it, in politics, "deniability" is everything.

Consider Bristol Palin's comment that some people (hint: she meant Levi and his delightful family) were using the "Palin name" in order to make "money." Bristol is getting wiser by the moment.

If you'd like to read more about the Johnston family, I urge you to check out Ron Devito's blog at: http://sarahs-accomplishments.blogspot.com/2009/04/salacious-news-coverage-levi-johnston.html. Ron is a young guy, but he has the ability, as a friend of mine once put it, "to find out where the bones are buried."There will be more to come this weekend. I urge you to pass this material on to friends and allies.
