Sarah Palin’s least-favorite almost-son-in-law Levi Johnston will not vanish from the public eye, ever! He’s doing a photoshoot with a website called Playgirl, which, despite its gender specific name, is actually a site for gay men who like to look at photographs of other men, naked. There is nothing wrong with this! And, you know, we are pretty happy that of the two unlikely Wasilla-based media sensations of September 2008, Sarah Palin is now an unemployed twitterer and Levi Johnston is the celebrity (?) of September 2009. Who could’ve predicted it? [Gawker/Violet Blue/The Sword]

Who doesn’t love Levi Johnston! Every magazine editor in fancy New York City has, at some point in the last few months, approached Levi and asked, “Hey, Levi, would you be willing to tell us some new hilarious embarrassing shit about Sarah Palin?”, and he’s always like, “Sure, whatever, when’s the photo shoot?” In today’s revelations, Levi appears to have given Vanity Fair the mother lode for a feature in its upcoming issue, several excerpts of which are now available. They are hilarious. MORE »

• If you are going to doodle swastikas all over the place because you are angry about the possibility of receiving affordable health care, at least have the courtesy to draw them correctly, and not make them all fruity and wobbly. Because it looks like your swastika has osteoporosis, which means it will most certainly be euthanized by Obama’s death panel. [Think Progress]
• Speaking of spray-painting swastikas. The culprit is obviously that black congressman. This whole thing is a chapter lifted from Sherlock Holmes and the Self-Inflicted Hate Crime Swastika. [Weekly Standard]
• Speaking of black people. They are awfully similar to that cartoon character, Felix the Cat. So says the Financial Times, the reigning champion of shard-born analogies. [Matt Yglesias]
• The House Judiciary Committee released a titanic load of Bush regime emails, concerning that whole Karl Rove attorney-purge debacle from God-knows-how-many-years-ago. As you can probably imagine, the folks over at TPM are already busy finger-bangin’ the shit out of these documents. [TPM]
• Listen when Levi Johnston has something to say. For he is America’s resident expert on impregnating teenage girls. And you should respect that. [This Was Already On Wonkette This Morning, Riley, a Few Posts Down]

Alaskan teen Levi Johnston is famous for banging one of Sarah Palin’s daughters in Sarah Palin’s house in a special fuck room Sarah Palin created for the children, and ever since America has turned to Young Mr. Levi for tawdry details of the Palin Lifestyle. The latest, from some awful celebrity shit site: Todd and Sarah got some terrible marriage problems! MORE »

We kind of like the young Alaskan who mistakenly knocked up Alex Rodriguez, which is why it’s so difficult to watch Pat Buchanan uttering this wild-eyed suggestion to drown him, in the crick. Buchanan is such a racist against the descendants of gold miners. [Media Matters]

Levi Johnston made quite a name for himself by impregnating that Palin daughter (NOT PIPER YOU MONSTERS) and then going on the Larry King Live occasionally and grunting out a few monosyllables in between commercial breaks. “Yes. No. I don’t know.” But yesterday he held a NEWS CONFERENCE at his lawyer’s office to reveal the SHOCKING TRUE SECRET behind his ex-girlfriend’s mom’s resignation from the Alaska governorship. MORE »

Let’s see, what do we talk about around here all the time now? Teen pregnancy, and MTV’s The Real World in Washington. Here’s a new show coming up on that very same network, but it’s about the real Real World, for Americans, which is “you get knocked up in high school” and … well, that’s about it. Unless you’re Sarah Palin’s babydaughter, generally you are never heard from again, because you will be a cashier at Food 4 Less or whatever, part time. Anyway, ignore the Target commercial at the beginning here and enjoy this tragic promo for MTV’s 16 and Pregnant, directed by our old pal Morgan J. Freeman.

Bristol Palin appeared on the TODAY show with Matt Lauer, all holding her cute sleeping baby and smiling serenely with her long shiny hair and talking about what hard work parenting is. Really? Because it looks … kind of awesome! All you have to do is fuck some sexy dunderhead once and boom, a year later you are on national teevee looking great with your adorable child and asking teenagers to “learn from your example.” Teenage pregnancy rates are going to skyrocket. [MSNBC]

How great was Levi Johnston and his myriad singular-product-named siblings and his sketchy mom on Larry King Live Tuesday night? We are assuming the answer is “So Awesome.” We’ll post the video later, or not, but meanwhile here’s the only image you need: Shrunken-head banality machine Larry King lovingly examining Levi’s various tattoos on his left (communist) arm, including the classic “Bristol” in hippie script font on his wedding-ring finger. [CNN Photo, hat tip to Andrew Malcolm]

Weren’t we just talking about Larry King? Yes we were! Well, the “king of all media” has some very special guests tonight, straight from the meth/moose/Taco Bell capital of the world, Wasilla. The singular Levi and Mercede Johnston will sit down this evening with Hollywood’s favorite death muppet, and dope-dealin’ mom Sherry Johnston is coming along for the ride. (The ride will be in an actual pickup truck, driven from Alaska. Sherry will be shotgun. Mercede likes to be closest to Levi, in the night.) MORE »

Not to be all Andrew Sullivan but WHAT THE HELL is Levi Johnston doing here, in May of last year, tenderly cradling supposed Sarah Palin child “Trig Palin” in this photograph taken in Sarah’s kitchen, days after Trig’s birth? And WHY was this photo shown on the Tyra Banks Program to illustrate teen father Levi Johnston holding his supposed son “Tripp Johnston,” supposedly birthed by Bristol Palin? And why is sister Mercede Johnston also photographed lovingly cradling this child she refers to as “baby brother,” (supposedly Sarah Palin’s supposed baby “Trigg Palin”) in the exact same Palin kitchen setting, on the same day? Look, we liked Twin Peaks, too, but this is just getting ridiculous. [Palin's Deceptions/Flickr]
