Dump Levi, Get a Car: Dad to Bristol

Teen parents are exchanging flirty text messages, but no reunion in sight

Share

(Newser) – The chill between Levi Johnston and Bristol Palin is thawing, but the same can’t be said for Johnston and his babymama’s parents: Todd Palin offered, more than once, to buy Bristol a car if only she’d dump Levi. That tidbit, as well as the revelation that Johnston is capable of stringing together entire sentences, emerges in an upcoming GQ profile of the teen, New York magazine reports.

Johnston, who estimates he has “as much fishing, camping, and hunting experience of anybody [his] age in the country, if not more,” spends most of his time these days with a PI named Tank, thanks to the fact that his other friends have been talking to the tabloids. He has exchanged flirty text messages with Bristol, but getting back together is “not even in” his mind.

Isn't that typical of the Palin's. Pay off or wheel and deal, even with their children, maybe they should have made that deal before they let him sleep with her in their house! Reply

Now, the story did NOT say when the offer was made. Perhaps they tried to break them up before they were sleeping together. Is this really news worthy? Are you really so stupid as to believe all the media's stories about this family and the governor? Seriously, she was rated as one of the most effective governors in the nation prior to her nomination, but since the nomination they have you believing that she is Jimmy Carter in heals. You libs are sure gullible. Willing to believe anything published. I too will someday probably be trying to break up my daughter from some high school slob wanting nothing more than to bang her. I think its my right as a Dad, no duty, to do whatever I can to protect her.

Clarke, that's why your daughter will resent you. Maybe if you trusted her and realized you can't stop her from having sex she won't be doing it stupidly. Parents like you give everyone a bad name and make the world a complicated place.

Can't say I blame Levi. I would not want to be in that mixed up family. Reply

Father's have been trying to get rid of their daughter's boyfriends since the first time a girl brought some boy back to the cave. Is this really a story even for the Palin Haters? At what point are you going to start feeling a little dirty for spending your lives commenting on a teenager's sex life? Reply
