Levi Johnston chimed in on Sarah Palin’s resignation yesterday, claiming the governor is probably doing it for the cash, reports the AP. When he lived with his ex-fiancé’s family in December and January, he overheard Palin saying she wanted to take advantage of the many deals being thrown her way, a reality show and book among them.

“I think the big deal was the book. That was millions of dollars,” says Johnston, who is pursuing his own book and movie deals. A Palin spokesperson responds: “It is interesting to learn Levi is working on a piece of fiction while honing his acting skills.” (More Sarah Palin stories.)
