(Newser) – Levi Johnston is still talking about Sarah Palin, and Today was listening this morning as he reiterated his stance that her resignation was fueled by a quest for cash. “I've heard anything from $7 million to $9 million. It's up there,” he says of her book advance—and added that he was not surprised when the gov quit: “It’s a very stressful job.”

Would he vote for her in 2012? Not so fast, he says. “After what she had done now, quit in Alaska, I really don't think I would go for her if she ran for president. If she can't handle the stress level as governor, I don't think she can handle it as president or vice president."

And he is a man of honor? Who has paid his way? I say we should use him as a poster boy (not man) for a warning to all girls who believe the jerks who tell them they love them and then leave them. I also tell those who were virgins on their wedding night, that they are the only ones who can blame Palin and Levi for their getting preggo. It happens. Check out the number of unwed moms in this country. By choice or circumstance, the number is staggering. Levi is getting rich - at least I hope he is since he has sold his honor, integrity and soul. What a drip.
