This article is in response to a Miami Herald article on July 10,2009. In this article Levi Johnston comments on the reasons for Governor Sarah Palin’s resignation.

Levi Johnston, “father” of Bristol Palin’s son, has proven to be a thorn in the Palin’s sides, intent on benefiting from the association. He hopes to benefit financially, by latching on to their name to get there. No creative thought of his own to get the fame he desperately seeks. He is exploiting his son and the Palin’s name, to stay in the news.

He claims that governor Palin resigned for money and her family. By then it was already public knowledge that she had obtained a book deal, so where is the news? She has a $500,000 legal bill, due to the frivolous ethics complaints, hence the need to earn more money. Based on the governor’s salary, it would take her years to pay this bill.  Who among us would not quit our current job if we had the chance of earning a lot more, and if it benefitted our family? How did this become newsworthy? Didn’t the media have more pressing news to report?

The extension of his fifteen minutes is being encouraged and entertained by the media, because it suits their cause. However, for Levi Johnston, he has failed to earn the money and fame he had expected by the exploitation of his son.

The Palin’s must have learned a valuable lesson has Levi’s suffers from “Palin derangement syndrome” who will do and say anything to stay in the “spotlight”. They will remember from now on the saying “Be careful who your friends are”
