Bristol Palin Wanted Levi Johnston to Work 'His Butt Off' to Finish School, Get a Job
2010-08-05
A day after Bristol Babycakes Palin announced her engagement to Levi Baby Daddy Johnston was off -- again -- she said she wanted her ex to be more like her dad, who "works his butt off."
Ummm... That doesn't sound a lot like Levi...
"It is true that I wanted Levi to be at home, complete his education and get a regular job," Palin told "Good Morning America" in an exclusive statement. "Levi told me he wanted the same thing."
"... or maybe to start a band. Or join a commune..." He told you he loved you, too, dumbass...
The couple's tumultuous on-again, off-again relationship became decidedly off Tuesday when Palin, 19, said Johnston may have fathered a child with another teenage girl.
"At least we think it's a child..."
The news, she told People magazine, came the same day last month that they went public with their rekindled romance.
"Hey, there! You with the stars in your eyes...!"
Now, it seems, the war of words between the young parents has picked up again after a brief respite.
"I suppose you realize this means war!"
"I see that Levi's representative said I expected Levi to be more like my dad. Exactly," Palin said in her statement to "GMA." "My dad works his butt off and always put his family first. Every woman should want a husband like that," she said. "That is what I expected from Levi."
"She's too demanding for me," replied Levi.
Palin, mom to 19-month-old Tripp, didn't name the young woman she believes is pregnant with Johnston's child.
"Actually I don't care who it is. I'm just happy it's not me..."
Rumors swirled last week that Johnston, 20, had impregnated his former girlfriend, Lanesia Garcia. But Garcia, 20, told Usmagazine.com Saturday that those reports are "not true at all."
"Nope. Levi didn't validate his manhood on me!"
Palin claims she has only seen Johnston once in the past three weeks. What eventually pushed her away were his fame-hungry ways.
"Yup. Yup. I'm gonna be a star!"
"The final straw was him flying to Hollywood for what he told me was to see some hunting show but come to find out it was that music video mocking my family," she told People. "He's just obsessed with the limelight and I got played."
Picked right up on that, didn't she?
No, not right away, but she finally got it, and good for her ...
But she hasn't lost hope that she'll find love and a man to be a father for Tripp. "I have faith that I'll find it," she told People. "Through this whole experience I know I need a man who's going to be completely honest with me and someone who loves me and Tripp and wants to be with him all the time. I also want someone who has religious beliefs and a good family."
There are lots of nice fellows out there. Levi's not one of them.
If she's smart her next move will be to stop talking with People, US and the other trash magazines ...
She's got support from her mother.
... who appears to be a paragon of patience...
"I wish for Bristol to be able to move forward in life with her same forgiving, gracious, optimistic spirit, but from henceforth she'll know to trust but verify," Sarah Palin said in a statement to People. "Bristol is strong, she is independent, and she knows what is right for her son."
"She's just not real bright when it comes to fellows..."
While Sarah Palin didn't condone her daughter reuniting with Johnston, the now split couple ecstatically announced their second engagement in July via the cover of Us Weekly magazine.
I missed it. I had to wash my hair that week.
"It felt right," Palin told the magazine at the time, "even though we don't have the approval of our parents."
[gag]
She added that she planned for Johnston and Tripp to wear matching camouflage vests at their outdoor wedding.
It's too much for me. I'll be spending the rest of the evening drinking...
In June, Bristol Palin told ABC's "Good Morning America" that she was reuniting with Johnston for the sake of their 1-year-old son, Tripp. "I am doing my best to raise a happy, active and healthy boy," Palin said. "I believe that wherever possible, if the parents can cooperate and co-parent in a positive way, the child will benefit. Levi and I are turning a new page here as co-parents to this wonderful boy and putting aside the past because doing so is in Tripp's best interest."

Palin and Johnston's first engagement fell apart in March 2009 after they appeared together throughout Sarah Palin's 2008 vice presidential campaign. Following the breakup, Palin became a spokeswoman for teen abstinence, while Johnston chose a decidedly different path: posing for Playgirl magazine and exploring his options in the reality TV realm.

#5  If Levi is going to continue to be a tabloid himbo and Short Attention Span Theater star, this photo can be easily merged with a goat body to form a satyr. Of course, with any luck his 15 minutes are finally over.

#2  ...Just had to deal with a moron along the same lines as young Levi here. Lad is the babydaddy for a young woman of my acquaintance, and he has ZERO motivation to do anything. I got him a job at our factory and he lasted three days.

Was complaining about the sweat in his eyes.

#1  She's just young and stupid. At least she's a bit older and wiser now.
