Small thing, but WHY WAS LEVI CHEWING GUM?!

[bidenista]

Was it really necessary for Levi to chew gum on stage? I mean, that WAS tacky.

[susanna]

1. I thought I was the only one who noticed that LOL. But then I had Miss Manners for a Mom. n/t

[bidenista]

3. It really annoyed me. I think I must be a bit OCD...

I couldn't stop wondering why handlers hadn't told him to spit it out.

[susanna]

18. I don't think it's OCD, bidenista...

If you were taught (like I was) that it's inappropriate in certain situations, then you just tend to notice it more. I noticed it too, and I'm not afflicted with OCD that I know of. ;-)

5. It was his way of saying.....

I don't give a shit......and I don't have to marry anyone.

[LibDemAlways]

20. You hit the nail on the head. Being there wasn't his

idea. He knew his buddies were laughing their asses off at him back in Alaska for ending up in that situation - stuck on a stage in front of tv cameras with a family he's not part of and doesn't want to be part of. He just wants to get the hell out of there and go back to "chillin." If he has any sense at all he'll work out a deal with the Palins that does not involve saying "I do." No one should be forced to marry against their will.

2. And Who Picked Out His Outfit

Looks like he did it himself.

[GrizzlyMan]

Oh don't worry about the outfit

I'm sure the clothes are coming off over at the 5 star hotel right about now...(cue stock porno soundtrack)

[damndude]

4. because he knws he shouldn't be there

all that nervous energy tied up from beig forced onstage just cuz he got one off withouy a cap

[Ex Lurker]

6. Cletus will have some lucky staffer appointed to be his handler

it'll be a full time job. I've laid off the rest of the Palin family, but I have no qualms about taking the gloves off on this doofus. I know too many like him.

7. Are you sure it wasn't tobacco?

just sayin'

[C_U_L8R]

8. Chewing tobacco

[JimDandy]

11. Cause that's whet ya do when ya don gradyate hi skool,

and youse all growed up!

[Colobo]

9. Dude is one of those pricks who thinks "I'm the shit".

[Riddler]

10. He couldn't carry a Dixie Cup up there to spit his tobacco juice into

[Neshanic]

12. Because he is classy. Just like the rest of them. "Dude, watch me chew gum up there!"

[kestrel91316]

13. Because he's a classless, clueless, redneck jackass?

[Joe the Revelator]

14. To get rid of the taste of McCain's ass

[truthisfreedom]

15. Nervous. Shotgun wedding, stuck with the girl for a good long time.

[amandabeech]

17. Hoping that his sorta mother-in-law WON'T get elected

so he can go back to Alaska, play some hockey and drink a few brews without the TV crews following him around.

[SayitAintSo]

16. Let's see... What else is TACKY about that whole side show ?

[npk]

19. At least he wasn't blowing bubbles

That is really tacky.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

21. White trash hockey goon.

WTF do you expect? Prides himself on "kicking ass." (Really, doesn't that say it all?) Probably has an IQ of around 78 and hasn't read a book except under duress in 10 years. Dumb as an anvil.

And please don't light me up. I grew up in a working class family that constantly teetered on the edge of poverty. But my parents, for all of their flaws, always valued education. Obviously the parents of this ice belt Jethro Bodine did not. SHPOS.

[howmad1]

22. This poor kid.

Everybody on the hocky team got into Bristol's pants. This poor fucker drew the short straw.

[HooptieWagon]

23. Instead of smoking, I'll bet.
