Levi Johnston
Johnston is a varsity hockey player at Wasilla High School.
Bristol Palin

He's a superhunky bad-boy ice hockey player from cold country; she's a chestnut-haired beauty and popular high school senior. (eeew..)

The all-American teen twosome will make GOP vice presidential pick and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin a grandma at age 44 - just in time for Christmas. Doe-eyed Bristol Palin, 17, and ruggedly handsome Levi Johnston, an 18-year-old self-described "f---in' redneck," have been dating a year, locals in Wasilla, Alaska, told the Daily News.

And the pregnancy? An open secret in the close-knit town of 9,780.

Bristol Palin, now a senior, was frequently seen cheering her young beau from the stands. Levi is also a senior.Wasilla mom Jennie Johnston, whose son Jade played hockey with Levi, saw the young couple in January at a game. "She was in a cute little outfit like young girls wear," said Jennie Johnston, who is not related to Levi. "She was with Levi." She said her son told her the two were already engaged. "They've been together quite a while, more than a year," she said. "I hope everything comes out well. These are local kids." Johnston, broad-chested and wearing a No. 15 jersey, can be seen in photographs hitting the boards as a Warrior in action. (these writers must be closet-cougars)

A closeup shot shows the handsome teen with a light dusting of whiskers on his chin - his dark brown hair curly and wet. (romance novel or news article?)

"Levi has got huge potential," Jennie Johnston said. "He's a smart kid. n"Sarah Palin admitted yesterday her "beautiful daughter" Bristol was five months pregnant and would marry Levi. The baby is due in late December.

The campaign released word of the teen's pregnancy to knock down claims on Internet blogs that the teen - not her mom - secretly gave birth to Trig, who has Down syndrome.

snip...

Bristol's pregnancy was no secret in the town that lies wedged between two mountain ranges. The mother of one of Levi's friends, who asked not to be named, told The News that locals knew about Bristol's pregnancy for weeks. Besides his hard play on the ice, Levi Johnston was also a bit of a hell-raiser off it - another reason Bristol may have been smitten. State troopers popped Johnston last year for snagging some king salmon out of season in Moose Lake, records from Alaska wildlife enforcement show. He had to pay $370 bail.

On his MySpace page, Johnston proudly declares: "I'm a f---in' redneck.""I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing," he says on the site. He also warns that if anyone messes with him, "I'll kick ass." The Web site, before it was removed, appeared not to have been accessed for a year. On it, he admits to having a girlfriend.On the part where it asks about children, he wrote, "I don't want kids."

Mark Okeson, the assistant principal at Wasilla High School, told the Chicago Tribune that Bristol started her junior year last fall, in the town where Sarah Palin grew up.
He said Bristol inexplicably transferred to an Anchorage high school midyear, leaving Levi behind.

"I never heard the story why," he said. (girlfriend leaves school in Dec, and you don't know why??..the only two kids on earth with no cell phones)

1. Edit.. School starts sept ..she drops out in Dec

That sweatshirt pic?? Pregnant...

sept, oct nov, dec= 4 months preggo, and showing

I'm missing something here.. :evilgrin:

she's due in LATE dec of 2008?? and she's "about" (to use their favorite date measurement) 5 months NOW??

That makes for a 16 month pregnancy..Call Ripleys:)

[lunatica]

27. The writers graduated from the jouralism school of

Romance Writing Genre of Formula Writing, or How to Get Published by the Romance Genre Industry.

[lligrd]

2. Timing For The Transfer Was A Bit Late

Wouldn't you say?

[SoCalDem]

6. Odd to say the least..

If she's only "about" 5 months NOW, why wouldn't they have pulled her out of school right before summer vacation BEFORE she would have started to show..hell it would have been darned near the "morning after"..:rofl:

If she was removed "mid term" (another clever avoidance of a REAL date), and she was in school when that pic was taken,(probably just before she left school in DEC) she's about 4 months in that pic.. That would have made her baby due in MAY..not DEC..

[FedUpWithIt All]

16. The pic is of her getting off the campaign bus in the last few days.

So she would be slightly showing. There is also clearly something in the front pocket.

3. I don't think he's "super-hunky" or "handsome"....he looks like regular

Trailer trash to me....in fact the whole Palin family and their assorted rabble pretty much look like regular trailer trash.

[Nostradammit]

8. A real Mr. Darcy, that one.

:rofl:

[...of J.Temperance]

9. Lol! Yeah

And he even describes himself as "proud to be a Redneck"

A regular Mr. Darcy :rofl:

[FedUpWithIt All]

18. Did i miss something? Did young "trailer trash" decide to run for a cabinet position?

I thought we were assaulting candidates and their positions, not the private lives of teenagers. Did this boys mother publicly come out against sex education? Are we critiquing his upbringing and family ethics too? Dear me. I did not realize his family was in politics as well. So is it now acceptable to insult everyone Palin or her family have contact with?

Such ethics dilemmas among the Dem's lately. Teen pregnancy sure brings out some rabid feelings around here. :puke:

[SoCalDem]

19. You should write a letter to the editor then

He was not shy on his webpage..nor was his sister..
Maybe you should also write to Momma too.. none of this had to ever leave wasilla.. It was her choice

[FedUpWithIt All]

22. Who's choice?

Palin's?

What does that have to do with another woman's children?

Really reaching.

[ColbertWatcher]

4. "An open secret in the close-knit town" NO!

No.

Can't be!

[Nostradammit]

5. I was just reading that strange, strange article

I think the last bit about "I never heard the story why" was being said by the assistant principal, not Levi Johnston.

This whole baby thing is very weird.

[SoCalDem]

7. together for a year.. and she suddenly disappears.. no phones??

Wacky to say the least..

[thunder rising]

10. The sexually repressed children of the American psycho Christian killer clan

These Palins are not the image of America I want in the White House. These folks are the caricature of "white trash". What part of their story doesn't fit?

[SoCalDem]

11. Something is "off".. we're not quite done here..IMHO

[KoKo]

28. And how many of them raised on "Reality TEE VEE" sign up for Blackwater, USA...

or like young "Confederate Flag Waving" Levi...will go on to "bigger and better things?" Like maybe a scholarship to one of the "TOP TEN" Colleges. That kid is SET FOR LIFE. :rofl:

"Repuglican Family Values" ...just REIGN!

[fasttense]

12. "Levi has got huge potential," Jennie Johnston said.

Aside from the poor English, I think Jennie girl is not referring to his intelligence. Levi has got huge potential and very active sperm. :spank:

[SoCalDem]

13. have you seen the myspace stuff yet.. you will die laughing

especially the hot pink satin "boob" dress:)

21. Those are of Levi's SISTER. She too is game?

She was not born into the Palin family. She did not (gasp) fornicate with any of them. She is not a politician.

Please explain to me again how this teens personal pictures are any of our business.

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. Now the population's 9,780...

With every subsequent article about Palin/Wasilla, the population there has increased by a couple hundred at least. The Wasilla folk are apparently giving fruit flys a run for their money in terms of RRR (Rapid Reproduction Rate). Maybe it's something in the water.

[SoCalDem]

15. Fertilla the Huntress has a very productive lifestyle

:)

[demodonkey]

17. "Hunky" was once (and still is) an N-word type of name for people of Eastern European descent.

A lot of people (especially those like me who have a Slavic name and background) find its use offensive.

And a lot of us find it even MORE offensive that nobody even knows the vile history of this word, or cares to learn about it.

[lunatica]

20. I used to think Alaska was cool

But I should have known better. I guess if you have no other choice in life you might as well be proud to be a redneck.

[SoCalDem]

23. Probably depends on where you live in Alaska

I'm sure that not all people are like that.

[Beausoleil]

24. This is true

I lived in Alaska for 6 years. Wasilla has a reputation as a "redneck" town, with a lot of transplants from Lower-48 redneck towns. Lots of Texas and Oklahoma transplants, from what I understand; not really a good example of a cross-section of Alaska. There are Palin-like people all over Alaska, but they seem to be concentrated in the Mat-Su valley, in my experience.

[Beausoleil]

25. If you want to see the "cool" Alaska

don't go to Wasilla.

[lunatica]

26. Thanks for restoring my opinion of Alaska as cool

I'll certainly stay away from Wasilla!
