“Great. Bristol Palin’s former fiance, Levi Johnston is appearing on the Tyra Banks show on Monday.

Discussing Johnston’s appearance on MSNBC, Sarah Palin was described as “a strong activist for abstinence-only education.” The guest just corrected the anchor that Palin also said condoms ought to be discussed in schools alongside abstinence.

UPDATE: Jeez, MSNBC did it again, touting the segment by saying Palin was “preaching abstinence.”

In the clip they showed, Banks does an exceptional job of humiliating Levi Johnston, asking him if he practiced safe sex, “every time.” He says yes, repeatedly, and finally concedes “most of the time.”

The MSNBC anchors add that this “could be potentially damaging to Palin’s future, and she’s “going to have to address it.”

How? Why? How, precisely, does her daughter’s fiance’s comments on a daytime talk show reflect upon her?”

And This is from Tyra Banks Website which includes a video preview:

“For the first time, Levi Johnston, the former fiancé of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol, breaks his silence and sits down exclusively with the “Tyra Show.”

Levi talks about his relationship with Bristol, what it was like to be thrust into the spotlight at the Republican National Convention, and why his engagement with Bristol Palin ended. Levi shares intimate details about his relationship with Bristol, what he really thinks of Gov. Palin and what it’s like to be a teen father.

Find out if Sarah Palin knew Levi and Bristol were sexually active and what he has to say about practicing safe sex.

Sorry, Simon. I’ve looked for that video since yesterday and I haven’t turned anything up. I’ve gone to RadarOnline, the New York Post site and various other places but I haven’t had any luck. You’d think it would have turned up somewhere by now.

You’d also think somebody in the Biden camp would have denied it by now.

I wonder if Ashley and Bo ever switch their “Hello My Name Is…” stickers when dad’s not looking?

The only item that shows up with the tag “Ashley Biden Cocaine Video” consists of a clip from the movie Der Untergang (Downfall). The subtitles make it into a scenario in which Daddy Biden finds out about the video. Worth a chuckle or two.

We’ve seen Marion Barry smoke crack and Michael Phelps huffing a bong. If our aspiring Kubrick doesn’t actually have a video, then perhaps he doesn’t know how to upload his masterpiece to a website. At any rate, something ain’t right, here…

I’m not surprised. Just another spoilt rich bitch with an amplified sense of entitlement and self worth.

If someone else had tried getting in a cop’s way while running their mouth, they would have been beaten into submission or shot. But of course, Joe Biden’s little crackhead gets a special treatment. And lol@”private family matter”. Assaulting a police officer is their private family matter? I wonder what those people do for X-Mas…

Why talk about it if you’re not gonna show it?

Why not?

Seriously, though, if you know where it’s available for viewing, please share with the class.

Discuss…

For the record, though, I thought the public discussion of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, and the way that pregnancy reflected on Sarah Palin and her husband, was appropriate and reasonable.

@ Ani: The implication behind that wasn’t that you hate Bristol, but rather Sarah and/or Greta — and it wasn’t even really aimed at you, more a generalized statement. From what you’ve said, it has seemed pretty clear to me that you dislike her in the same way that I dislike Obama, but hatred is a whole other ballgame I won’t pin on you or anyone else.

Anyway, you and I agree that it was wrong that everyone wouldn’t leave her alone. However, I feel in your original post you yourself were analyzing her to within an inch of herself since you said she’s clearly not been taught to say no, which brings us back to slinging mud at Sarah and not Bristol. In that post you also said it was different because Ashley is older than Bristol, implying that Bristol should have been looked at as a reflection of her mother when Ashley isn’t for her father — which isn’t leaving them alone either. Using a child to attack a parent is almost worse than attacking the child — you think Bristol didn’t spend every moment of that campaign (and even now, as this discussion continues) feeling guilty for the spot she put her mother in?
