Oh, Levi, Levi, Levi

Dan Riehl is right, this is not going to end well. Levi Johnson keeps parents of teenage girls awake at night–and it’s not because they’re looking at his scintillating Playgirl pictures. He’s exactly the kind of guy they don’t want their daughters to consort with ever. And here he is, exploiting his child’s family yet again. And he’s disgusted?

Jim Hoft says: “Maybe Levi should call Cindy Sheehan to find out how this story ends.”

Indeed. And I feel as sick watching him in the exploit-cycle as I felt watching Sheehan. It is as though neither of them are self-aware enough to know they’re being used. At the same time, their messages are so rank, that it’s difficult to feel sorry for them.

And Jules Crittendon notes how irrelevant Sarah Palin still is and has this comment on the polls:

It’s not so much that only 23 percent like her, or that 38 percent don’t like her, but that after going through the wringer as the designated target in a presidential campaign and being kicked around ever since, she still has 37 percent who haven’t heard enough or are undecided. That’s a pretty big soft area to work on over the next couple of years, while Obama keeps doing what he’s doing to his own numbers. As I heard some commentator remark the other day, a lot of people thought Ronald Reagan was a fringe joke around this time in Jimmy Carter’s presidency, too. Ball’s in her court.

I’d just like to point out that independents in New Jersey and Virginia overwhelmingly voted for Barack Obama a year ago. Now, they gave conservatives huge wins. The independents are fickle pickles. It’s kinda cool to Palin hate, but that will change as Obama’s policies get less popular.

I have more on Sarah Palin’s recent interviews here. [Oh, here's Rush's transcript, by the way.] Decided to give old Ricky Hollywood his own post. It will be one of the last ones he gets.

Also, I find this statement by John Zieglar amusing: “For many reasons, this is by far the best book and greatest literary achievement by a political figure in my lifetime.”

I am all for effusive praise, but come on. I found those sorts of reviews of Obama’s books embarrassing. This is weird, too. But John has his reasons for being so enthusiastic. He says:

Among other things, we discover that Sarah Palin has a ridiculously good memory. People who know me say that I have an amazing ability to recall events and I have written two books, but I was blown away by the level of detail in this project, which encompasses her entire life. Since the timing of Going Rogue did not allow for massive amounts of time and resources to be put into research it had to all be put together — in incredibly short order — by Palin’s own memory and notes. The notion that numerous “news” outlets thirsting to find inaccuracies have yet to find one of major significance (no, a disagreement over the definition of “vetting” does not count) may to be the greatest testament to the book’s remarkable credibility.

We’ll see. I have the book sitting here. Received it today and will read it and review it.

In the meantime, I’ll be thankful that my kids aren’t yet dating age.
