ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandchild, said the former Republican vice presidential candidate wanted to adopt his child so that people wouldn't know her 17-year-old daughter was pregnant. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Johnston said Palin had a plan to deal with Bristol's pregnancy.

"Sarah kept mentioning this plan. She was nagging — she wouldn't give it up. She would say, 'So, are you gonna let me adopt him?' We both kept telling her we were definitely not going to let her adopt the baby. I think Sarah wanted to make Bristol look good, and she didn't want people to know that her 17-year-old daughter was going to have a kid," Johnston told the magazine for its October edition, which goes on sale Saturday. Excerpts of the interview were posted Wednesday on the magazine's Web site.

Meghan Stapleton, Palin's spokeswoman, did not immediately respond to request for comment, but has previously discounted Johnston's allegations. Palin has been keeping a low profile since she resigned on July 26 with more than a year left in her first term.

A week after Republican presidential candidate John McCain named Palin as his running mate, the campaign issued a statement that her unwed daughter was pregnant. It also said Bristol, now 18, and the young man would marry.

Johnston, 19, lived in the house for two months awaiting the birth of the baby, Tripp, who was born in December. The couple called off the wedding shortly after their son's birth.

Since then, Johnston has complained in national interviews that the Palins limited his access to the boy. He's also said he's pursuing a career as an actor or model.

Johnston said the Palin home in Wasilla was not what most people would think.

"The Palin house was much different from what many people expect of a normal family, even before she was nominated for vice president. There wasn't much parenting in that house. Sarah doesn't cook, Todd doesn't cook — the kids would do it all themselves," Johnson told Vanity Fair.

Palin has four other children. The youngest, Trig, is 1 year old.

Johnston also repeated claims that Palin said she wanted to quit and write a book or host a TV show.

When Palin returned to Alaska following McCain's unsuccessful run for president, she was different, Johnston said.

"Sarah was sad for a while. She walked around the house pouting. I had assumed she was going to go back to her job as governor, but a week or two after she got back she started talking about how nice it would be to quit and write a book or do a show and make 'triple the money.'

"She would blatantly say, "I want to just take this money and quit being governor," Johnston said.

He also claims Palin is not the hockey mom or outdoorswoman she claims to be. He said she rarely attended her oldest son's hockey games, and asked Levi how to shoot a gun.

"She says she goes hunting and lives off animal meat — I've never seen it," Johnston said.

Chuck Heath, Palin's father, said his daughter has been out of Alaska for the past month writing her memoirs.

Later this month, the former governor is expected to appear at her first commercial speaking engagement during a visit to Hong Kong to address the CLSA Investors Forum, a well-known annual conference of global investment managers. Bill Clinton, Al Gore and Alan Greenspan have spoken at the event, hosted by brokerage and investment group CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.

Meh. kid's trying to get famous. Now he's just basically repeating stuff he said a couple of months ago, but as he fell out of attention, and nobody gave a shit, he is insisting on repeating it. True or not, who cares. I don't want him getting famous off of it. Maybe she was looking to profit off of her fame, write a book or have a show. Is he any better? Nope. I couldn't care less about this loser. I wish he'd just shut up already.Or, rather, I wish the media would just ignore him, and quit giving him an opportunity to voice this crap.
 
Honestly, who cares? Who cares what this stupid kid says, who cares what Palin does, who cares what the cost of tea is in China?

It's not like Palin will matter in a year. She'll go around the country barnstorming her "peeps", fading into obscurity like every other failed former VP candidate has.

She'll be the Mondale of the Republican party (failure wise).

Actually she has some really good handlers that will keep her in the press for years. The "Death Panel" comment while 100% false was brilliant. Absolutely scared the chit out of people.

Yes, he did.

The other examples I could think of, Kemp or Stockdale, i decided against using because that would've been insulting to them to mention her in the same breath. They at least accomplished something prior to running. So I went with Mondale, who got slaughtered in the 84 election.

Pat Choate probably would've been a better reference point.

Geraldine Ferraro
 
It was too easy to do Gerraldine Ferraro.

GF was in the House of Reps for 6 years though. And Vice-Chairwoman and Secretary of the House Democratic Caucus. Her main accomplishment wasn't that she was hot, or a mayor of a piss-ant town and Governor of a state that, while Russia is "right next door", has a population base just slightly more than that of Portland.

Not saying Ferraro was super qualified, but she at least was qualified.

Being hot is quite an accomplishment.

they were slightly more than Palins, but he had a few.


I edited this to show that I didn't mean that in a snide "well, he was just SLIGHTY more qualified"..I meant that in the sense that while his qualifications weren't terribly much, they were more than hers.

Well, I kind of disagree. I think they were both inadequately qualified to be VP, let alone President. A governor of a hick state, and a freshman senator with no major legislative victories to his name.

It's no wonder turnout was down over 2004.

It hardly matters what this kid says. Sarah Palin's political career was over a long time ago.

When would you say it ended?
From my point of view (which is typically different from yours), it was the Katie Couric interview.

For me it was when McCain picked her as his VP candidate. She had no chance to build herself up (on her own). She was thrust into the spotlight, unprepared and like a Minnesota deer caught in the headlights of a zamboni.
