Levi Johnston: Sarah Palin Resigned Over Money

Levi Johnston: Sarah Palin Resigned Over Money

Earlier this month, Sarah Palin announced her resignation as governor of Alaska. Now, her former future son-in-law (and father of her grandson) Levi Johnston is speaking to Today about it:

On how Palin had discussed quitting before: “She was talkin’ about how [being governor] is a very stressful job. After the campaign and things, we had tons of offers, from everybody out there; just all kinds of ridiculous things. There had been talk about, ‘It’d be nice to just take the money and run.’”

On the rumors that Palin is getting a $7 million advance for her book: “I’ve heard anything from $7 million to $9 million. It’s up there.”

On Palin changing after she lost the last election: “[She wasn't] as outgoing. I didn’t see the spark in her eyes about being governor… The fame got to her head. Just being up there and running for vice president, it’s totally different than governor. There’s cameras every day, she had secrets service… You name it. Seeing how she acted when it was all gone, I think it definitely got to her head.”

Watch Levi‘s interview below!

I love this kid. He gives us an insight into how really screwed up this family is. Who doesn’t love drama? These people belong as far away from the White House as possible.

What a bitter young man he portrays himself as. He should keep his mouth shut for the sake of his son and not spill such bitterness to gain attention. That’s his son’s grandmother he’s dissing, and that’s bad.

this guy is a douchbag. He should stop talking and maybe do something productive with his life instead of using the Palin family to start his “acting career”.

I voted for Obama.I am a Democrat,independent thinker,oops,I just told you my secret there about an being an independent thinker.
I do not like Palin,politically.
What is the difference between Repubs and Democrats?
Real Democrats say say when Dems are right and when they are wrong. They can say when Repubs are right and they are wrong.
Soto Kristen and the Kristens #6 on here,lets not go there.This is NOT about politics.
NOW,can somebody please shut this ingnorant and stupidlittle boy up?He is a worhtless piece of sh*t. Why is anything likeToday Show interviewing him.Interview Palin. Her Lt.Gov.
This boy is proof for these teenage girls,look, you get an adult relationship you should not be in with trash, and you have a baby with this trash so you sort of have this piece of smelly sh*t around STILL!!!!This boy is tiring to be famous. He is telling themost private things,;likewhat Palin and her husband were saying at the breakfast table. Can he be sent off to boardinbg school? Oh,too old for that. He is a piece of trash.100% trash.
And he is ugly too.

Nasty…why give him airtime…he’s a loser.

Levi is too dumb to think of lies so I believe him about Palin. I don’t think much of him either but atlas, he has an excuse that he is young. What’s Palin’s excuse? I think money and offers are the reasons why she quit; Sarah got a taste of fame and fortune and she wants more….screw that public service.
I swear the Palins are a lot like the Gosselins. ….all class. LOL.
