The Clever Badger I'm not dead yet!

Please Go Away, Levi

Levi Johnston, former future son-in-law of Sarah Palin, can't seem to keep his mouth shut.

Levi, in case you've been living in a cave for the last year, came to be famous during the McCain/Palin Presidential run when it came to light that he was the father of then-pregnant Bristol Palin's child.¹

Despite a lot of talk of marriage, Bristol and Levi broke up around the time the baby was born. Bristol seems to have largely stepped out of the spotlight. Levi, on the other hand, appears to be determined to hop to whatever part of the stage the spotlight happens to be shining on.

This time he's in an upcoming Vanity Fair revealing fairly intimate details about the Palin family's private life. 

Now, as much as I don't like Sarah Palin qua a public figure, and regardless of the fact that since she is a public figure, much (but not all) of her life is open to media scrutiny, I find Johnston's actions to be reprehensible - he's basically making money off of airing other people's dirty laundry. 

That's just sleazy.

¹In fairness, thrusting an expectant teen couple onto the national stage at all, let alone in the context of a Presidential campaign, was just insane. To her credit, Bristol appears to be handling herself in her role as a young mother with a considerable amount of maturity.
