Married To The Mob

What will Kathy Griffin say? Levi Johnston is not only back with Bristol Palin, he's asked her to marry him. And they've already posed for this Us cover (July 26, 2010). Apparently, they didn't even tell Sarah Palin about their engagement, though the Palins have issued a supportive statement that nevertheless reads as if it were scratched into steel by grizzly claws.

Levi, who was always good for some lampooning of the Palins, seems to have retired from common sense, noting:

"That part of my life is over. I'm never going to say anything bad about her or her family. And I will never leave her."

But perhaps it's more a matter of luring Bristol away from the dark side with a velvet glove. It doesn't sound too hard, considering Sarah Palin is finding out about this engagement from Us! Bristol says, of using the magazine to announce everything to her mom:

"It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board."

Or overboard.

Maybe Bristol will be the next Tori Spelling on the outs with her mom.

It's hard to believe that Sarah and her husband good old what's his name were out of the loop on this. What sort of family values are going on if the parents have no clue... no wonder Bristol got knocked up. These plots are out of comic books, aren't they? Oh, Levi, this fairy tale won't be pretty... and good luck on those positive comments about mommy dearest.

This is just so weird! Sounds like the Palin camp is trying to throw Bristol under the bus so they won't have to deal with her during the campaign.
