"Youthful Indescretions II - Weapon of Mass Distraction" Edition...
Daisy at Chicks on the Right:
"Ruh Roh. Liberals can no longer use Levi Johnston as a distraction from Obama’s incompetence."D. B. Light at Light Seeking Light:
"I see two points to make here. The first is that the MSM was quick to jump on and publicize Johnston's lies about Governor Palin. Stories trashing the Palins were ubiquitous -- but the retraction, not so much. By contrast, note the skepticism with which the press treats scandalous allegations made against liberal icons. Secondly, once again MSM sources were trumped by the entertainment/tabloid press. People magazine, the National Inquirer and other such sources are now taking the lead in uncovering and resolving scandals. This would not be happening if the MSM were doing their jobs."Gregory of Yardale at Moonbattery:
"Johnston has apologized to the Palins. Don't hold your breath waiting for CBS, CNN, MSNBC, or the Puffington Host to do the same. I hope this is the first step on Levi Johnston's long road to growing up and becoming a man. I don't think there's any such hope for the deranged, Palin-hating left."Lance Burri at Troglopundit:
"That’s Mr. Palin to you, punk."Kyle Drennen at NewsBusters:
"One wonders when CBS will offer a similar apology for so aggressively promoting Johnston, despite his lack of credibility. At the very least, the network should acknowledge the fact that he now recants past statements he made on their air."Jim Treacher at The DC Trawler:
"Andrew Sullivan must be wracking whatever’s left of his brains right now, gazing longingly at the Winter 2010 Playgirl and weeping."Dan Riehl at Riehl World View:
"Andrew Sullivan propped up Levi Johnston as the obvious truth-teller within the extended Palin clan. Out of all of them only Levi deserved to be taken seriously... according to Andy... Now, comes... the story of Levi Johnston's apology to the Palins and his admission of distorting the facts. Careful, Levi, Andy may begin investigating your birth to prove that you were not born of your real family..."Beth Shaw at Blue Star Chronicles:
"Now that Levi Johnston apologizes to the Palin family for his ‘youthful indiscretion’, will he start showing a little more class and a little less of his skin? We hope so."Gay Patriot:
"I didn’t catch the major news sources devoting as much time to his apology as they did to his fabrications. Wonder if any of them will engage in soul-searching about their readiness to believe his tales and their rush to give him lots of air time. Seems they’re only interested in the salacious details of the lives of Republican candidates for Vice President, given that this young man was given far more air time than a certain masseuse from Oregon."Melissa Clouthier at Liberty Pundits:
"In the last two years, Levi Johnston has made a complete ass of himself and been used like the prostitute he’s been by the media."Mike's America at Flopping Aces:
"If only this would serve as an example to the Palin haters who continue to lie about Sarah for fame and profit... [Levi] dished the dirt and like so many of the other wild, unfounded Palin rumors much of the 'news' media ran with it without bothering to check. What a contrast with the skepticism that the media demonstrates when charges are leveled against a Democrat like Al Gore... Don’t hold your breath waiting for the Democrat smear merchants to apologize for their Palin rumormongering... Most of those Dems never had any integrity to being with."Doug Powers at The Powers That Be:
"Now that Johnston’s apology is out of the way, we’ll wait for Sullivan’s. But since we’re still waiting for the left to apologize for blaming the death of Census worker Bill Sparkman on 'right wing tea party extremists,' I think we’ll be waiting a while."Hillbuzz:
"Kathy Griffin is an unfunny gorgon whose mean-spiritedness and 'hijinks' destine her for karmic comeuppance... We’d heard numerous stories of Ricky Hollywood going to various showbiz parties and receiving the same cold shoulder bottom feeders like Griffin are given. No one especially wanted him around, his fifteen minutes were up, so maybe he sees that his future lies in Alaska…so it’s best for him long-term to mend fences with the people he trashed for the better part of a year with Griffin at his side."Rob Port at SayAnythingBlog:
"Levi should count his lucky stars that the Palin family is more likely to let it be water [under] the bridge as opposed to contacting their attorneys. What he did was, by his own admission, libel."Mike Opelka at Big Journalism:
"The only ones astonished to discover that a 17-year-old boy lied in order to get famous are the professional journalists who would rather interview Tina Fey pretending Sarah Palin than to be forced to actually speak with the former vice-presidential candidate herself... Rumor has it that MSNBC may be forced to cancel their next two-hour smear special denying the intelligence of the Tea Party members in order to retract all of the not-completely-true things said about Sarah Palin by hosts Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and the non-related O’Donnells (Nora and Lawrence)... And if I may suggest it to the programming gurus at GE, weekends on MSNBC would be perfect for a family values reality show to counter-balance the seemingly endless parade of prison programs offered while Keith, Rachel, Chris and Mr. Ed are stocking up on Obama Kool-Aid for the coming election season."- JP
