I can't help but feel for Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston.
It is difficult enough to prepare for a marriage and a baby as teenagers, but the young couple can't catch a break.
First, Levi Johnston's Mother Sherry gets arrested for selling drugs.
Then the two are called high school drop-outs in media reports, even though they are both taking correspondence courses to graduate from Wasilla High School.
Now, Levi has to quit his job on the North Slope Oil Field because a local talk show radio host questioned his eligibility. Any other 18 year old would fly under the radar. But this poor kid can't catch a break. And, of course, they are using the story to attack Sarah Palin claiming she used influence to get her the job.
Levi's father Keith tells the Anchorage Daily News that he got Levi the job and the Governor had nothing to do with it. You can read the story by clicking here. Levi quit school and was excited to get the apprentice job so he could buy an engagement ring and afford to support a family. The union rules are that you need to have a High school diploma. Levi was a month away from getting one. The only reason anyone knew he hadn't graduated were from the press. This young man is collateral damage of attack dogs in the media.
Here is a picture of Mr. Dan Fagan -

You can email Fagan at Dan @KFQD.Com to tell him what you think about what he did to Levi Johnston. He is also the one who alleged (with no proof) that Sarah Palin got him the job.
Meanwhile, click here for the story of Sherry Johnston pleading not guilty in court. She appeared alone.
I can't imagine what Levi Johnston is going through. He quits college, becomes a father is about to get married, is forced to quit his job (thanks to Fagan) and his Mother goes to court on drug charges.
If this young couple can survive this, they can survive anything.

"Levi quit school and was excited to get the apprentice job" doesn't that say it all? Why should he be able to "fly under the radar"? It would have come out sooner or later, so why blame the radio host? He IS A DROPOUT - how can anyone deny that? Palin put her kids in the spotlight and drug this kid along, why do we have to leave them alone now? Why shouldn't they be held up to the same standards?
Thanks for the email address! I wrote the commentator to THANK HIM.
Hey, I see you've formed a Sarah Palin group. Awesome! I made a video about her and I'm trying to get it out there. Do you think that you could mail it to the members of your group and/or send it to as many pro-Palin people as possible? Thanks!
