Another day, another hit piece

The story of Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston apparently took another turn with a second breakup.  Because I didn't know what to make of the recent updates in this story (and also because enough people have opined about the matter), I decided not to offer my two cents on the story.  But thanks to somebody on a website, I just came across a new insulting description of Sarah Palin: “media whore”.

The writer in question criticized the mothers of both Bristol and Levi for their bad parenting, describing Levi's mom as a prescription drug addict and Sarah Palin as a “megalomaniacal media whore”.  Yeah.  Sure.  That's the reason for all of this.  It's one of the silliest reasons I've heard, in addition to being inaccurate.

What Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have done is what Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have done.  In the time since then, Bristol has been a hard-working young woman and a responsible mother, while Levi hasn't exactly come across as being anything other than a (dare I say it?) “media whore”.  Bristol, it certainly seems, has been thinking of their son by forgiving and accepting Levi again (before his latest fame-seeking stunt), while he appears to be thinking more about himself and whose picture wouldn't likely be seen next to the word mature in the dictionary anytime soon.

The only thing the writer of this brief hit piece has done is lobby the latest attack on Bristol Palin's mother.  Read the hit piece and you'll wonder, what are the odds that her blog post would be about anything other attacking Sarah Palin?
