If You Talk to Larry King or Dr. Phil. . .

Being the sucker for a good old-fashioned Baby Mama Drama, I got to spend my Saturday night watching Bristol Palin's baby daddy and ex-fiance, Levi Johnston on "Larry King Live".  He was joined by his mother and sister, who offered their moral support and expressed their love for baby Tripp.  In Levi's mind, he is probably sharing his saga with various media junkets to drum up some sympathy for himself.  He shares this sad story of a young man, who longs to have a relationship with his infant son, and is prevented from doing so by the megalomaniac Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin.  Governor Palin is the evil queen, keeping the prince away from the princess.  Levi has the love of his mother and sister on his side, his strongest weapons against the powerful Governor Palin.  I am always fascinated with Caucasian folks who run to Larry King, Greta Van Sustern, and Nancy Grace, as if these people are the golden tickets to prolonging their fifteen minutes.  Larry grilled Levi on every intimate detail of his relationship with Bristol, including where they had sex, how many times, favorite sexual positions, etc.  Larry wanted to know if everyone's parents were aware, how they reacted to being notified of the pregnancy, and the gory details of the current Palin vs Johnston feud.  Levi's sister, Mercede, also revealed that she wants a relationship with the baby and she was not allowed to talk to Levi, her brother/BFF, because Bristol didn't like her.  This kind of drama is better than soap operas or the craziest novella on Univision.  I noticed that the Johnston family had some very odd facial expressions and delayed responses to questions.  I heard Larry King is rather flatulent during interviews, so I wonder how that impacted this whole event.
