How Sad: Levi Johnston All Alone
2009 December 30
By Andrew Sullivan
Johnston fought to allow the custody matter to unfold in public, saying in a sworn statement that doing so would help put everyone on best behavior. He noted that Van Flein also represents Sarah Palin.
“I know that public scrutiny will simplify this matter and act as a check against anyone’s need to be overly vindictive, aggressive or malicious, not that Bristol would ever be that way, nor that I would. But her mother is powerful, politically ambitious and has a reputation for being extremely vindictive,” Johnston said in his affidavit. “So, I think a public case might go a long way in reducing Sarah Palin’s instinct to attack.”

Really sad is how our ever growing politipop culture keeps nurturing and extending the public lifetimes of these people. I think the 15 minutes of fame is becoming a tiresome and endless infamy in altogether too many cases.
