When Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston first split, she said she wanted him to be in their son Tripp's life.  Well, Levi took a few turns in the road that have angered the Palin's and rightly so.

First he trashed his in-laws in a Vanity Fair article and then he decided to accept a nude posing assignment for Playgirl.  I understand, a guy has to make a living. But each time he seems to be chasing headlines. We have heard more from him mouthing off about the Palin's than we have about his affection for his child.  And so now, he wants joint custody.  Levi Johnston to Sue for Joint Custody of Son Tripp 

How serious is he about grabbing headlines? " Kathy Griffin appeared on Joy Behar's show on Friday and much of the conversation revolved around - guess who - Levi Johnston (who actually called in to the show.)"  Kathy Griffin: Levi Johnston Needs 'a Very Large Fig Leaf'

I will repeat what I said earlier about this young man in desparate need of a mentor.  Shame on Vanity Fair for giving him a voice.  He should have instead been given a full course on growing up:
  • First assignment: "Safe sex"  written 10,000 times
  • Assigned reading: Love and Marriage 101: What is love?  
  • Assigned classes: Marriage, intimacy, and responsibility
  • Independent study:  A health clinic with all of the young people who will never have the luxury of falling in with a political family and then making money trash-talking them.
  • Assigned role model:  If this story of a young man clearly without a role model were not so sad, he would be receiving  the belated Irresponsible Sex Award.  ( Levi, meet  Blake Mycoskie and a team of volunteers, that traveled at their own expense, and donated shoes to school children.  This story from our New Orleans Generation X Examiner.   TOMS shoes gives to New Orleans kids
