Levi Johnston must stop talking

It must have been a slow news day in America and at The Herald when we thought it important enough to care and write about what Levi Johnston has to say about Sarah Palin.

First off, the kid, yes kid, Levi, is what, 19? He is still young and wet behind the ears … so wet that you can still smell baby powder on his bottom. He has no right to say what Sarah does as a mother. He got Bristol Palin pregnant. He was not smart enough to use a condom, to prevent this pregnancy. He has not been man enough to step up and take responsibility and marry Bristol and be the father to Tripp he should be.

He has little, very little, experience as a father or an adult, to even come close to scrutinizing Sarah on what she cooks for dinner, How many soccer games she attends, etc. It is none of his business. Sarah has been a remarkable governor to Alaska. She gave birth to a baby with Downs Syndrome. She ran for vice president. What has Levi done beside knock up his girlfriend? Nothing. How can a child be credible on anything he has no knowledge of? He isn’t even old enough to drink. He is a 19-year-old, wanna-be Mr. Big Shot. He needs to pull up his training pants and take care of his own house before he throws stones at Sarah Palin’s house.
