I’m on a bit of a blogging sabbatical right now, working on a few other projects, but I felt obligated to pop my head in to comment briefly on one of Andrew Sullivan’s recent posts from some similar time off.
Look, there are no smoking guns here and it is clear that our friend Levi Johnston is riding the gravy train as far as it will take him, but I would consider myself somewhat intellectually dishonest given all the grief I’ve heaped Andrew’s way re: Trig Palin if I didn’t concur that the quoted snippet from Johnston’s Vanity Fair tell all is, at the very least, “interesting”.
That is, I suppose, if Johnston isn’t just out and out lying. I’m not suggesting that he is, but neither would I be inclined to say that he has no reason to lie about the various stories flowing out of his time with the Palins for sensational value.
At the end of the day, though, I’m still of the opinion that this particular approach to taking on the Palin machine and its rampant impact on conservative and Republican politics in America serves only to bring one down to Palin’s level in debasing the practice of politics itself.
Will Andrew someday dance a victory dance on this issue? Perhaps. But dancing a victory dance for the wrong reasons pales in comparison to the sweetness of dancing a victory dance for the right reasons where your actions both prove your point and helps to contribute to a change in discourse towards something you can feel proud in which to participate.
But you know me, I’m a wide eyed idealist.

Borat: “Very proud!”.
KGH: “I’m just listening with sadness…a little sadness for your people…?”
Borat: “Yes…no, it is not sad. It is us who do the kill!”
When in doubt,
