Will Residents of Wasilla Alaska Be The Fools Of Levi Johnston?

Wasilla, Alaska is about to get some attention from the media. It seems Levi Johnston, the ex-boyfriend of Bristol Palin has made plans to become a total fool by running for Mayor of the 4th largest city in Alaska.

Talk about the need to stay in the public eye. Levi, a high school dropout who didn’t even complete his 11th year of schooling might actually believe he has a chance of defeating Wasilla’s current Mayor, Verne E. Rupright. According to Levi, he is “for real” in declaring his candidacy and it has nothing to do with a reality show that he and his backers are hoping to sell. Let us hope the general disinterest in it being bought continues.

Rupright took it in stride and believes it laughable, as indicated by his jab at Levi’s announcement and past posing in Playgirl magazine. Rupright told reporters, “Since I am nearly old enough to be Levi’s grandfather I think it would be wise for him to get a high school diploma and keep his clothes on. The voters like that!”

Wasilla means, “breath of fresh air” in Alaska’s native tribe tongue from the area and no doubt it could use one, because this idiotic move by Levi Johnston stinks of a publicity stunt. Sadly, Levi had to bring his son into the mix. “I want trip to be proud of me,” he said, referring to his run for Mayor. Poor trip. Born of an uneducated father with no common sense who can’t see he is being played by those trying to salvage a lost cause of a reality show.

If Levi Johnston wasn't such a publicity hound, you might feel sorry for him. If he was just a simpleton you could excuse him for being a twit. The trouble is, he is a twit seeking the constant glow of that shining light of a stage, as he pursues some type - any type - of celebrity status. Other than a few who might listen to him out of some morbid curiosity during his "campaign," like those who can't help but slow down when passing an accident, voters in Wasilla will only gawk when they see this train wreck heading their way.

If he had any chance of an entertainment career, he just put the last nail in that coffin. Levi Johnston will only have a career as the American public's court jester. He'll appear occasionally just to provide us a laugh at his expense.

Levi, listen to the Mayor and finish high school. With your diploma in hand you might yet have a career in which the public will hang on your every word, as you grab a microphone and ask, "Do you want fries with that?"
