Liberals Still Trying To Destroy Palin Family
Hatred knows no bounds.
Levi Johnston, the boyfriend of Gov. Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol, has quit his North Slope oil field job over questions about his eligibility to work in an electrical apprenticeship program, Johnston’s father said Monday.
Johnston, 18, began working this fall in the Milne Point oil field with ASRC Energy Services Inc., a major Slope contractor.
In a Sunday newspaper column, Anchorage radio talk show host Dan Fagan questioned how Johnston could take part in ASRC’s apprenticeship program without a high school diploma.
Fagan said he understood federal regulations require all members of apprenticeship programs to have a diploma. He also questioned whether the governor might have had a hand in getting Johnston into the program.
Palin adamantly denied that Monday.
Johnston’s father, Keith Johnston, said the governor had nothing to do with getting Levi the Slope job. Keith Johnston said his own position as an ASRC construction engineer accounts for any help his son received in landing work.
You gotta feel for the Johnston family. They didn’t choose a political life, and yet so far they’ve had everything from Levi’s fishing violations to his career decisions to his mother’s arrest on drug charges splashed about the national media all because of his relationship with the daughter of a Republican Vice Presidential candidate.
Remember when Al Gore’s son got picked up for a drug-and-booze fueled 100mph road race in his Prius? Everyone in the media talked about how it didn’t matter that he was Gore’s son, and that he should be treated like everyone else by the media and government officials.
And they were right.
Just wish they didn’t have a different standard for Republicans.
