I run with a heady group of intellectuals so even when I do occasionally miss a pun or innuendo, there’s always a comrade right there to pick up on things and let me know where I was slacking. Such was the case when a bunch of us were tossing around an article on Sarah Palin and almost son-in-law Levi Johnston that appeared in the UK Telegraph. The rest of us just skimmed right over the whole thing ready to move on to the next topic, but leave it to John Simons to catch the almost Penthouse Forum-quality of the following quote by Johnston:
“She had a gun in her bedroom and one day she asked me to show her how to shoot it. I asked her what kind of gun it was, and she said she didn’t know, because it was in a box under her bed.”
A box under her bed? That and a woman that’s been photographed a whole gang of times holding guns now being inept as far as firearms are concerned? Wait a minute… Are you thinking what I’m thinking now and what John was thinking from the beginning? Are you thinking that if Levi had played his cards right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it) his experience would have mirrored almost exactly those of Omar Gooding in Baby Boy (5:10 mark) and very nearly those of Michael Jai White in Ringmaster?
The article concludes very neatly by explaining that Sarah and husband Todd rarely even share the same bedroom.
In this month’s Vanity Fair, Johnston confirms, as was long suspected, that Palin tried to get Levi and daughter Bristol to let her and her husband Todd adopt the eventual grandchild while keeping the fact that it was actually Bristol’s baby a secret.
Should we then put it past Ms. Palin to try to get her cougar on?
