CNN

This is not news!!

Smart for Playgirl. Judging from from the outside they will have to airbrush to make it interesting

You maggots are pathetic; EVERY chance you get to drum up any negative press about Palin you jump like a cat, then you use CHILDREN to advance your agenda? Disgusting little leftists. Just FYI, your so-called 'news organization' is nothing I read for information; I just want to see what the latest propaganda your spewing is. This is why Fox News's ENTIRE primetime lineup kicks your ass EVERY night. Dipsh!ts.

Not that he was exactly overflowing with credibility before or known for his high intellect, but good grief man. That's how you are going to cash in on your 15 minutes of fame? What a (well built) moron!

Credibility-right down the drain. ANYthing for money!

CNN is becoming the political version of "People" or "Us.!" Why would they put this in the ticker...although it will probably get 300 responses.

If he gets any attention out of it or makes any money Sarah Palin will offer to pose to Playgirl too.

Who cares?????

Levi Johnson is a free loader. He needs to take responsibility and get a job and take care of his child.

WHAT AN IDIOT! This guy is really trying to find his fame and fortune.

I'd like to see Bristol Palin in Playboy. Fair is fair!!

Levi is living of his connection to the Palin's. He needs to get a job and take responsibility of fatherhood. He is riding off who he knows.

All I can say is ..disgusting! He is a pig, an opportunist, and it seems to follow the trend of the entire group involved with Sarah Palin! I am just sorry and saddened that infant children were held up in front of cameras for their own political and personal benefit. I think it is interesting that they are on the soap box for pro-life, but give the actually life of an infant child such disrepect!

Sad, he probably lied about the Palins, he just wanted a career.

Oh yes! Another nail in the coffin of Sarah Palin's dwindling aspirations.

After this piece of work goes bollocks in the media, we WILL have the Palin- Johnston (aka Jukes and Kalakaks) to punt around some more.

This is the gop gift that keeps on giving; a constant reminder of gop stupidity and McCain mendacity. I will give a $1000 to her offical campaign committe if they will run het in 2012

And this information belongs in the politics section because??????????????

How do you think his mama will pay her legal bills now that he isnt in the pants of Alaksa's 1st daughter?...
More good times from the family values people, when does it end, when will it end.Does Mrs Palin read Playgirl or simply act the part of a dimwitted bimbo?

Sordid as it all seems, I say more power to him. That witch of a would-be mother-in-law of his pushed this kid into the spotlight and then demonized him, so good for him for using every second of his resultant fifteen minutes of fame and milking it for every penny.

I don't blame him. We're in a recession. Do what you have to do Levi. I'm cool with you. Can't stand that Palin witch though...

Sad, most of what he said was probably lies, he just wanted a career.

Great. We get to see inside Levi's Levis to see the Palin babymaker. Sheesh, when did this become news? I just hope Tom Delay does not join him in a photoshoot.

Go back to your trailer.

Good for him! Anyway he can make money from this is great!

He needs the money to take care of that baby now that Sarah and her husband have quit their jobs.

What a loser. He tried to capitalize on his dubious connection to the Palin family, and now he resorts to posing naked in PlayGirl to try extend his 2 minutes of fame?
Hopefully Palin'd daughter will snatch most of his payment for this photo shoot for child support. I can't see where he's getting money to pay child support right now. He must owe.
Mothers teach your daughters to stay away from LOSERS like this.
His parents are LOSERS too, to allow their son to behave in such reprehensible ways.

Congratulations CNN, as they say, "You have jumped the shark" as far as your PUT OUT ANY PALIN STORY even it it has nothing to do with them, just allow for the sheep to bleat on about them endlessly.

While your looking for hard hitting stories, how about MENTIONING Shelly Obama flat out making up the sitting on Daddies lap story in regards to Carl Lewis as she would have been in her twenties, MMMMMM Obama MMMMM.

How about looking back at the debates and the ads run last year where Obama HAMMERED Hillary for being for making folks pay for NOT GETTING HEALTHCARE while he was AGAINST that idea????

His ads and words back then are different than now bigtime.

Lastly, how about the administrations photo-op fiasco where they were caught handing out lab coats to the doctors the other day as we are too dumb to listen and find out they were doctors.

Selected, Elected and now cowardly Protected.

Seriously, isn't this guy's 15 minutes of fame up yet??? Why would anyone be interested in seeing him without clothes?? I'm not a fan of Sarah Palin or her politics, but I say her daughter is LUCKY to be rid of this guy. Go away buddy!

This whole family and their buds are such a bunch of stupid trailer-trash dirtbags! Vice President? I wouldn't vote for Palin for assistant dogcatcher.

Proof that everything he has done and said since entering the scene as the Bristol Palin sperm donor has been wanton self-promotion. We can now officially discount anything he says that he gets paid for....

Gosh, what is it about people associated with Palin who sell themselves out? He's ugly and gross, and it's pathetic that he feels the need to get naked just to stay in the spotlight for another 15 minues. How embarrasing. He has no shame, no morals, and no values. I'm sure his kid will grow up to be proud of his family history. Sad, and pathetic.

No more questions about this gem.

He is going to stretch these 15 minutes as far as he can!

Hilarious.
The pathetic things is Playgirl obviously thinks this will increase sales.
I can't blame Levi for taking the money. This is evidence of our celebrity-crazed culture once again rearing its superficial, short attention span once again.

Surely nobody is paying any attention to this news snippet.
With everything that is happening around the world and in your country you make this newsworthy .
Shame on you to waste time and space on a little bottom feeder boy.

Ok I just choked on my lasagna....umm...WHAT?!?!?!?

Levi is a joke and always has been, just like Sarah Palin.

Can we please stop reporting on this guy and get back to the news?

Looks like he fell in with the right family–train wreck all the way to the bank.

Put this in the 'who cares' column. I'm thinking that Levi's 15 minutes of fame have long expired.

I just threw up a little in my mouth... eck.

So now everyone can see what only Sarah Palins daughter saw. Also doesn't mind badmouthing Her mother but nothing written about His own mother who could face jailtime for dealing with drugs.

and who cares?

Say it 'aint so, Levi.

What a role model dad this guys going to be! One bad, selfish decision after another.

Photoshop!! For the love of God Please Photoshop!!!!!! We, the female and gay/bi male public do NOT want to be subjected to his unaltered and hockey beaten body.

White trash....GOP trademark.

Levi Johnston – 19-year-old father.

A Kid father of another Kid.

Only in America Kids can Father Kids and Government pays for their support.

He will pay child support with the money he makes from PlayGirl.

Time for the Johnston!!!

All I can say is "EEEEWWWW gross!"

I blame McCain. He unleashed Palin and people who were connected to Palin on all of us.

Capitalizem at its best, money talkes......

Just a low life...wanting to make money at his child's expense. Says volumes as to his creditability in what he said about the Palin family...meaning it is probably not true and he wanted the money...and would have said anything for it. A true scumbag.

YUCK! YUCK! YUCK! I just lost my lunch!

Please don't embarrass yourself.

Can't wait to see!

Go Levi!

Good grief, what is our world coming to when we have to be exposed to that?

This male gives other males a bad name.
I will not call him a man because he hasn't acted like a real man.

And why on earth is something like this on the ticker?
This is something I would expect to see on a tabloid website, not CNN.

Go for it!! I aint mad at ya!!!

Good for him, he might as well make some money on his looks. That is what Sarah is doing and who would care to hear what she has to say. We all know she can see Russia from her front porch, what else is there to say.

The whole Palin family is trailor trash. We could have had Levi's mother in law (or ex mom in law) , Sarah as our president. Thank you Republican party, the party of NO, greed, we- hate- any- positive- change- for-the- middle -class, the environment, and oh yes, hypocrytes with their 'family value' routine. What a pathetic bunch.

Is everyone in Alaska nuts?... No pun intended

Is this a great country or what?

Have we lost our collective minds? Does this story belong in the Political Ticker?

From what I hear he doesn't even need the foldout.

He's going for the money, just following Sarah Palins road to fortune and fame.........maybe Sarah will pose for Playgirl if she doesn't bring in the money she expects with her book.......

Oh, the family values! Oh, the humanity!

This is sick! This just goes to show that Levi will do anything for money and he is not credible! Levi, you may as well shut up about Sarah Palin. You have proven that you can be bought! Keep your clothes on and go back to Alaska. How about being a person of integrity? Do it for your child!

This is some funny stuff right here...
Money....all of it, the whole thing...it is always for the money.

This boy is the poster boy of why liberal ideas do not work. He is making money and showing off what people are willing to pay.

so he's paying child support, then?

All in the family ! Palin is next.

What a jerk.

Stop! Enough with this imbecile. Thank God the Palins don't have to add this nightmare to their family tree.

This is shocking! There's still a Playgirl magazine? I just can't believe it.

..And again everyone says, " and this is all you can find for news!"

This is NOT politics – get out of the trash, Ticker......

The first dude-in-law just went beyond Rogue. Now that is the "gotcha media!" Alright, I'm done.

Why is this being reported on the Politics page? In fact, why is it being reported AT ALL?

This is beyond disgusting. What is wrong with these people?

Levi, just be sure to use all of your allowed child visitation dates with your son and be sure to pay your child support. Document everything! If you make alot of money, the Palin's are sure to want some of it.

And why is this artical under political ticker????
This story, along with any Palin rubbish should be under
entertainment. Even though it's not.

CNN so this is political news, Sara must be proud.

Why do we care? The guy's a nutjob, and anyone who says Sarah pushed him into the spotlight, he seems to be doing just fine staying there without her, so don't put this on her.

I am soooooooooo glad the White Trash Clan didn't make it to the White House ...

Go Levi!

Family values would have played well for Sarah Palin if she had been elected. I wonder if Sarah is going to buy a copy, hoping Russia can be seen?

Money money money money....

How much more trashy can these people get?

I have no problem with the man stretching out his 15 minutes of fame. Pictures in Playgirl are not a good idea when you have a child. How will he explain that to his child when pictures show up in a random online search?

Good Grief

CNN should poll this. "Will Sarah Palin check out Levi's nude photos?" My vote would be YES!!!!!

Pure white trash! no shame whatsoever!

sorry don,t want to here anymore about sarah and family now that she pales along with communist

unlike sarah he knows what he is capable of. if she would jusat do the same for a girly mag andf get paid and then go away. sarah please pose get paid and go see if a bear poops in the woods

Take your 15 mins of fame, Loser.

This is political news?

Betcha Sarah will buy the first copy.

Oh, Lord! Just what we need...another person famous for no good reason posing nude. He joins the ranks of Jessican Hahn and others who become famous for doing absolutely nothing (of value) and then pose nude. Why have we come to the point that our news outlets are flooded with stories about the sex lives of politicians and their families? Don't you have anything more important to report?

I've never seen a more concerted attempt to demolish someone as I've seen by the left wing media, notably CNN, as I have by their efforts with Sarah Palin.

Seriously, this is news? Levi Johnston. A redneck lowlife that the left is using to hammer on Palin.

You should be awful proud of yourself CNN by continuously running these stories.

There is a reason you are getting your collective behinds handed to you by Fox News.

As a gay male I look forward to seeing this.

No comment. :{

going rogue, going nude....

This guy us such a tool. I'm starting to dislike him even more than S. Palin. But it just goes to show you the kind of associations that the Palin family aligns itself with. "Birds of a feather...", right?

I can think of a lot of men I'd like to see in Playgirl but Levi would be the last one on my list. Can't imagine why anyone would pay him to pose nude?

John McCain unleashed a trainwreck and a circus on America with his running mate choice.....further proof he lacked the judgement to lead our country wounded deeply by eight years of Bush and Cheney. Enjoy your beer money John......thanks to you we could USE the beer to endure the Palin fiasco!

I commend the young men of this country like Levi for making the ultimate sacrifice for us.

God Speed,

Congressman Frank

Yup... more of those good Alaskan family values. From the Republican Convention to P(l)aygirl. Nice.

ca-ching...

Right about now I'd be doing the same thing. Anything for a buck (almost) Problem is it would spell the end of Playgirl...

Wow, great family values there. Way to go GOP.

At least Levi Johnston is not breaking any laws like his former in law Ms. Palin did when she was governor of Alaska.

He's working out day and night for weeks, because his current Pillsbury Doughboy figure woulnd't cut the mustard.

Levi is cashing in while the dough is their for the taking,just like his almost mother in law.Its all about the money,just ask the big Death Assurance Companies.If your not dead yet,they will make sure your dead when you run out of money.

Makes sense. I mean, nobody cares about what he thinks, so he might as well get by on his looks.

This is awesome....I can not wait!!!!

We all have bills to pay...he is working. Who can blame the guy. Most of America is receiving unemployment or some kind of government assistance now.

He has been told to the same thing he was told to do for Palin's campaign. Look good and keep your mouth shut. I'll bet he's being paid a lot more this time.

Hope he stops making comments– he's lost all credibility now.

This is one really DUMB guy. He's being manipulated by everyone for their purposes while being on an ego trip at a young age. If you've ever heard him speak, all he has to sell is his face and now body. He's the male equivalent of the dumb blonde stereotype. This poor boy needs a mother and father in his life to keep him away from the wolves who surround him.

What a nitwit. I feel sorry for their child.

Wonder if Sarah will take a peek – you betcha (wink, wink)!!

I can't wait to see this! YUM!

This is definitely a top issue, thank you for bringing it to everyone's attention! I also wanted to point out how this article clearly shows that the Republicans have no plans for health care reform and are just plain evil! Knowing the Levi Johnston is going to pose nude is really going to help me become informed about the most pressing issues facing the country and stimulate my political thought!

Alaska and the Palin family must be so proud!
What a loser...

I don't know what's more surprising – the news about Levi posing for Playgirl or the fact Playgirl is still being published. I thought that magazine had folded years ago.

So now we know who he is at the core of his being!

What is the criteria for being a "news" story on the Ticker?

Levi Johnson is a real handsome "hunk." I sure hope hope he wises-up before using his body behaving in a naughty fashion. Those good looks, used wisely in more constructive ways, could make him a fortune eventually. He should check his morals, get sweet and stay that way. More people would admire his for his good behavior than all those sickos who would pin his nude photo on the wall of their rooms.

Utter disgrace. This person has lost all dignity.

what a piece of no talent garbage!!! he is also a loser, a liar and a piece of pond scum. he has a new baby and this is how he builds a life so that he can raise it. he is more interested in himself. seems to me he was going to complete his education and get married. no wonder children grown up to be so dysfunctional now days when their parent's actions say to them "you are not important to me."

Why not?!? The Palins have done far worse. Go for it Levi!

Sarah would do the same thing for PlayBoy if she was younger and she'd get major bucks for it. Sarah will do anything to attract a vote. Sick.

Don't be fooled. Only guys look at that mag.

This is no more sad or bizarre than Palin being paid to make speeches and "writing" a book.

On the one hand, I say "Who cares? This guys claim to fame is he is a pimple on the butt of a mental flea."

On the other hand, I say "go for it" – Palin dragged him into the spotlight with the rest of her dysfunctional brood and at least he is getting some positive traction out of it.

...what else would you expect "Trailer Park Trash" to do?

How about one for the fellas? Sarah?

LOL, LOL, LOL. We have made this loser a celebrity. How sad is this?

he is hot! he'd be even hotter if he was a democrat!

With the economy like it is I don't blame him their are a lot of guys that would do the same thing.

Who cares???

Levi has jumped the shark, or more likely become embraced by the brainless libs.

Oh Lawd Ham Mercy. Just when you think these people would just go away, they are about to strip naked.

Uhhh, Levi. Your 15 minutes of fame are over.

Then again, maybe the Palin crowd will make you the poster boy for irresponsible teenage fatherhood, as I'm sure that you are spending lots of time with your child.

I'm going to have to miss that one.

WOW this kid really is a lost soul!!!! And looks more desperate with every one of these stunts.

hahahahahaha. and this is news. Thank you sarah "stupid death panel"

He knows that Playgirl mag is not really for women right? HAHA

Get a job and get a life, Levi. Your fifteen minutes ended long ago. You are more disgusting with every stunt you orchestrate.

John McCain......I cant thank you enough for bringing the Palin family into the spotlight! The moments of sheer laughter at the absurdity and egomanical behavior of these money grubbers in all their various forms is pure entertainment!!

Oh goody, maybe he can get a date with Paris Hilton and they can plan the perfect date.

He's pretty much as low as it gets. Should really make Mom and Dad proud. The only reason it even matters to some is they think it will embarrass Sarah Palin in some way. Her Dog could pose nude and CNN Headline News would make it Breaking News Headlines.

I guess the apple does not fall far from the tree for the Johnston family. Anything to make a buck.

What a loser....and what a fine example he's turning out to be for his child...oh yeah, he's still a child himself.

Shouldn't this moron be taking care of his child instead of posing nude for Playgirl?

its wasn't enough that poor Bristol was exposed to this guys nudity......now the rest of us too!!! Another fallout from Palin corruption.....

Classy. Trying everything possible to stretch that 15 minutes of fame into 16. He's becoming as much a joke as Palin is.

This kid is a nut job. Good thing Palin's daughter didn't marry him! He's probably doing this to make money to support his and his family's drug habit plus all of the media attention has simply gone to his head. Sad.

Ah, see, young ladies, just because it might look good doesn't make it good. Just ask the mother of his illegitimate son. It is the young woman who is left to deal with the results of his philandering, alone.

Does anyone besides the CNN staff really care?

I used to think the Hefner empire had a little class. If it goes ahead with the Johnston photo shoot it can flush any class down the toilet. This young man is a disgusting pig and the poster child of what a young man should not be. No teen girl needs this crap.. I do not care for Mrs. Palin nor her politics but this guy is an ass. I am sorry Bristol. You and your child do not deserve what this self serving jerk is doing.

So what else is new? What a sad family and friends! Pity the kids.

What next America?

THIS is worthy off CNN? Give me a break.

My brain hurts from all the possible comments to be made on this article.

I am asking everyone with an ounce of DIGINITY to cancel your subscription to playgirl magazine, and also please tell everyone to BOBCOTT this magazine with a picture of this LOSER in it.

Oh, go away.

Levi, You are a fool and I am glad the old girlfriend have moved on. Another thing, You talk 222222 much. Money is in your blood, you can tell you are not use to NOTHING!

Why don't you ask this irresponsible absentee father why he is not back home in Alaska taking care of his son instead of squeezing the last drops out of the 15 minutes of fame he stabbed the mother of his child and her mother in the back to get?

Add another one to the "opportunist" column. Anything for the "almighty buck". If it is selling a book or posing nude Levi has learned well from the Palin family. When it comes to money sell your soul to the Devil. James Dobson, you must really be proud.

And why is this NEWS????!!!!!!! Who cares??? Please, enough is enough!!!!

hard to believe these buffoons were only a few thousand votes from the white house.

but i guess that's just kind of country we live in.

Bristol should keep her baby as far away from this idiot as possible and any money he make should be used to pay for the baby;s hospital birth expense and he should pay that baby every penny he made for using that baby's picture in vanity fair, he just trying to earn a dollar anyway he can to try and get his drug using and drug selling
mama out of jail, keep in mind an apple don't fall far from the tree and the tree Levi fell from was IGNORNANT AND ROTTEN FROM THE ROOT. LEVI GO IN A HOLE AND STAY UNTIL IT;S TIME TO SEE YOUR SHADOW, YOU ARE A WORTHLESS GROUNDHOUND.

Levi needs his 15 min of fame...has to pay baby momma some child support...Maybe next we can see him in Play Girl and see what he's really made of? My guess is its tiny and he has little mans syndrome...thats why he needs all this nonsense exposure..LEVI WHO CARES U R A NOBODY!!

Please stop covering this waste of space.

Fair play to him. If Sarah Palin can splash herself over the media then why not let the lad make some money from all this scandal. Good luck to you Levi. Just follow Sarahs example and get what you can.

Cnn you have a serious problem

This is not politics. This is not news. This is a waste of space and eyeball time. 300+ comments to follow, I'm sure.

'Can't WAIT!!!!!

If this represents our Christian society I'm considering converting to Islam. They don't put up with this crap. Muslims have conservative social values. Christians could take a lesson from Muslims.

I believe the only person that may purchase the Playgirl issue of Levi would be Barney Frank.

Once a pig, always a pig!

I guess if you live long enough you'll see everything.

... and Todd Palin is wondering, "Why didn't I think of that? We sure could use the money now that Sarah and I don't have jobs."

Just think of the media frenzy that would result if Levi could convince his almost mother-in-law to pose nude with him!!!

They could both make enough to go moose hunting forever!!!

he's a loser. his 15 minutes were up before they started.

Who can blame the kid? Afterall it was McCain and Palin who thrust this poor kid onto the national stage, he should profit just like Palin.

this is not news , even about this gop trash

Maybe I'm wrong but I think most people would rather see Bristol in Playboy. Get this nucklehead out of the news. This is one I disagree with ya on CNN.

Okay CNN this is not news. Who cares about the Palin and Johnson mess. Get a life CNN and report worthy news and not garbage. Sorry you are losing your ratings.

Why???? These Palin family members and crew are disgusting! I thought People magazine went places they shouldn't have gone with the photo of the daughter in her graduation cap and gown holding her baby...tacky!!!!

Good for him, it's nice to see somebody profiting from Sarah Palin besides Sarah Palin.

One word: PATHETIC.

Ew. Ew ew ew ew ew. Ew ew. Just....ew.

The Grandparents said "Get a job or you will see my lawyer!"

Hey if Sarah Palin can produce a "Coloring Book", then Levi should be able to pose for Playgirl!!! Levi gets bashed a LOT, but the reality is....he LEARNED everything from Sarah Palin herself. He had front seats to Sarah's devious and back-stabbing ways. So WHY NOT market himself after learning from Caribou Barbie herself? I say Bravo Levi!!

Sarah Palin doesn't have the exclusive on "Going Rogue" as she claims. What's good for the gander is VERY good for the goose.

Levi has EVERY RIGHT to get out there and make as much money as Sarah Palin does. There's more than one way to skin a cat and LEVI is learning FAST. Good for him. ALL is fair in love and war when it comes to the Palin Payton Place circus.

Can you imagine the party of "family values" reaction if this had been the Democratic vice presidential nominee's family? I can not tell you how elated I am that this family isn't our 2nd family. Republicans=Hyporcrisy !!

CNN are you really putting this non news issue in the ticker!!!???

I'll try this but guess it probably won't fly......

Why not do some real journalism and investigate and report on Kevin Jenning's the Safe School Czar...you know....theissue involving Jennings' praise of Harry Hay, an Outspoken Supporter of the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA).....Do you want this Good vetting whitehouse

Remember...Pesident Obama said in his campaign we should judge him by the people he associates with??? MMMM MMMM MMMM !!!!

Mom will be so proud.

Why is Levi getting praise for being a deadbeat dad?

Now there's a stimulus package we could all live with!

What a jerk!

Oh Dear me the shame for the Palin family. Well Loony Sarah started this so Levi can only help but carry it on. With the exception of Levy I can only hope for nothing but hardship and badness for the entire Palin Family.

Nothing Bristol hasn't seen.

You go boy, It's all getting paided

stupid is as stupid does....ugh..

yuck! who cares, this should be under entertainment...not the political ticker CNN. I'm starting to wonder why CNN keeps posting this tabloid worthy crap in this type of forum?

This is disgusting, and a wonderful legacy to leave with your son!! He needs to quit riding the coat tails of the Palins and get a life!

Talk about desperation for money....

Why is this news? There are so many important issues out there and you choose to give this trailer trash space? Give me a break.

And the hits just keep on coming.

Without education, what can you expect from such a misguided young man?

Wow, there goes the "credibility" of CNN's and the other mass medias reliable source inside the Palins. Idiots.

For all his complaints about the Palin family he sure is reaping the benefits of the spotlight he got from dating Bristol.

Why can't Levi make money too? Exposure is exposure....clothes on or off.

What next, adult films?

How does CNN.com come up with this stuff???

CNN.com must have a full time staff in Alaska to monitor EVERYTHING that goes on with the Palins. Can't they just pack up and go monitor someone else – like say ACORN for example.

CNN – THE SPIN STARTS HERE!

What an idiot.

This is the type of person whom Plain found acceptable to father her teenage daughter's illigitimate child and then parade around on the national stage. More great judgment by the darling of the republican party.

What a sleaze. Look, I don't like Palin at all, but this kid beats the band. He will do anything for the money.

Why is he working out. He is as ugly as a pig. No helep in exercise. How's much growrh hormones are you feeding into him to make him matchup Playgirl. Or will it be someone else filling in there for him. PROBABLY SO. WOMEN DON'T BE FOOLED IT AINT REAL.

You gotta be kidding me. Is this supposed to be news anyone in their right mind would really care about with everything else going on in our great country.

H E L L O, is anyone home. is this an actual news story?

Show us what you've got, big guy!

Then it will be Todd, Bristol and eventually Sarah will join in posing.
Then, finally, the Republicans will get want they really want to see and we all can move on with real legitimate people to govern this country.
Follow the money, honey pie.

An old joke referred to Sarah Palin as a "post turtle." You know: when you see a turtle on top of a post, you know it didn't get there by itself, and that it won't stay there long.

I don't personally think that applies to Palin, who did work herself up as high as governor. But it definitely applies to this kid, who obviously could not keep his manhood in his pocket, and whose only claim to fame is that he knocked up the Republican vice presidential candidate's daughter.

Of course, he didn't realize he was doing that. He was just thinking with the wrong end of his spine when it happened. He was, is, and always will be, an irresponsible jerk looking for another piece of meat.

Isn't he VP-nominee Palin's son-in-law?What kind of family does she have where her daughter gets pregnant out of wedlock and her son-in-law becomes a model for Playgirl?

Today is a sad day for America.....First Mother-in-Law struts her stuff in a pageant bikini and then incites a 'Country First' race riot...and now son-in-law drops trough for Playgirl.

It's time to close the book on Palin Inc.

Palin/OctoMom 2012

He's trying to milk his celebrity for every penny he can - just like Palin.

Does anyone really want to see him? He's scum.

Puke! Who would want to look at that loser? Pay him to keep his clothes on.

Can't wait (yawn)..next Sarah in Hustler.

At what point will the media stop giving this unemployed, high school drop-out, unwed father all this attention? Is knocking up a teenage girl what qualifies a person for fame these days? Levi, stay home, get a job and support your child!

It's amazing what people will do for money!!
But if the world has to endure a Sarah Palin memoir (yuukkk!), then I guess anything can go....even a naked Levi!!!!

How is this political news?

Nothing more entertaining than a dumb naked boy....well for a while anyways. Until you cant stand to hear him talk anymore.

Is this really news that we care about? It must be a slow day in the media.

Where are his parents? What kind of life is this young man getting into? This is all due to Governor Palin and her "screw whomever" policy. Had she realized (when she accepted the offer to be a running mate for John McCain) that her family came first, this young man would not have been thrown into the spotlight. What a shame. Facebook that "quitter" Palin!

Why is this on the political ticker?

why is this on the political ticker? Shouldn't it be under 'stupid things done by inconsequential people?'

Why do people still care about this nobody. Seriously, he is a nobody and people need to stop wasting their time with him.

Makes perfect sense for Playgirl to feature this "loser", he's such a ding-dong and a useful idiot for the left.

Why not? Better than working.

What a dad. They should all be so proud.

and the sick Palin saga continues ..this is a soap opera that needs to come to a close.. if this youg man wants to pose for a rage magazine and the magazine wants him to then jump on it . and make enough maney to go far away from the carpet bagging palin heard.

Between the lame pistachio commercial and now this, he is really proving he is one classy individual!! A better choice, perhaps, would be to become educated and stop making a fool of himself.

the boy's gotta pay child support some kind of way!

God Bless President Obama, VP Biden, the First Families and "Bo"

So now Palin's dumb and this guy is a genius and will be hailed by CNN, meanwhile CNN.com will continue to pound Sarah Palin for any reason they can think of.

Notice a commonality against the two biggest critics of the Palin family... (Letterman and Johnston) They're both perverted.

It's obvious the Palins knew what this guy was about before we did. Perhaps the Palin's aren't as dumb as viewers say they are. They seem to be holding their heads up while their critics have to hide behind the media's cover.

Levi. you learned your lessons well from Saint Sarah of the Silly on how to make your 15 minutes expand and then jump at any opportunity to make a buck!

Hopefully Palin will follow him by stripping for Playboy.

Maybe he'll pose wrapped in an American flag and with a shotgun just like Sarah Palin did in her awesome calender last year.

So Levi will be posing nude in Playgirl, huh. Well, now I know which magazine Rush and Beck will be renewing their subscriptions for.

America loves Levi Johnston. We can't get enough of him! He is a fascinating character and outstanding Republican role model for the nation's youth. You have to admit it takes courage to do the things he is doing. Sarah Palin could not be prouder of her former almost-son-in-law.

Weird family!!!

This stupid kid will do ANYTHING to continue his 15 minutes of fame. Get an education, then get a real job!

And to think that there people out there who wanted this circus of a family, along with their corrupted morals, hatred, and ignorance, to serve as our country's VP.

The Republican Party is a joke. Pure and simple.

Could someone please explain to me why we as a nation are glamorizing not only teen pregnancy but unprotected premartial sex? How is it that Johnston is becoming a "hero" in all of this, not that it isn't/wasn't Bristol's fault as well, when there really isn't all that much to admire in this kid?

Thank goodness for continuing Palin related news. Otherwise, CNN might just have to report on Obama's "reset" of his Afghan strategy that he "thoroughly thought through" in March 2009 (which resulted in McCrystal's strategy); or Barny Frank's ethic violations being hidden by Pelosi; or the staged photo op with the phoney doctors at the White House; or the US supporting a Hugo Chavez puppet in Honduras; or Obama afraid to upset the Chinese by meeting with the Dali Lama; or Obama selling out the Poles and Czech's to please Putin; or Obama's education Czar that basically ok'ed pedophiles; or ACRON; or......

Yep, thank goodness for Palin related news.....

the multimedia will sensationalize anything, CNN please stop mentioning anything attached to Palin and focus on Michigan & California as well as other parts of the country in devastation.

I have to say, this sort of thing doesn't do any favors for the reputation of the Republican Party.

Maybe he will save a copy so his kid can someday take it to show and tell.

are you serious? Is there anything that people won't do for a dollar..... sorry Sarah you tried to help the boy, some you just can't.... LOL

Levi honey, you don't need to spend all of that extra time at the gym. You are hot enough just the way you are... you would be even hotter though if you were a DEMOCRAT! Then baby!!!

Sorry, this kid is pure white, straight from the trailer, TRASH.

When is Bristol's Hustler spread coming out?

He showed his character and his rear end about his child and the childs mother .He might just as well keep doing it and proving the fact he was a horse's rear end from the start which seemed to escape the mothers judgment at a critical moment.

How is this political news? Shouldn't this be in the celebrity/sleeze journalism section of CNN? You know, the sensationalist aspect of CNN is really getting to be absurd. I'm thinking of getting my news elsewhere...

What a contrast with the Obama family.

Who cares!?

Yuck! And nude pics of an unemployed teen father isn't political news.

Curry on buddy!

are you serious?

What trashy people they are–his family and the Palins who associated with his family. They are all trash.

This will be like throwing red meat to all the liberals on this site, but it has absolutely nothing to do with politics. Why does CNN want to be an enabler to people like this?

Should we be surprised? Perhaps the reason Levi & Sarah don't get along, is because they're too much alike. BOTH will do anything for attention, even if it's negative!

and this is politically important or even newsworthy because....

Is this CNN or US Magazine?

A DORK looking for his 15 minutes of fame.

Looking forward to that!!!!!

wow now we'll all get to see how big his......uh EGO is! Why is this on Political Ticker anyway?

And just when you thought this couldn't get any trashier....

Levi is the only honest one in the Palin clan. At least he doesn't pretend to be anything than what he is. She's a total fraud.

Go for it, Levi. Make Bristol, Sarah and Todd proud!

(now if we can just get Bristol and Sarah to follow suit!)

Why do you guys continue to give this kid press? Haven't we heard enough about the ex-boyfriend of the daugher of a failed political candidate? Can you not find any other news in the entire world to worry about?

What a good father, I wonder how his son will feel when he grows up and finds out his father posed nude. For Levi, this whole thing has been about money. Keep him out of the news, he is scum..

Another hard-hitting political story here on the ticker! Thanks CNN, now I feel like an informed member of the populace and am ready to contribute to the betterment of society.

WHO IS NEXT......Boehner, McConnell, or how about Rush?????

OMG, I got the National Enquirer rather than the CNN Political Ticker, or is this just another CNN excuse for Palin bashing by the left wing nuts. Sick, very sick.

Ha ha ha. I heard about this and I thought I'll check the Ticker and SURE ENOUGH it is on here!!!! Ha ha ha!

Look, this is a poor kid from the middle of nowhere who has people throwing money at him. He hasn't had any sort of raising or upbringing to speak of.... I know I wouldn't let him around my daughter but that is what happened so life goes on.

Let it go!

Why not? I heard that he wants to make money as a model.
I'm sure there will be comments from liberals wanting to make fun of Palin through this guy's magazine spread.
I wonder how many of those comments will be from entitlement-fed bums who do nothing at all to earn money.

So what? The kid has a kid to support.

We all love to see beautiful or famous people naked. We are a nation of voyeurs. Our advertising is filled with naked or nearly naked women draped over new cars, using cell phones, eating burgers, and advertising cool looking shoes. Our TV news twinkies and weather babes are selected – in part – for their trim figures, their willingness to wear incredibly short skirts on camera, and to twist themselves into bizarre postures so we can't look up those short skirts.

But, all of you tongue-cluckers out there will inevitably express your puritan outrage and moral indignation. There is no emotion more satisfying to the human being than moral indignation.

If anybody wants to pay me fifty bucks they can see me with no clothes on – and that price is negotiable depending on my credit card balances. Out of respect for truth in advertising, I took a look in the mirror this morning and your fifty bucks would be better spent on a couple of good books.

What's next in the "duelin' banjos" saga ~ Sara Palin in the Playboy cougar edition?
That would seal her nomination with the old white guy party and Faux news.

That has about as much appeal for me as Palin's ghost written 'memoir.' Can these people please take their money and just go away?

REALY LOL

THATS the Hillibily PALIN family for you LOL

Why is this news? Please stop reporting on him or any Palin because they have no relevance to the country other than to those that like to look at disasters!

God Bless him, if he can get the work. But CNN, this falls under the category of way too much information, or maybe news you can't use. Something like that.

well I guess now the world will get to see why Bristol picked him anyway, huh? I guess when it comes to money there is no shame anymore.

Well at least it can't be said that the young man hasn't been trying to find his own cut for making money and that's good for his baby son.

A magazine that just gets to the bare-facts.
