ONLY because it finally (should) satisfy the people who insisted that Trig was actually Bristol's baby, not Sarah's. There is no way that both children could be Bristol's. I agree that there is no other reason for anyone outside the family to be interested.

lol

I think it's only being reported in the news b/c it was big news during the election. If Palin had never been the VP-nominee, this most certainly would not have made the headlines

It may have been noted in an article on baby names, but that's it.

Johnston Quits Slope Job

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.

I knew there were going to be some questions about this...

Hopefully he will finish school !

Because everyone knows that average 18-year-old kids don't obey the law, right?

In all reality, he isn't being treated no differently than any kid who 'gets a hookup' that eventually comes back to haunt him.

I will agree to a point that the media MAY have some play on this BUT...considering whose daughter it is....someone was bound to go poking around about this.

No matter how you cut it and it's been said ad nauseum awhile back, there was only so far he could go with a limited education.

I still don't totally understand all the circumstances of him dropping out in his senior year from the jump to take care of the baby...but hey...nobody knows the ins and outs of his home life so that is ANOTHER issue...BUT as it stands, regardless if he is Levi Jonston or Joe Blow, when he is that close to finishing his HS education, go on and be done with it...plain and simple.


and BTW...who said anything about him breaking any laws?
