Ambrose Aban:
Queers, meet your new Prince William: Gorgeous, sexy, polite-looking 18yr ice hockey player from Alaska, Levi Johnston (below), watched his future mom-in-law with pride and joy, held Bristol's (his future wife) hand tightly during the speech. Is Levi Johnston -- the 18-year-old dubbed 'hunk' by too many media outlets to count -- exactly the unintended marketing tool that this oft-forgotten sport needed to boost its highlights from the final moments of Sports Center to -- dare I say -- the middle of the show. Will he help ice hockey to prosper again?
George Tyler:
In Chicago, the Blackhawks have been perennial butts of winter-sport jokes. Add a savvy exec, a Jan. 1 game at venerable Wrigley Field, a Kane here and a Toews there and more Johnston than the pan can handle and poof! The country's fourth-most-popular professional sports league is suddenly the country's fourth-most-popular professional sports league with a fancy suit.
Jefferey Johnson:
So enticing has this one amateur hockey player become to the media that it's gone and tracked down his mother, a self-proclaimed "country gal," who wants no part of the spotlight. So attractive is this story that media outlets have taken to quoting the infamous unnamed 'relative' with this provocative nugget: "He's a good guy."
George Tyler:
We can't imagine what's next for young Levi Johnston along this rocky road he faces. But one thing is for sure: The most famous high school hockey player of all time is good -- no, great -- for a sport that's getting better at being perceived as getting much better.
Ambrose Aban:
Bristol Palin wore a diamond ring on her left ring finger, Levi wore something on his - "Bristol" tattooed on his left ring finger. It is permanent. It is real. It is love.
Jefferey Johnson: I hate to be in their shoes, especially Bristol. The saddest part of all of this is that, to complete the perfection of "agenda politics" while spitting in the face of logic and/or good sense, Bristol and Levi will have the obligatory shotgun wedding.
George Tyler:
Ok ok ok, he cummed inside her without condoms. And now she is pregnant. And suddenly they are in the spotlight.
Ambrose Aban:
It will be tough for teenagers. Levi represents ice hockey (a sport that is lacking lustre these days) we hope Track Palin, a GI represents the LGBT community and the Hip Hop Republicans.
Jefferey Johnson:
Track Palin has Hollywood written all over him. He is just too good looking for Iraq and war. And he is a gentleman. I hope he represents us.
George Tyler:
I do, too. He seems like a good guy. A good son.
Shotgun wedding. Followed by the obligatory baby-having. Because it's not even about choice! This poor teenagers have a dozen image consultants and members of the religious right "coaching" them through these troubling times by now, instructing them on the righteous path and how to behave in public and infront of millions. Tough life ahead for these two very young parents.
We hope politics don't kill them inside. They don't have a choice. And it is very sad.
