Mayor Levi Johnston

.

News you need to know.

Levi confirms he is running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska and he’s ready to talk about his plans. On his intention to run for his hometown’s highest office, he says “It’s for real. I’m going to go there and do what I can. Obviously that’s where I grew up and that’s my home. It’s always going to be home to me. [My son] Tripp’s going to grow up there and I want to change a few things.”

[...] I do care and I do want to make a difference. Whether I win or not, I want Tripp to look up to me and see what I’ve done and be proud of his Dad.”

Cool.  And what does the current mayor of Wasilla, Verne Rupright (good name), have to say about Levi’s mission to “change a few things”?

“Well, it is a little early to declare.  Usually most wait until the year the seat is up. But since I am nearly old enough to be Levi’s grandfather I think it would be wise for him to get a high school diploma and keep his clothes on. The voters like that!”

I think Levi has a bright political future ahead of him with or without a diploma and pants.  If Bush and Palin have proven anything, it’s that ownership of a fully functioning brain is not a prerequisite to reaching high office.

Go for it Levi because in the world of satirical political blogging, there can never be too many fools to mock.
