The Palin-Johnston feud in print

Bristol Palin is publishing her memoir of the guy she calls a gnat

The AP, in the persona of Frazier Moore, breaks the news that Bristol Palin is publishing a memoir, including the tale of the loss of her virginity to her boyfriend of the moment (and various moments after that), Levi Johnson.

In case you want the grubby details, it happened on a camping trip after she got drunk (he got her drunk?) on too many wine coolers.

Oops. As they say.  She woke up in her tent with no memory of what had happened.

She had vowed to wait for marriage she says.  Maybe she should have laid off that fizzy wine.  Or maybe she shouldn't have gone on that co-ed camping trip at all.  (Though she was on birth control tablets to control her cramps, she says.)

Otherwise, her memoir, co-written with Nancy French, is the standard one of growing up, her family, and so forth, with the unusual detail of being suddenly involved with Mom's political ambitions.

Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's CrosshairsAnother oops, considering that she was pregnant.

But they made the best of it -- though it would have been easier, if the guy involved had not been such a "gnat."  He, Bristol accuses, "cheated on me about as frequently as he sharpened his hockey skates."

The book is called Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far

Levi Johnston is planning a retaliation in print, to be called, Deer in the Headlights: My Life in Sarah Palin's Crosshairs
