Someone needs to burn the master of Michael Douglas' really, really, godawfully shitty remake and do it right:
Levi Johnston's mother hit with drug charges
Arrested: her son was in the spotlight as father of bristol palin's baby.
WASILLA -- A 42-year-old Wasilla woman
was arrested Thursday at her home by Alaska State Troopers with a
search warrant in an undercover drug investigation. Sherry L. Johnston
was charged with six felony counts of misconduct involving a controlled
substance.
Johnston is the mother of Levi Johnston, the
Wasilla 18-year-old who received international attention in September
when Gov. Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, announced their teenage
daughter was pregnant and he was the father. Bristol Palin, 18, is due
on Saturday, according to a recent interview with the governor's
father, Chuck Heath.
No word on whether MethMom will be at Bristol's bedside to provide pharmaceutical assistance with the birth.
UPDATE: attaturk has the title of the day.
Oh man...this is a joke right?
Alaska's first debutante is having the baby of a kid raised by a meth monster?
Is Alaska trying to knock the 'white trash' crown off of the South?

Hey boomer49, Alaska is where you go when your too white trash or crazy for the south.

Hey, there's white trash everywhere, even up here in Hoserville.
It ain't a regional thang...it's an intelligence thang...

Huh. You have to wonder if Governor Media Whore was aware of the investigation and impending arrest. You would think that someone in the state police department would have tipped her off.
Which means we could be so irresponsible to speculate either of the following:
a) she knew, and said "go for it" in an attempt to make sure Bristol and her mama get to continue to control the-groom-to-be
b) she knew, and will use this as a reason to "postpone" the wedding indefinitely
c) she knew, and thought it would be another good way to whip up some more publicity. After all, being "tough on crime" even when it is in your own extended family shows what a tough-ass you are.
d) all of the above.
Or, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe everything is so legal and on the up-and-up there, no one tipped off the governor that her daughter's sperm donor's mother was going to be hauled in on meth manufacturing and/or distribution charges.

Let's see, meth addict/manufacturer for one, grifter/sociopath for the other. The baby is already 0 for 2 in the grandmother department.

not fair she is being made news because her son fucked a palin.

Be ready for "Bristol's tragic miscarriage" in the coming weeks, methinks...

Her son fucking a Palin was what probably pushed her into a life of crime and drug abuse!
Amused: Maybe Sarah tipped off the police!
Posted by: queek | December 19, 2008 at 05:07 PM
queek: that's what I'm thinking - you gotta wonder if Sarah had some vendetta against Levi's mom, and used her muscle to make this happen. Either she made it happen, or she let it happen - but you know she had to have known about it during the investigation.
Posted by: amused | December 19, 2008 at 05:53 PM
Hmmm ... Maybe Levi's mom came on to Todd?
With these wackos the possibilities are endless!
Posted by: queek | December 19, 2008 at 08:07 PM
All of the same class of people. Maybe Sarah and her went to school together too. Probably are related by cousins or something.

Latest reports say that it was oxycontin and not meth.
If she hires the same lawyer Rush Limbaugh did she won't do any time. Plus she'll probably get a call from Limbaugh since I'm sure he's always on the lookout for a good source of hillbilly heroin.

Meth?!
Man, that's Squaresville. Not that I expected anything else.
You got to have some some HEART when you bring it into ABC's Wonderful World of Drugs!
Don't be slimin' around in that slop of ephedrine!
Fool, that's cold medicine. Too much of that shit, you gonna GET a cold.

Oh man. OXY!
I don't blame her.
I'd empty my bank account for a qt. jar of that.
Except I don't believe it.

Give me Lenox Avenue.

MMMMmmm ...I'd like to have a glass of that Sherry. She's milferiffic. I'm predicting a frenzied bidding war for cellmate privileges at the Pt. McKenzie Correctional Farm. Hey Gubner, you could balance the Alaska state budget with a little surveillance cam in that cell and some streaming vidya on a paysite. Nudge nudge?
