Getting an election-year bump

One assumes he has scrubbed the tattoo of Bristol's name from his finger:

Wait, Levi Johnston? You mean, the guy who didn’t become the son-in-law of the woman who didn’t become vice president — that Levi Johnston? Yes, indeed, still managing to make news despite ourselves.

Four years after his teenage-babydaddy debut at the Republican convention, two years after his final bitter breakup with Bristol Palin, and a year after publishing a weakly-received memoir about the experience, Levi seems to have moved on, or something, by exchanging vows with Oglesby, mother of his month-old daughter Breeze Beretta . 

So, that’s the end of his Palin drama? Not really. Johnston confided to “Inside Edition” that he was bummed Bristol wouldn’t let their son Tripp, now 4, attend the wedding (“I wanted him to be my ring bearer”) — though he also acknowledged he didn’t exactly tell her he was getting married, just asked if he could have him for the weekend. Oh, and he divulged that he’s leaning towards voting for Obama. 

 

In addition to occasionally getting paid for granting TV shows access to his personal life, Johnston is working as an electrician, we’re told. And for all his experience in the spotlight, he was a nervous groom, reports Jim Moret of “Inside Edition,” sweating through the ceremony like Albert Brooks in “Broadcast News” and fumbling the vows. 

 

Asked the officiant, “Do you take Sunny to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse?”

Responded Johnston: “To have and to hold, whatever you say.”

The wedding will be featured on the TV show Wednesday.
