Sarah Palin Says Levi is No Drop-Out

According to the Anchorage Daily News, Sarah Palin has been scrambling to set the record straight about Levi Johnston's educational pursuits. After contacting the ADN, the Associated Press, and People Magazine, she issued a statement:

Palin was in touch with a celebrity magazine, a national news service and the Anchorage Daily News to question reports that her future son-in-law, Levi Johnston, is a dropout.

..."Bristol begins her final semester of high school next week where she'll get her last credit needed to graduate," the statement said. "Levi is continuing his online high school work in addition to working as an electrical apprentice on the North Slope."

The report doesn't say whether or not Palin is aware that Facebook quizzes do not carry any official accreditation.

She went on to comment about the birth of grandson Tripp:

"We are over the moon," she said about her new grandson.

Many political analysts agree that this is probably the first step in an effort to land Palin an appointment with NASA.

"The road ahead for this young couple will not be easy, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy," Palin said. "Bristol and Levi are committed to accomplish what millions of other young parents have accomplished, to provide a loving and secure environment for their child."

Again, Palin seems unaware that teen parents don't automatically get $300,000 for photos of their newborns, nor do they have the option of a six-figure eBay auction of baby presents. Other than that, yeah, they're exactly like millions of other young parents.
