You ever see a pro wrestling match where you think things can't get any crazier, and then one of the guys' managers climbs in the ring and whacks someone over the head with a folding chair?

Well, the Sarah Palin-Levi Johnston feud has just taken a similar twist.

In a no-holds-barred interview with US Weekly, Sarah Palin's dad, Chuck Heath, gets in on the action by taking Levi Johnston to task for knocking up his granddaughter, walking out on her, and then tattling to the press.

In the new issue of Us Weekly (on newsstands today) Sarah Palin's father slams Levi Johnston -- the 19-year-old father of Bristol Palin's baby -- for recently badmouthing the Palin family in the press.

Palin's father, Chuck Heath, tells Us Weekly that Johnston "has not contributed anything" to Tripp, who was born last December.

"I don't agree with what he's doing right now," Heath tells Us of Johnston's press tour. "It's not right. He's broke, so he's trying to capitalize on this. I wish he'd take some of this money he's making and buy some diapers with it."

Harsh words from your former-soon-to-be-grandfather-in-law. (Is there a shorter way to say that?) Anyway, this thing just keeps getting better and better.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
