Appearing in his first television spot for Wonderful pistachios, Levi Johnston walks out in front of a hooting off-screen crowd only after his ever-present bodyguard Tank Jones surveys the area and pronounces it clear. Levi then cracks open and eats a pistachio as the voiceover, nodding to the reason the world knows Johnston's name, says, "Now Levi Johnston does it with protection."
Joan Wickham, the communications director for the ad campaign said that the larger message wasn't part of the ad when they picked Johnston. "We aren't making any type of pregnancy comment. We just tried to pick quirky celebs doing funny things. We wanted something to catch attention," she said.

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Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
