Levi Johnston for Mayor of Wasilla? Apparently. . .

According to Variety, Levi Johnston -- ex-fiance of Bristol Palin -- will run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. Johnston will reportedly use an appearance in a reality show to launch his mayoral campaign:

Levi Johnston is setting his sights on the dysfunctional family business.

Johnston will run for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska -- yes, the same job that propelled Sarah Palin to governor of that state (and later, the vice presidential nomination) -- in a new reality project being pitched by Stone and Co.

"Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor's Office" will center on Johnston's newfound fame as the baby daddy to Palin's grandson, Tripp.

Johnston will trade on that notoriety to make his run for Wasilla City Hall -- when he's not pursuing a career in Hollywood, of course.

So does Johnston have a chance of winning the position? Well, stranger things have happened -- like John McCain picking Sarah Palin as a running mate. So, stay tuned!

Palin: Former Beauty Queen Who Left Job for More Money Calls Ex-Son-In-Law a Ho'

In Sarah Palin news, the former Governor of Alaska had harsh words for Levi Johnston, her ex-son-in-law and the father of her grandchild. Palin criticized CBS News for reporting critical comments that Johnston, slated to appear in Playgirl Magazine, has made about her:

CBS should be ashamed for continually providing a forum to propagate lies. Consider the source of the most recent attention-getting lies -- those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention. . . .

How odd. Sarah Palin is a former beauty queen who left her government job in order to make millions in the private sector and who has become the "Bloggacuda" on Facebook and who is desperately trying to get lucrative speaking gigs across the globe. Yet, she basically called Johnston an "attention whore" and a "ho.'" Nice.
