Levi Johnston: I vant my son

Check out my abs … and my kid

Former Palin family insider Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin’s grandson Tripp, claims the former Alaskan governor is trying to keep his son from him.

And, Johnston says, Palin is also working her influence on daughter Bristol, Tripp’s mom.

“She has a big impact on what Bristol does and thinks,” Johnston told Entertainment Tonight. “Bristol looks up to Sarah. I don’t know why they just don’t want me in his life.”

Wow. That blank robotic stare is really not for show.

Yo, Levi, how about disclosing the inner workings of the Palin family, for starters?

But this 19-year-old will plow ahead and continue to pursue legal action to secure joint custody of Tripp. He’s doing so because he has said the Palin family is making it more difficult for him to see the 10-month-old.

“She ain’t nothing,” said Johnson, who has become a red carpet-walking fiend and quite the grammarian since he hit the media circuit to promote himself. “Just because she ran for vice president and was the governor of Alaska, doesn’t intimidate me. Sarah has no legal thing on Tripp, she’s just the grandmother.”

With a gazillion dollars now and that means high-quality attorneys where you’re concerned, bub.

Palin’s lawyer, Thomas Van Flein, told The Guardian last month: “Other than noting that Tripp’s father is always welcome to visit his son, we are unable to respond to these allegations as it is inappropriate to discuss child custody matters publicly.”

Dude is already earning his keep.
