Palin writes grandchild’s father out of memoir

SARAH PALIN’S new memoir describes heart-wrenching anguish about her teen daughter’s pregnancy playing out before a national audience. But the 413-page tome doesn’t contain a single reference to the father of her grandson, soon-to-be Playgirl model Levi Johnston.

In Going Rogue, which will be released on Tuesday, Palin also laments about everyone in her entourage being forced to wear fancy clothes she couldn’t afford – preferring simpler, cheaper garb. But it’s as if Johnston, who was among those hastily called up to appear at the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minnesota, had never left Wasilla.

The tactic does appear to have merit; Johnston, who has sparred repeatedly with his former mother- in-law-to-be, continues to warn that she should leave him alone, or he might dish some serious dirt that “will hurt her”.
