Levi Johnston is firing back at Bristol Palin – crib notes not required!

In response to Bristol’s demand for $1,750 a month in child support, Levi says in legal papers that his income is “erratic.” In other words, dude has no real job.

Bristol Palin claims that Levi raked in more than $105,000 in 2009. His attorney, Rex Butler says that prior to ’09, Levi never made more than $10,000 a year.

Which doesn’t say how much he made in ’09, of course. Details …

In legal documents filed this week, Johnston agrees to pay 20 percent of his adjusted 2009 income – how much he made is still unclear – to Bristol for Tripp.

Levi Johnston also says that in 2010, his only contractual guarantee for income so far is $25,000 plus “some contingencies based on my Playgirl shoot.”

As such, he can’t pay $1,750 a month. Deadbeat. Not a deadbeat dad, mind you. That implies you’re holding back money. Guy is simply a broke deadbeat.

His explanation: “As a 19-year-old with good hopeful [sic] for an entertainment career the chance of increased income is as unknowable as it would be for any young person working his way into the entertainment industry: not particularly good.”

What about that Desperate Housewives gig, dog? Don’t sell yourself short. Also, isn’t there more dirt on Sarah Palin? There are interviews waiting to be had.
