Celebrity | Jesse Gryphen 'Palin Hater' Pushing Mercede to Blog This is all Jesse Griffin's fault, Palin camp says By Evann Gastaldo Posted Jun 17, 2010 9:04 AM CDT Copied Sherry Johnston, right, talks to her attorney Rex Butler, left, and her daughter, Mercede Johnston, center, in a Palmer, Alaska court Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2009. (AP Photo/Al Grillo) The Palins can’t be happy about Mercede Johnston’s Palin-bashing blog…and now a source from their camp is insisting it’s all part of an anti-Palin conspiracy. “Mercede was put up by Jesse Griffin to do this blog. He is a Palin hater,” a source tells Radar. Griffin, who sometimes goes by “Gryphen,” is the creator of The Immoral Minority, the blog that famously posted the Palin divorce rumors. Plus, says the source, Mercede’s claim that Bristol and Levi were actively trying to conceive Tripp is obviously not true, because “Levi has always said that Bristol's pregnancy was an accident.” Read These Next President asks nation's top generals to loosen up.
