Levi Johnston retracts apology: 'I've never lied about anything'
Edited on Thu Aug-26-10 08:00 PM by Newsjock
Source: Associated Press

Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palin's grandson, says he wishes he hadn't apologized for telling lies about the former Alaska governor because he's "never lied about anything."

Johnston said in an interview on CBS' "The Early Show" to air Friday that he wishes that he hadn't issued the apology to Palin.

"I don't really regret anything," Johnston said, who has appeared nude on the cover of Playgirl. "But the only thing I wish I wouldn't have done is put out that apology 'cause it kind of makes me sound like a liar. And I've never lied about anything. So that's probably the only thing. The rest of the stuff I can live with."

... Johnston said he hopes he could be a better mayor of Wasilla than Palin. "I can't guarantee or promise you anything but I'm gonna try... That's the goal," he said.

15. There is a saying among single, heterosexual women in Alaska
concerning the ratio of men to women in the population:
"The odds are good, but the goods are odd."

12. The first step towards being a politician is convincing yourself that you....
don't lie.

Nice job.

22. She was on Dancing With the Stars?
How did I miss that? Not that I watch the show, but it must have been posted here. I can't imagine not reading something. Then again, I can't stand celebrity/gossipy/reality show "news" and have never heard of most of the participants anyway.

25. Too late....Between Sarah and Levi I don't know who the bigger grifter is
Edited on Fri Aug-27-10 08:12 AM by MattyGroves
If Levi actually had any real dirt on Sarah vs. just innuendo and hear-say he would have found someone willing to pay his price a long time ago.

Simply, he had nothing so the media attention stopped. So, he figures out the gold-mine is through reconciling with his baby's family and releases an apology for telling lies about the Palin's.

Now that he's on the outside of the Palin pay-off again he recants his apology and starts pimping out his run for mayor as a reality show.

That some people on DU actually thought that Levi was going to bring down Palin shows that FR doesn't have a monopoly on deluded thinking among it's members/posters.

26. The bigger grifter is, by definition, the more successful grifter.
We all know who that is.

I wish Levi well in his attempts to catch up.

29. He's desperately trying to cling to his dwindling 15 minutes of fame.
This is just getting sad.
