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."

[babylonsister]

5. I'm so sick of this whole family and this clown; they are all

attention whores imo.

[laconicsax]

6. He'd have to try realllly hard to not be a better mayor than Palin. n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Oh, the drama

[pinniped]

12. The first step towards being a politician is convincing yourself that you....

don't lie.

Nice job.

[no_hypocrisy]

17. And lying about lying doesn't necessarily make it the truth.

[spartan61]

16. And will he be on Dancing With the Stars

just like his Baby's Mama?

[Control-Z]

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.

[Mnemosyne]

24. Hasn't happened yet, she's on new season. n/t

[Control-Z]

27. Well that seals it.

She really is a sideshow circus act.

[pinboy3niner]

18. Oh, if only there were an island he could go to...

...not connected with 'Survivor' or any other reality show. And he could take the Palins, Octomom, the Salahis, 'Speidi", Chuck Norris...oh, shit, the list is so long, it better be a BIG island!

[Scurrilous]

19. The check must have finally cleared. n/t

[emilyg]

20. Who cares? SWhut the f** up.

[RainDog]

21. honestly. he and Palin should be in a stupid competition.

I feel sorry for Alaska. what a shame for your state to have these two as the representatives of your state.

[MattyGroves]

25. Too late....Between Sarah and Levi I don't know who the bigger grifter is

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.

[Lance_Boyle]

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.

[earth mom]

28. This ought to piss Palin off but good. I hope Levi wins!

:evilgrin:

[terrya]

29. He's desperately trying to cling to his dwindling 15 minutes of fame.

This is just getting sad.
