Levi Johnston is about to get totally undressed for a nude spread in Playgirl. Now he's also getting dressed down by his baby mama's mama Sarah Palin.
Yup, their ongoing war of words has been kicked up a notch ... or 10.
On CBS' Early Show today, Levi continued his Palin-bashing PR tour by saying she referred to her infant son Trig, who has Down syndrome, as "retarded."
Moreover, he says she used the term repeatedly, and during the 2008 campaign, used the baby as a prop while in reality Bristol Palin primarily cared for it.
Without providing details, Johnston also ominously suggested that Palin, last year's Republican V.P. nominee, has done a whole lot worse than that, as well.
Cryptically but knowingly, he says he knows things that could "get her in trouble and could hurt her." You really couldn't make this stuff up if you tried.
"I'm not gonna go that far," Levi Johnston said. "You know, I mean, if I really wanted to hurt her, I could easily. But there's ... I'm just not gonna do it."
Suffice it to say, Levi's comments didn't sit well with Sarah.
In a bitter reply, the mother of five said in a statement that: "We have purposefully ignored the mean spirited, malicious, untrue attacks on our family."
Only she hasn't. Just saying.
"We, like many, are appalled at the inflammatory statements being made or implied," Palin's statement continued. "Trig is our 'blessed little angel' who knows it and is lovingly called that every single day of his life."
Palin said "CBS should be ashamed for continually providing a forum to propagate lies" and was indignant at the insinuation of using such a term.
Taking both Levi Johnston and CBS to task, Palin questioned the credibility of somebody about to get naked for a magazine, specifically Playgirl.
"Consider the source of the most recent attention-getting lies," she says.
"Those who would sell their body for money reflect a desperate need for attention and are likely to say and do anything for even more attention."
In response, Levi says his recent interview with Vanity Fair was just the beginning, and while he's sure Sarah Palin "has something comin' for me," he is unabashed about his counterattacks as long as the Palins cut him out of his child's life.
Your move, Levi. Your. Move.

I wish someone would sew his filthy lieing mouth up! If he put as much energy into being a good Dad as he does being a big jerk he'd be ok. I also wish the Obama loving media would stop giving him wasted air time! He's addicted to this kind of attention and what's sad is he thinks it's cool! When it comes to media attention, He's like a Junkie on Crack and the left wing Obama loving media is his Dealer. How Sad!!!

The best thing that Gov.Palin could do is to just ignore Mr.Johnston it doesn'take a lot of education to figure out that he is used by the radical news media for rateings and of course Gov.Palin for his meal ticket.

he may be addicted to the attention but some of the stories he has are frightening. he is a lot of things but i don't see him as a liar, i just don't think he's smart or manipulative enough to. he's telling what he knows because, as jerry said above, the media invites him to. it's disturbing on a number of levels, both what he does and what palin does and says behind the scenes, when the facade is gone

I believe Levi's telling the truth. Sarah just got the kind of almost-son-in-law she deserves --- one who is as good at getting questionable attention as she is. I think her inability to dominate him really puts her panties in a bunch.

LJ is a moron - and probably better exemplifies the description of "intellectually challenged" to be kind. He would be called "white trash" down south and "pond scum" up north. The media that gives him publicity is on the same level. Drop the dirtbag.

I believe Levi. This is what you get Sarah for bringing this kid into the limelight! Sarah always does the opposite of what she says. @Gina Are you saying that Bristol gave Levi warts?

The kid is stupid, yeah...too stupid to LIE.
Palin cut him off from his kid, she is powerful (in the tundra), how do you fight a shrew like that?
Let him milk it, I doubt he is lying, he is just telling what he saw and heard.
Palin is the TRUE DIRTBAG, married to a MANTAN douchbag.
Sarah Palin/Tonya Harding 2012!

...and GINA??? What does the sitting president of the United States, Presient Obama, have to do with LEVI JOHNSTON???
I DO believe Lil Levi might have something to do with that tap dancing vaudeville act called Scarah Palin, or am I mistaken???

That's what Palin gets for preventing Levi from seeing his son. So much for her "family values', hypocrisy blowing up in her face. Good!
