Late-Breaking, Real News

Last week and out of nowhere, Levi Johnston and his family show up on The Tyra Banks Show to 'set the record straight', as it were, about what's been going on up in Alaska. You remember Levi Johnston, right? The impregnator of Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol?

Levi decided to sit down with the Peabody and Pulitzer award-winning journalist (Oh, whoops, she's really just an underwear model), Tyra Banks for a hard-hitting, no-holds-barred interview where his blistering intellect and media savvy finally had a forum:



Not to be outdone, an actual news organization (I think), CBS News, jumped on this new development and interviewed Levi for The Early Show. Levi bravely told the Early Show audience (estimated at approx. 20 viewers) that, "We're not cashing in on their name, you know. I'm just trying to get my side of the story out there and letting people know who I am."

I couldn't have been happier as I, as well as all of you I'm sure, have been DYING to know about the REAL Levi Johnston. Of course, he's not trying to 'cash in' even though, according to the CBS News article, "perhaps all the publicity he's been getting will lead to a modeling or acting gig, which he'd be open to". Sure would beat working at an oil field !

The most hilarious part of the CBS interview is where he identifies the most common misconception about he and his family. Apparently, the country is ablaze with constant discussion about how the Johnston's are "white trash".

So, the teenaged, unmarried father who also happens to be a high school dropout went on daytime TV to tell everyone “You don’t know me!” Oh, and he was with his mom who's currently dealing with a recent Oxycontin arrest. Yeah, what’s “white trash” about all that?

(The burning smell coming from your computer is your sarcasm card that just melted.)
