Levi: I'm Going To Leak Things On Palin, That's Just How It Is (she called Trig her "retarded baby")
Levi Johnston On CBS' Early Show: I'm Going To Leak Things On Palin, That's Just How It Is (VIDEO)

Levi Johnston appeared on CBS' Early Show Wednesday, where he explained his reasons for spilling unflattering information about the Palin family and said he was keeping some "huge" secrets.

Among other things, Johnston said Palin joked about her son Trig's Down Syndrome, calling him her "retarded baby."

"I was just in shock the first time I heard it," he said, when host Maggie Rodriguez expressed disbelief. He also said Bristol took care of the baby much more than her mother: "Sarah was never home."

Johnston also said that Todd and Sarah would fight in front of their kids.

He said he was going public because the Palins betrayed him and backstabbed him: "I really don't care anymore ... Now it's my turn ... I told a little bit of stuff, and you know, I'm just not going to take it anymore."

"If she's going to go out there and say things to me, about me, I'm going to leak some things on her. I mean that's just how it is," he said. He added, however, that there are some things he won't say that would really hurt Palin. "I'm not gonna go that far," he said.

2. Why not spill the beans then, Levi? Waiting on the highest bidder?
I hold hope that he has some good dirt on the Wasillabillies, but I am not holding my breath. Levi is one stop away from the Springer show and his credibility is nil.....

4. My impression was that he was "firing a warning shot"...
...either to draw out the highest bidder, to intimidate Palin into shutting up, or maybe both.

Who knows, but it seems like he's smart enough to know the clock is winding down on his 15 minutes and he's wringing it dry.

14. He's the equivalent of the madam that kept waving around her client list
threatening some big scandal and when it was released after her suicide (and yes I believe she killed herself vs. going to jail) it turned out to be mostly small fish and a bunch of policy wonks that the public had never heard of.

If I remember correctly even Larry Flynt said there was nobody of real "scandal" value in the list.

8. In a way, it doesn't matter if he has dirt or not - the spectacle of a 'top-tier'
Republican politician engaging in a high school gossip-brawl with the father of her grandchild should help put that party in perspective for a lot of people...

7. you know
If it would nail the proverbial coffin lid shut on her for once and for all, I say give the kid the money. If it keep her from ever running for so much as dog catcher again it would be worth it.

26. I think so too. Let him talk.
I never did have a huge hate-on for the kids, but if Levi can bust Palin's chops in any way, more power to him. She is a disgusting human being.

29. yep
And when it all comes out, I have a feeling the story isn't going to just be about what he's going to leak on her, but what he's already leaked in her.....yes, I think he banged her and if he's got proof it's going to be a delicious train wreck :D

9. So, he's got a LOT more on Palin, maybe he's holding out.
He evaded giving an answer but it sounds like he has dirt on her role as governor, some of it related to illegal and/or immoral behaviors.

21. Levi has been rocking in my book...
And if you watch the interview he said he has more shocking shit on her, illegal stuff she did as Gov., but it probably won't ever come out....

Come on Sarah, piss him off...do something really ignorant. I know you got it in ya! :rofl:

11. Fight! Fight!
You gonna take that, Sarah? Pretty harsh stuff Levi's saying there. Kinda makes you look not so tough, in case Putin rears his head over the top of the world. Also.

16. Uck! I read the post title as "leak on Palin" and you know, with the Playgirl spread
and all--it was just a terrible picture in my mind.

17. Anything that can demoralize the ultra-conservatives who supported her
is fine with me. If Palin doesn't like the exposure, then she shouldn't have thrust herself into the limelight by running and by continuing to appear in public. Maybe that sounds mean, but I still remember the things Palin said about Obama and the Democratic Party at the Republican National Convention and my hatred of her is still vivid.

24. Unless he's got something like a stained blue dress from the Gap, they'll just deny it
If he's going to let stuff out in dribs and drabs he really needs to keep it consistent and tempered. The excitement of the limelight may cause him to "embellish" it in his own memory, and the more outlandish he gets the less he will be believed. Especially with nothing but his own word to back up what he says. If he's going to say Palin came on to him, or one of the younger girls is fooling around, or Palin had an abortion scheduled and cancelled, or that Todd plays for the other team--whatever tales he tells, he would be far better served if he had something concrete to back it up.

before he can spill the beans.

about a wannabe vice president.
