Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is firing back at her grandson's teenaged father, Levi Johnston, for comments he made on TV about the circumstances surrounding his son's conception.
On an episode of "The Tyra Banks Show" to air Monday, Johnston, 18, claims that Gov. Palin did not think that he and her daughter Bristol were being abstinent when they were together.
"Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show," Palin's rep tells People.com. "We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship."

You have hit the nail on the head. Instead of looking at this as a boxing match with points scored, we need to keep focused that this is real life. It is not about points, it is about honor.
Why have we forgotten that the most important qualification for a candidate is integrity? One light of integrity shines above a liars accusations.
Exactly. Remember that article from a week or so ago that said that the Rats were going on a full court press to attack Sarah - they were going to give her the Limbaugh treatment.
Now I realize Sarah Palin is human and has made mistakes, but so has every other human being on earth including her critics who are nothing more than fussy little cowards who deserve to be treated with nothing but utter contempt.
I also thought the engagement might be a political set-piece, a useful expedient. The disengagement only strengthens that suspicion. Such is politics.
“It was an embarrassment all around. Neither of them should have been on the stage.”
Was the embarrassment that they were on the stage or that she was pregnant?
If it was an embarrassment, who was embarrassed?
Given the circumstances, where should they have been?
Years ago, Rush Limbaugh did a lot to attract new folks to the conservative movement. Now, I think he’s turning a lot of people off. Too many people are just way more moderate these days, and I don’t see attracting them with his style.
Yep.Now the girl can go on with her life,finish her schooling and be a successful,strong.beautiful woman in her own right...just like her mom has done. The media had their part in this breakup as well as Levi did.Bristol was as untrusting and wary of them as her mother,and,as it turns out,she had every reason to be.
Not just an ex-boyfriend, but the father of her grandchild. And it was a personal attack on her integrity, to imply that Sarah knew about the sexual relations and did nothing, in total opposition to her stated beliefs and morals.
Look the press would have continued to run with this. Sarah had to put something on record to counter it. I'm sure she would have preferred not to, but the choice wasn't up to her. Johnston made it by playing the media and 15 minutes of fame game.
Good for Palin. What a disgusting pig Johnston is.

Heh. :)
Second, there have just been too many flare-ups, problems with people she has worked with, in-law problems. Every week it is another distraction. She really needs a "handler" or she will never be anything above Governor in her career.
Palin: “Thanks for the warning. By the way, do you know what they say the difference is between a hockey mom and a Pit Bull?”
McCain aide: “No, Governor.”
Palin: “A hockey mom wears lipstick.”
Gotta disagree - Rush & Sarah are living by the rule many of us were taught as kids: If they start a fight with you, you better finish it or they’ll walk all over you.
This was the number 1 thing that drove me nuts about President Bush - FIGHT BACK! He left us all hanging to defend him against the tidal wave of lies (no WMD, torture, etc.).
I only pray more of us would stand against the torrent of libtard crap like Rush & Sarah.
I like Mitt and Sarah. There are absolutely NO people on earth to make some freepers happy.
Mitt raised a great family who apparently have no problems, no out of wedlock babies, no apparent drugs. Geez, Mitt may be the only politician who is 100% faithful to his wife, never smoked anything, no drugs, no alcohol,etc. If that were the qualification to be a politican he would be prez now.
I like the Palins. Todd is way hot. Piper is totally adorable. Sarah seems to really live by principles. If she is meant to be prez she will be,even though the left is trying to preempt her.
Surely Tyra and her “people” appealed to his youthful ego.
But apparently he didn’t talk to anyone else in the Palin family.
He’s officially a tool.
I see the truth about Sarah Palin is something YOU identify with. I will say it again and again and again.
Immature, blind people like yourself can name call and deny truth as much as you wish. A third party is needed to get away from the Populist RHINO’s like Palin. Sarah needs to get beyond, do as I say and not as I do. If she can’t even raise a normal family, (Mrs. family values) I sure don’t want her running my country. She needs to CLEAN UP HER HOMELIFE MESS and GET OUT OF POLITICS.
Sarah needs to SHUT UP.
The more she responds the more the left will pursue it.
If she has NO REACTION and IGNORES it, the LEFT will see their efforts don’t get a rise out of her.
Oh, Sarah! When will you learn?

nmh to Sarah Barracuda
Let the GOP have Palin.
With Palin family values ... she fits right in with the other RHINOs. She tells YOU how to raise your kids and look at her kids - Bristol - another unwed mother still in high school - Way to go Mom!
Good job. You’ve once again magnificently managed to embarrass the site with your unique and imbecilic wont for drama and hyperbole.
Palin is responsible for thrusting her daughter into the spotlight, though. I wouldn't have done it, but ymmv.
EXACTLY. These hyprocrits have yet to get over their candidate not being nominated AKA mitt-witts. These are the same fools that gave us Obama and will probably get him reelected; since they care more for their slick RINO and wanting to be perceived as making the correct choice than their country.
