If Levi Johnston could take back anything, it would be... posing for Playgirl? His on-off, on-off relationship and engagement to Bristol Palin, mother of his son Tripp, 20 months?
Nope. For Johnston, his biggest and only regret is a public apology he made to his famous would-be mother-in-law, Sarah Palin.

"I don't really regret anything," Johnston, 20, says in a CBS Early Show interview broadcast Friday morning. "But the only thing I wish I wouldn't have done is to put out that apology [to Palin and the Palin family]."
"'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."

So why did he apologize to Sarah in the first place? "That was something I did to make my fiancée happy," he said. (Johnston and the former Vice Presidential candidate famously traded insults via the press following his early 2009 breakup with Brisol.)

Johnston -- he and Bristol, 19, called off their second engagement last month -- recently signed on for a reality show and is running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.
Will he be a better leader than Sarah, Alaska's former governor? "Let's hope so," he says during the interview. "I can't guarantee or promise you anything but I'm gonna try… That's the goal."
"If we do win, I'm going to have to give up Hollywood for three years."
Tell Us What You Think
142If he wins the mayor position that will only make Wasilla like the dumbest town on earth...go away Levi.
Whichever network is stupid enuf to buy this pathetic piece of humanity's reality show will lose me FOREVER as a viewer and I hope will go bankrupt. I cannot imagine anyone thinking that Americans are so stupid as to tune in to watch this scumbag do anything. What is happening to us America???
Is this guy for real?????? OF COURSE YOU ARE A LIAR. And your 5 mins of fame are up. Please crawl back under that rock in Alaska where you came from! No one cares about you, your ex girlfriend or your kid! And you should be kissing Sarah's ARSE since without her you'd still be a high school drop out working menial jobs with no future other than the pipeline!
I am quite sure I could not be as gracious as the Palin's if my daughter dragged home such roadkill as this!!! It sure is not easy being a parent these days!
Don't forgit to throw an I.U.D. in Kate Gosselin gift bag. "HOW YOUUUUU DOIN"
August 28, 2010 - 4:06pm CHEW ON THIS KATE HATERS. IRS will love going over Kate's $70K gift items. Jeans won't fit Kate, LA Gym is too far away. Her boys are too little for the baseball bats, Las Vegas casino trip screams hook up with BF and monetary loss, skin, eye and lasik won't help her appearance but the whiskey will big time by taking the edge off.
wow - this guy is truly a male skank. Congrats for being a role model to men everywhere of what NOT to be.
Levi, the little respect I had for you was when you apologized. Focus on being a Dad to your little guy - and try to be someone he can be proud of. At the moment, you are not.
This guy got famous for knocking-up a teenage girl. Who cares what he does or thinks? She is just as bad. Without her love child she would have faded into, as Mike Tyson would say, Bolivia.
Don't worry Levi Hollywood...Sarah is smart enough to know you were lying when you apologized. That's why I'm her biggest fan. She can see right through bull.
Vile Little Pig!!!!
He's needs to get serious about his political aspirations, and stop shaking his vile little dick around.
What do we care about Levi Johbnston? He's an immature, ignorant individual who proves this every time he opens his mouth. Why does he keep turning up in the news? What exactly is he going to "give up" in Hollywood? Does the actually think he has a career there? Running for mayor? He should be concentrating on getting an education and trying to support his son. Bristol isn't much better, she keeps going back to him. Levi needs to GROW UP!!!
Levi Johnson is a liar he does nothing but lie. Levi, please go away we are tired of you and your 15 min. of fame expired 6 months ago!
he is the biggest a--hole.he would of been nothing but he got sarahs daughter pregnant,now he should dig a hole and jump in it(an 8 foot hole,oh no maybe a 10 foot hole for his bigt head.
KNOW WAY SHOULD HE MARRY BRISTOL.YEAH HE SHOULD'VE NEVER Apologiz TO SARAH PALIN SHE A TOTAL BI.TCH!!!!
This guy is an idot ! He should marry Bristol. He got her pregeant and live up to being a Father.
Crawl back under your rock, Levi. Please. You aren't even good for a laugh anymore.
She is rotten to the core.
This "guy" is such an incredible LOSER. He just get goes lower and lower every time he opens that stupid mouth of his. I hope Bristol is wise to his sick and demented ways......she really needs to WISE UP and keep this creep out of her life as much as possible. This "forgiveness" crap...only goes so far.
