Levi Johnston goes rogue on Sarah Palin

“If I wanted to crush them I could” he says

In an interview on The Insider, former Palin family member Levi Johnston threatened to expose a lot more than the body parts he’ll be showing off in the December Playgirl. Sarah Palin’s almost-son-in-law dished the dirt on the former Alaska governor, claiming that she kept him from seeing the baby he had with Palin’s daughter Bristol. He also stood by the outrageous claims he made on the The Early Show last week, among them that Palin called her baby son Trig, who is afflicted with Down syndrome, “retarded.” Johnston also alleged that Palin resigned because people offered her “big money.” He knows family secrets that are explosive, he said, noting: “If I wanted to crush them I could.” As for reprisals, Johnston talked tough: “I ain’t scared of her,” he said.
