Latest Palin Shocker: Did Sarah Know Teens Bristol and Levi Were Sharing a Bed?
The latest installment of “As Wasilla Turns” will open on Monday, when Tyra Banks’ interview with Levi Johnston, the estranged babydaddy of Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, airs on Tyra’s syndicated talk show.

The bombshell from the show is that Levi claims that Palin, who preaches that abstinence is the only acceptable form of birth control for teenagers, knew that he and Bristol, then 16 years old, were sleeping in the same bed before she got pregnant:
The 18-year-old recently sat down with the talk-show host to discuss his relationship with Palin, who gave birth to their child last December, and claimed that the duo practiced safe sex while together. Their child, he said, must have come from a “wardrobe malfunction.” (Enter collective eye roll.)
No dummy, Banks pressed him further and got Mr. Johnston, who has since broken up with his longtime love, to admit that he and Bristol “sometimes” didn’t practice safe sex. He also admitted that Bristol’s mother, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, probably knew the teens were sexually active, because they slept in the same bed and, besides, “Moms are pretty smart.” Indeed.
There is reason to quibble over the word “smart” in this context.
Levi’s mother Sherry and his sister Mercede also appear on the show:
Levi’s family also revealed to Tyra that they were under a gag order during the whole campaign.
His mom Sherry said: “When you talk to media you say something and they have a twist to make it sound like something totally different.”
Mercede adds: “We were supposed to say that all questions need be brought up to the McCain campaign. Other than that we had to say no comment.”
No word on whether Tyra will ask Sherry Johnston about her arrest in December on charges that she illegally distributed Oxycontin, Rush Limbaugh’s narcotic of choice.
