I'm Not White Trash, Says Noted White Trash Interview Subject

Levi Johnston declares that his family is not white trash.

I understand his desire to protect them. I have trouble understanding, however, why a supposed non-white-trash family would do white-trash type things, like going on a white-trash show to attack a young girl now raising a baby as a single mother thanks to the white-trash move of the man in question abandoning her.

On "The Tyra Banks Show" earlier this week, Johnston said Sarah Palin almost certainly knew the two teens were having sex before Bristol got pregnant, and he admitted the obvious -- that they didn't always practice safe sex.

Let me just note the bias here -- yes, in most cases, an accidental pregnancy is due to unprotected sex. But it's not quite "obvious" that's the case. CBSNews apparently doesn't believe the disclaimers on all forms of contraception noting that they are, in fact, only somewhere between 95 and 99% effective, depending on type. Condoms break, diaphragms slip, and the pill occasionally doesn't work.
