ANCHORAGE, Alaska Levi Johnston, the father of Sarah Palins grandson, says he wishes he hadnt apologized for telling lies about the former Alaska governor because hes "never lied about anything."
Johnston said in an interview on CBS "The Early Show" to air Friday that he wishes that he hadnt issued the apology to Palin.
"I dont really regret anything," Johnston said, who has appeared nude on the cover of Playgirl. "But the only thing I wish I wouldnt have done is put out that apology cause it kind of makes me sound like a liar. And Ive never lied about anything. So thats probably the only thing. The rest of the stuff I can live with."
CBS said the interview was taped Thursday in Los Angeles.
Johnston is the two-time fiance of Palins eldest daughter, Bristol, and the father of Bristols son Tripp. Bristol Palins teen pregnancy thrusted the couple into the national spotlight during Sarah Palins run as the GOPs vice presidential candidate in 2008.
Johnston has expressed an interest in politics, filing papers last week to run for office in his hometown of Wasilla, Alaska, next year.
While he has not officially declared which political office he aspires to, his manager, Tank Jones, has said Johnston is interested in a run for mayor or city council. Earlier this month, Jones confirmed the 20-year-old Johnston planned to run for office as part of a reality TV show.
Wasilla is where Palin got her political start, first as a council member and then as mayor.
Johnston said he hopes he could be a better mayor of Wasilla than Palin. "I cant guarantee or promise you anything but Im gonna try... Thats the goal," he said.
