(Newser) – Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston broke off their engagement weeks ago, sources tell People. Johnston, who has a 2-month old son with the Alaska governor's daughter, confirmed to the AP that the pair parted ways "a while ago," but says some of the tabloid rumors swirling around the split are untrue.

Bristol Palin—in a statement released through her mother's political action committee—said she was devastated by a report Johnston's sister said that she was making it "nearly impossible" for her ex to see his son, Tripp. "Unfortunately, my family has seen many people say and do many things to 'cash in' on the Palin name," she said. "Sometimes that greed clouds good judgment and the truth."

You are right on, riffran. It's such hypocrisy on the left. And the "best" part is that they defend their pettiness and feel self righteous about condemning this girl and her life and using it for politics.

You can't have it both ways. get off your high horse. You and your ilk's constant banter is getting old and boring.
