Levi Johnston is NOT a Redneck and he LOVES Bristol, Okay?!

Levi Johnston wants to set the record straight, alright?

Apparently sick and tired with what the media is doing to his image — crafting him into a stupid redneck who accidentally got Sarah Palin’s daughter preggo — Johnston decided to talk to the Associated Press about everything from his love of Bristol to what he really thinks of Barack.

“We both love each other,” Johnston told the AP about Bristol. “We both want to marry each other. And that’s what we are going to do.” When it comes to his new baby (due in December), Johnston seems just as equally “excited.”

“I’m looking forward to having [the baby], I’m going to take him hunting and fishing. He’ll be everywhere with me.”

As for that Myspace page that claimed Johnston was a proud redneck and didn’t want kids? Turns out his friends made it a year ago as a joke and he had nothing to do with it — I mean, so he says.

The author of the AP article writes that Levi is a “soft-spoken” scruffy hottie who’s also an “avid hunter” — he’s got animal skulls littering his Alaskan home. After learning that his gf was pregnant, Levi dropped out of high school and now works in the oil fields as an apprentice technician, doing all he can to make the dolla dolla bills for his new family.

As for being thrust into the spotlight so suddenly? Johnston claims nonchalance. “At first, I was nervous, then I was like, ‘Whatever’.”

Even though everyone is all Levi Johnston you’re so famous now!, the 18-year-old is totes taking his new life in stride. “I’m still the same old boy. I’m just a workin’ man.”

Obviously, Johnston wants Sarah Palin and McCain to win this election (esp if he values his life and future), but unlike a lot of McCain/Palin supporters, he’s not rabidly against Obama. “[Barack] seems like a good guy. I like him.”
