DWTS: A perfect example of Wingnuts promotion of mediocrity
OK, I don't normally watch Dancing With the Stars as it appears to be little more than "potato chips for the brain", but I did happen to see that Bristol Palin made the final 4. Apparently, she made the final 4, despite mediocre scores from the judges, stumbling around in a monkey suit, and clearly being the worst dancer among the final 4.

The Wingnuts are putting the same amount of thought into the votes from Palin as they do at the ballot box. Slap a monkey suit on Sharon Angle (who thankfully lost) and you get the gist of what I'm saying.

"The Wingnuts reward mediocrity".

That used to be a prescription for failure in this country, but I guess things have changed.

2. I would be pissed if I knew I was better than her. She has been at the bottom of scoring the last 7
shows. Tell me it isn't rigged. Bristol honestly thinks she deserves to be there. Right, last 7 shows at the bottom. Watch the black guy will be gone or Brandy will. Here it is in a nutshell. Jennifer (lst), Brandy (2d), Black guy (3rd). That should be the way it plays out. Fair and square.

5. the woman cannot dance
she is stiff and not polished. It is unfortunate the wingnuts are rewarding her. Just goes to show you how the wingers vote.

7. Just a little re branding effort by the corporations
ABC = Disney = ESPN Bristol is a new cleb who has family values



Not to pick on the grifters from Wasilla but here is the list:

Track .... had to move to Michigan and go in the Army to avoid jail

Bristol ..... teen age mom, drinking, and drugs

Willow ... Breaking into homes, destruction of property, drinking, and drugs
