Is anyone watching Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars?

[Saturday]

It occurred to me that her appearance on that show kind of sums up Republicans and how they win. She is not a good dancer and should have been gone weeks ago. In fact, a couple better dancers have been eliminated but she still gets voted back every week. Republicans don't have to be good to win, they just have to have other R's walk in lock step and vote for them.

1. Never watch those types of shows

and with BP on Fuck NO! ;) DWTS and anything that has 'reality' in the title suck, imo.

[Divine Discontent]

39. I rather enjoyed Cyndi defending GLBT folk on Apprentice, but, how Bristol is a "STAR" is what I

find humorous!

[HopeHoops]

2. FUCK NO! I wouldn't watch shit like that to begin with but would shoot the TV with that asswipe on.

:puke:

[HipChick]

3. She gets low marks...the Palinbots vote her back..Hollywood is asking if she's pregnant

[Bitwit1234]

23. I don't like those kind os shows either but I switch

back and forth to see if this is the time she makes a bigger fool of herself. The let better dancers go, correct. And they way things go with republicans she is liable to win. The times I catch her she looks like a torso walking around on wooden popsicle sticks. How she can keep winning. Even her partner can't make her look good.

4. I've seen a few segments because I like Jennifer Grey...

(and I also like the fact the very talented Brandy is getting all the RW racists goat)...

Bristol is being kept on by the lock-step RWer Palinbots, but also because she is good for ratings, I suppose. She really has so little personality coming through I sort of feel sorry for her. But, she has an engaging partner whose skills obviously cover for her lack of dancing ability. I will be livid if Bristol eliminates any of the really talented contestants, though.

[Raschel]

24. She is an oaf and like her mother, only has to do a half-assed job to get by.

[madmax]

5. That's why Republicans vote with their asses

instead of their brains.

'Republicans don't have to be good to win, they just have to have other R's walk in lock step and vote for them.'

If BP is something to hang their vote on - we're into more serious shit than we thought. :crazy:

[arbusto_baboso]

6. Is anyone chewing on tinfoil? Is anyone poking forks in their eyes?

Is anyone shaving their butt with a cheese grater and then sitting in a big bowl of lemon juice?

Jeez, why would anyone watch Britol Palin willingly, much less that horrid Dancing with the Stars?

[GSLevel9]

27. BEST-QUOTE-EVER lmao!!!!!!!!! nt

[Missy Vixen]

32. I watch DWTS

I enjoy watching the professional dancers. I wish I had that kind of talent.

Considering the fact that DWTS was the highest-rated show on TV twice last month, it seems there's many more people that agree with my choice of entertainment than with yours.

[arbusto_baboso]

34. Yes, and many more people voted for Republicans last tuesday, too.

Is there a point anywhere that you're circling? If so, you might wanna bring it on in for a landing.

Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's not total crap. In fact, popularity usually MEANS it's crap.

[Missy Vixen]

37. Well, excuuuuuuuuuse me

Truthfully, I really don't care what you may or may not think about my choice of TV entertainment on a Monday night. The point I am trying to make is that I (and millions of others, thanks) aren't breathlessly waiting for your bleeding-edge commentary of What's Worth Watching on TV.

>In fact, popularity usually MEANS it's crap.<

You might want to give the producers and actors of the following TV programs a call and let them know their critically-acclaimed, popular TV shows are "crap" as well.

Modern Family
Castle
Mad Men
True Blood

for instance.

I'm sure they'll be happy to hear from you!

[arbusto_baboso]

40. 2 of the other 4 shows you mentioned..

are also crap.

Face it: crap sells. But it doesn't mean it's not crap.

If you want to buy into the consumer culture, fine. Just don't try to convince me there's much merit in it, because we both know it's a cultural and intellectual wasteland with very few exceptions.

[Missy Vixen]

41. I can't wait to hear what you enjoy on a Monday night

Then again, I don't really care.

It's been my experience that those who look down their noses at the "cultural and intellectual wasteland" around them have little or nothing of import to say, and even less to offer the rest of us, otherwise known as the great unwashed.

I'll enjoy myself with the little people. Typically, they're a lot more fun than the smug, supercilious, bleeding-edge hipsters people like my sister-in-law like to spend time with...

:eyes:

[arbusto_baboso]

42. Sure you don't care. That's why you keep replying to me.

You can wait until hell freezes over, I'm still not going to endorse your entertainment choices.

And I'm the furthest thing there is from a hipster.

But what evs, just stunt your mind a little more with pabulum.

[AngryOldDem]

43. To each his own.

I enjoy the show. It's a nice break from the daily bullshit of getting angry and depressed at crap I can do nothing about.

I'm a member of the Great Unwashed. So sue me.

[BlueCaliDem]

7. A win is a win. We Progressives believe quality over quantity, but

Repubes don't care how they get there just as long as they win, and in the end, that is what really matters.

It's something we Democrats need to learn to accept, and to make it our own. Then we'd be invincible since we have the numbers.

[City Lights]

8. Nope, but your assessment sounds spot on to me.

:nuke: I despise Rethuglicans with every fiber of my being. :nuke:

[Stevenmarc]

9. Well it would be a bonus if we find out she got knocked up by The Situation

[otohara]

10. ABC Using Her for Ratings

next up, she'll be a "political analyst" on ABC.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

13. Nope, she'll end up on FoxNews like mommy did

but be on Fox&Friends

[Raschel]

25. Unfortunately that is no stretch.

[thereismore]

11. Those who vote for her made a supposedly dance competition into a political show.

She gets saved by voters who have no concept of justice. Just politics. And yes I hope she gets knocked up, I don't care by whom.

[montanto]

12. nope

[Hepburn]

14. Yes...

...and she should have been gone weeks ago.

I am/was a dancer and a damn good one. She sucks. I cannot believe that Rick Fox went and Bristol remained.

GMAB...!!!

[Fuzz]

15. Not for a minute

[RZM]

16. Never seen DWTS

And I don't plan on watching it anytime soon. I don't get the attention to Bristol Palin either. I guess I sort of understand it (in an eye-rolling way) when coming from Sarah fans. But why would anybody else care about her?

[asdjrocky]

17. No.

[tularetom]

18. The kind of people who are dumb enough to support Palin

are precisely the same demographic that calls in and votes on crap shows like DWTS. So it should not surprise anyone that she is still alive. Furthermore, I would not be surprised in the least if the votes of these dumbasses are enough to propel her to a win.

[DeschutesRiver]

19. If that kid can't even take time to freaking vote, I won't take the time to turn on that channel.

Couldn't believe it - lucky sperm donor and egg product that she is, she probably knows that with the Grifter as her egg layer, she has no voting concerns. I'm not even gonna watch Momma Gristly's reality show. Don't like any of them, hate to be enabling them, you know?

I wouldn't even piss on a Palin if they were on fire, and that's a fact.

[Urban Prairie]

20. More BP=higher ratings+advertising=$$$ to the network.

She would obviously not be competing on DWT$ if it were not for being very attractive (but not truly stunning or gorgeous) and she still would have needed her mother's political "celebrity" status to become a contestant.

That said, I am honest enough to state that if I could earn $$$ simply by sponging off of or discover some means to directly or indirectly benefit from one of my family member's sudden rise to national fame (or becoming infamous) it would be very difficult for me to avoid doing so.

If Bristol had been frumpy/homely looking and/or visibly overweight/obese, she would have had absolutely zero chance of obtaining even a rehearsal tryout for that "reality" show, IMO.

21. The only thing keeping that klutz on the show are right wing dolts.

Republicans haven't cared about having talented, intelligent or visionary candidates since Reagan was elected. Republicans don't care if their candidates are ignorant and have no clue about the issues. They worship their almighty 'R' and nothing else.

During the past 30 years look at how far down the quality of republican candidates has fallen. We were up against ignorant, stupid and even insane candidates like Sharron Angle, Christine ODonnell, Michelle Bachmann, Ken Buck, Joe Miller and countless other extremists. Their supporters get 100% of their information from Faux and right wing radio. Their brains have been divorced from reality for years and their dumbing down keeps getting worse. Most believe being a deranged religious fanatic is a positive attribute for a republican candidate. They value unqualified and extremist candidates and reject intelligent, informed and educated ones. In other words, they want people as stupid as they are as leaders in Washington. It's obvious right wingers couldn't care less about our country's future if they want to entrust it in the hands of the most unqualified people they can find.

Bristol Palin is just another example of their race to the bottom. Right wingers will keep voting for her regardless of her obvious lack of talent and the absence of any effort to actually trying to exceed at dancing.

Our country is in serious trouble if we have millions of people who value stupidity, ignorance and mental laziness.

[Raschel]

26. They vote for these people because they don't want any minorities in power.

[AnArmyVeteran]

22. Duplicate - Delete

[Contrary1]

28. I expect her to move to L.A. once the show is over, and try to get some acting gigs

She's already appearing in a music video.

Wouldn't blame her. I would try to put as many miles as possible between myself and the crazy mother too, if I was Bristol.

[treestar]

29. No.

But your comparison is apt. Notoriety alone holds them up. They do outrageous things and the M$M cannot resist.

[Ron Green]

30. The fact the "Dancing With the Stars" is a big show

is the reason we don't have good government in the first place.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

31. I would rather insert needles in my cock. Whether Princess Dumbass' From the North Woods daughter

is there or not. I can't do it. I can't watch any of that shit.

[AndrewP]

35. LOL! Yeah, me too. That stuff sounds horrible, even without Abstinence Palin, much less with her

[struggle4progress]

33. Her Mommy ran for VP on the Moose Chili platform, so she must be a good dancer

[Jennicut]

36. Honestly, I have no problem with her on DWTS. She is a bad dancer but maybe if

she moves to scary liberal Hollywood and gets away from her mother she has a chance to be a normal person. Can you imagine growing up with Sarah Palin as your mother? :scared: She is 19 or 20. She has time to be converted into semi-normalcy.

[Divine Discontent]

38. If I did like dancing shows, I'd take the opportunity of her dancing to go take a dump.

[cynatnite]

44. You'd have to tie me down and tape my eyes open to get me to watch this garbage. n/t

[Dappleganger]

45. Nope.

B O R I N G

Jesus, didn't they have someone dressed up like a bear the other day? That's why I won't watch.

[Rebubula]

46. As far as I can tell...

...this spawn of Palin has never done anything wrong other than be associated with a nitwit.

The hate spewed on this kid is amazing and pretty much unwarranted. But, if it makes people feel better to punish someone for the sins of the parents - who am I to say they are just being petty assholes?

I have watched this show from time to time (old roommate watches it religiously - hates seeing Bristol on there) and can say that it has some funny and touching moments. But, for the most part I have enough 'reality' in my life - I need distractions.
