bristol still making news Bristol Palin’s ‘DWTS’ run fuels conspiracy theories

Tea Partiers and other grassroots conservatives gaming the vote. OK, so it’s only a TV show, with the ultimate prize a cheesy mirror-ball trophy. I could be objective about Brandy’s elimination from Dancing with the Stars in the semi-finals. And the 20-year-old teen activist, who doesn’t act, sing or dance, is a contestant because she’s the daughter of potential presidential contender Sarah Palin . Well it sure could happen! The audience erupted with applause as well as a chorus of boos at host Tom Bergeron’s announcement, and the judges couldn’t believe the loss of the celebrity they had voted to the top of the leaderboard, or close to it, all season. On November 16th, 2010 in a shocking DWTS elimination, Brandy was sent packing up her dance shoes and stripped of her chance to win the mirror ball trophy. “She’s whipped up passions of people and the cloud of brouhaha just like Sarah Palin,” says DWTS executive producer Conrad Green.

Cowan of Town of Vermont, Wis., was seemingly unable to confine his ballroom rage to the usual online comment or water cooler rant and instead, chose to shoot his television for daring to air the offending footage of Palin at all. This has been an amazing journey.” Before dancing purists short out their keyboards with their tears, remember it’s a popularity contest as much as a dancing competition. No show that claims to be a dancing competition would ever eliminate such a strong performer when there was an obviously inferior dancer available. Yes, that means the man is said to have shot the set before Palin went on to beat out Brandy for a spot in the finals. Bristol has a great sense of humor and we laughed a lot together and learned a lot from DWTS . I have yelled at it, but I’ve never thrown anything at it. “While Bristol has been at the bottom of the leader board, she hasn’t been miles behind the other dancers,” says Green. Steven jumped up and swore, saying something to the effect of, ‘The f—ing politics.’ Steven was upset that a political figure’s daughter was dancing on this particular show when Steven did not think she was a good dancer.” Cowan is hardly alone in that sentiment, but the following actions set him apart from the crowd. “The closer the judges’ scores, the more important the audience votes are. I admit that she has tried hard and done far better than many (myself included) expected. After disappearing upstairs for some time, he returned with a single-shot shotgun and allegedly fired a round into the TV screen. Cowan’s wife told police, “He scared the Bejebees out of me.” No doubt.

Hillbuzz editor Kevin Dujan has been promoting her DWTS run since the season’s debut. He suggests Bristol’s support isn’t political. All the hard work has paid off!” So what do you think? “I think it’s moms, sisters, grandmoms, dads — people who are voting with their hearts, not with a political agenda.” The grassroots support isn’t unprecedented. When it comes to voter support versus dancing, dancing never wins. Others seem quite disturbed that she has made it this far.

How much does dancing not matter? His wife said the 66-year-old had been drinking; he faces disorderly conduct and weapons charges. Palin has already offered to buy the couple a new TV.
