The Real America haters at lamestream media network MSNBC are demanding that something be done with teen-aged Alaskan baby pooper Bristol Palin so that they don’t have to watch her club footing her way trough their favorite teevee show, Spazzin’ With The D-List, anymore.
Consider the filler-fest the hallmark of week five — too few dancers to fill two hours, too much ad revenue to shrink the running time.
Eventually, all of the “she just needs more confidence” and “he doesn’t know what to do with his hands” gave way to actual live dances — some good, some bad and all better than a bunch of blah blah blah. Heck, after that, even Bristol Palin’s presence in the ballroom was appreciated. Not due to talent or improved form — perish the thought — but simply for the welcome distraction.
And oh, what a distraction the teen mom made. As if Palin’s typical flubbed footwork wasn’t enough to catch the eye, pro partner Mark Ballas came up with the zany idea to dress up in matching ape suits while they jived to “The Monkees” theme song. Allegedly. Doing the twist while aped-out isn’t usually called the jive, but whatever.
Like all Palins, the bar for entry was set embarrassingly low (but not low to a Palin!) with Bristol only having to fog a mirror in week one, get out of a chair in week two, nod her head to the rhythm in week three, snap her fingers (both hands – simultaneously! very hard!) in week four, and then this week her dance partner made her dress up like a monkey because that is how the gays get revenge on people they hate…. outside of cutting your hair an inch shorter than you wanted them to even after you showed them that People magazine cover of Justin Bieber and, fine, whatever, I’ll just wear a hat till it grows out.
Anyway, the scooter-bound who watch amateur talents shows, because Two and A Half Men is too demanding, want Bristol dead or maybe just on The Real Futureless Teen Meth-Moms of Wasilla.

Eh. I dunno. Slightly embarrassed, clumsy, big-legged daughter of Dragon Lady doing her bit for the family firm…
I can imagine her situation. I hear Job 1 for Bristol in LA-LA Land was getting a condo with her very own set of keys. DWTS is just good cover.
PS. I’m late to this party, but I actually think there is something to the phony pregnancy meme. I knew Palin looked awfully svelt for her condition, but the following link appears to show Palin with a pillow stuffed under her blouse.

Yeah, yeah, ha ha ha. Bristol Palin jokes are like the old Chelsea Clinton or Amy Carter jokes, way out of line in reasonable public discourse.
Now you’ve done it, Tbogg. I count on reasonable public discourse when I come here, but nooooooo, you had to go and make fun of Bristol “Bonobo” Palin.
Personally, every time I read about Bristol Palin, I shit my pants.
I hope you’re happy.
What tha hell do you socialist hatas have against young Amurican entreprenuers? Take one look at that makeup slathered on with a trowel an any fool knows she putin her ass on the market. Mama Grizzley taught her well. An shes producin White Babies, tha most valuble commodity there is, bless her heart.
Not even close!!! Both of those girls were children when they were in the White House. Bristol is legally an adult and she made a choice to go on that ridiculous show. That makes her fair game. And like purvida pointed out, this is not exactly the best venue if you are looking for “reasonable discourse”.
Yeah, because making fun of an adult (at least chronologically) who has already appeared in public as prop to her mother’s political career and who is obviously demanding our attention by appearing on a network television show is EXACTLY the same as making fun of 13-year-old schoolgirls who have never done anything for public consumption.
I believe that would be your dictionary-definition version of “false equivalence”. I just hope you weren’t too far from your fainting couch when you read this.
Sorry for repeating you, Mrs. T. In my defense, your comment wasn’t yet up when I was writing mine.
Then again, I guess it does prove that great minds think alike. ;-)
Dude, if he were making fun of one of the younger kids, Machinegun, Doorstop, Adriatic, or Claymore, then it would be an issue. Only kinda, because Neither the Clintons nor the Carters hid behind their children like human shields.
Love the title on that picture!
Maybe Chistine the Imbecile Witch is right. Monkeys DID stop evolving. My entire world view is in disarray.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
You’re surfing the wrong fuckin’ site and I’ll prove it.
Apparently that sack-o-taters Palin slings around as a prop is retarded and I think that goes a long way towards proving it’s her kid.
Can she not pray away teh gay?
Heh. This is what I come to TBogg for – the best snark around — plus, of course, the bootifull puppehs.
Upon closer examination, I realize that I shit myself every time tomallen spews a comment. Although it’s really so sadly ironic that bristol-tard is like an unfabricated teevee personality JUST like the Carter or Clinton kid that it’s eerie.
To be fair, I think Bonobos are a little more discriminating in their choice of mates.
It seems completely reasonable to me.
By the way, the three judges each gave her a score of six leaving her with a perfect score of 666.
The decline of our once-great nation is complete.
This great photographic timeline of Sarah’s “pregnancy” with Trig includes the “Wild Ride” from Texas to Alaska. Watch the two videos and I guarandamntee that you will be gobsmacked:
http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/07/two-videos-about-babygate-sarah-palins.html
Oh, don’t forget to see Sarah’s latest version, she forgot she “had” Trig at 8 mo gestation, now she says 7.5 months and forgets where she “had” him:
http://palingates.blogspot.com/2010/10/sarah-palin-in-montgomery-alabama-says.html
BTW, the “birther” conspiracy about President Obama’s place of birth was started by a right-wing nutjob Philip Berg in mid-August 2008, shortly before Palin was flown to John McCain’s ranch. One “crazy birther conspiracy story” would certainly make a similar “conspiracy story about a birth” look suspicious and crazy, now wouldn’t it?? The Republicans are very good at jumping ahead of a story in order to discredit it.
Dude, are you not aware that Bristol Palin has started her own PR company and don’t you have a fricking clue about the 1st Law of PR dynamics that any publicity is good publicity?
Stop interfering with Bristol’s success in her business endeavors, you moran!!! She has a mouth to feed.
Consider that stolen. Thanks!!
It may be brutal, but it’s necessary. If this isn’t nipped in the bud, we could see Liz Cheney sprawling and oozing around out there.
You know, maybe “Survivor” could strand them all (Bristol, $arah, Todd, Levi, The McCain and Cheney clans, George and Jeb, Clarence and Ginny Thomas, etc.) on the island and then vote to keep them there forever.
T, you apparently were focused on the wrong part of the show. From the WP:
Latin music star Shakira comes out with a bunch of girls in exercise gear and leads the 6 p.m. salsa-cize class to her tune, “Loca.”
Let’s see… Bristol Palin in a gorilla suit or Shakira’s Ass…Hmmm
Pure gold, soonergrunt. I love your names for the younger Palins!
Those vids were interesting. But now I’m REALLY lost. (I almost/kinda/read: *DID* forget there are “2″ infant Palins….yes, I’m a Cro-Magnon.) Trig and Trip are supposedly separated by months of age. Supposedly. So is Trig really Tripp? Head hurting, ah! beer. To be continued. Thx 4 nuthin!
:-)
Back to the quotidian stuff. Late newz here, too. But instructive.
At Wonkette (2nd page) I read-between-the-lines that Sarah might have a grudge going with Younger Self v.2…i.e. Sarah made sure to mention to the press that Bristol was only DWTS’s 2nd choice. (Youch!)
Her Highness will have the press know that Snow Machine Operator 3rd Class, Todd of The Home, was asked first. Sarah enjoys this anecdote.
Run Bristol run!
Sarah made sure to mention to the press that Bristol was only DWTS’s 2nd choice.
I bet Todd tells Bristol all the time that she’s not as pretty as her mom. And I bet Sarah says something like, “Oh, Todd, spare my blushes” rather than “Stop inflicting emotional abuse on your daughter, you bastard.”
“Yeah, yeah, ha ha ha. Bristol Palin jokes are like the old Chelsea Clinton or Amy Carter jokes, way out of line in reasonable public discourse.”
Why? Amy Carter and Chelsea Clinton didn’t keep throwing themselves out there. The Palins do. When they fall flat on their faces and we laugh, I, for one, feel guiltless.
Sarah Palin is Peggy Hill, worst mom ever.
And also, too, the Chelsea jokes I remember were all based on appearance, over which she has no control, while the Bristol jokes are based on her behavior. One is fair game, the other is just jerky.
