So, the fact that Bristol Palin is not the most talented dancer on Dancing With the Stars (not that I would know because I don’t watch the show), but now her continued success is a Tea Party conspiracy?
Google “Bristol Palin” and “Dancing with the Stars” and you’ll get these headlines.
Brandy edged out by Bristol for ‘Dancing With the Stars’ finale
Chicago Sun Times
A flawless tango was no match for the gumption of a show-biz novice as “Dancing With the Stars” viewers decided Tuesday that Bristol Palin belongs in the finals.
‘Dancing With the Stars’ producer defends Bristol Palin: ‘I’m very confident that the votes that are getting through are valid.’
Entertainment Weekly
Conrad Green, executive producer of ABC’s Dancing With the Stars, is “mystified” by this week’s Bristol Palin vs. Brandy brouhaha. Green called EW to address rumors of a so-called Tea Party conspiracy designed to help Bristol Palin advance into Monday’s season 11 finals.
Conservatives respond: Bristol Palin is not dancing with the tea party
Los Angeles Times
In between hearty laughs, Dawn Wildman, co-coordinator of the California Tea Party Patriots, dismissed the idea of an organized coalition to get the dancing competition’s mirror ball trophy in Palin’s young hands.
And don’t miss this from the emminently non-biased MSNBC.
How the ‘Dancing’ vote was hacked
Having Palin tear up the dance floor on national TV is considered a boost for the conservative Tea Party movement. To keep the votes coming in, the party is using social media effectively to rally the base behind the young Palin mom.
This is all rather amusing really. It’s not like a no talent, unqualified individual has ever been voted for by the left just because of popularity.
Assuming of course that you rule out the 2008 election.
This from MSNBC is priceless:
The pro-Palin groundswell is reportedly leading ABC to consider changing its voting system to give more weight to the judges’ assessment — and less weight to the voice of the people.
It’s just like the health care vote.
And these people think the birthers are nuts?
