Tea party politicizing Dancing With the Stars? – Washington Times

Gag me….

Bristol Palin is one of the four finalists on “Dancing With the Stars,” the No. 1 rated show in the country, a fact that has bedeviled some fans and critics.

The 20-year-old daughter of the former governor of Alaska has consistently earned low scores from the show’s on-camera judges, but those scores are combined, a la “American Idol,” with the contestant’s call-in vote, where Miss Palin is a juggernaut.

The show’s producers think tea party voters who back Sarah Palin have turned “Dancing With the Stars” into a referendum on the power of grass roots political muscle.

    So the producers think it’s been politicized? What were they thinking when they cast Bristol PALIN, whose only claim to fame is her mother????

    I’m sure it’s only the “Young Republicans for Palin” who have kept her on the show–she should have been the first to go. Note that I believe it’s the YOUNG Republicans–I think mature people, even those of Republican persuasion, would gag at voting for Bristol!
