People VOLUNTEER and line up to be on American Idol.
They INVITE “celebrities” to be on DWTS.
It is common knowledge many are poor dancers such as octogenarian Buzz Aldrin, or that Sports Center guy who has now made a career on the show because he was their worst dancer ever.
There is no comparison, furthermore Bristol is improving as adancer and got “9’s” on one dance from all three professional judges.
In a test on Math and Science, American school kids did almost the absolute worst; yet when asked to rank how they thought they did - they all seemed to think they did a much better job than they actually did. Americans: #49 out of 50 in actual results, but #1 in self esteem. Ouch! Palin hit the nail on the head with this one...
“But in the wilder world, these kinds of instances of hard-truth-telling are increasingly rare. Instead of eventually confronting the limits of their inflated egos when it comes to paying the rent and putting food on the table, Americans are increasingly being told not to worry about it. Someone else will provide for them. I think a large part of the appeal of American Idol is the spectacle of Simon Cowell pouring cold water over the heads of these young people. Cowell can be a little harsh at times, but he upholds the highest standards, and something in us recognizes and responds to that.”
Very good read.
American Idol is going into the gutter this year, you can probably bank it.
Honestly I’d like to see Sarah go away for a while. By the time 2012 comes around people will be so sick of her they’ll be looking for someone else. She’ll end up being like Obama where people just tune her out because they’re sick of hearing about her.
and jsut remember that it is and has been Mitt Romney’s staff that has continually attacked Sarah Palin from the start. I would no more vote for that idiot than I would Ted kennedy. Just my thoughts
This is funny.... If that’s the best they got then the PDS leftists must be on suicide watch....
They’re not fit to shine Sarah Palin’s boots.
Wow, Sarah nails it.
I’ve said for years this ‘self esteem’ business is preventing the youths of today learning how to deal with adversity.
They can’t take criticism . If they are ‘disrespected’ they go get a gun and shoot you.
