Is that a rock on Bristol's finger?
Oopsies, you set off the gay alarm.
1) Bristol is the daughter of a famous person 2)She is an attractive female, and not a drunken fool 3)She is young 4)She is trying to make a living, not get rich'
I do believe that DWTS contacted Bristol, not the other way around. So, unlike “Billy Beer” Carter, this 20 year old was not seeking fame or fortune. In fact, her “golddigging” (in your world view) involved her working as a receptionist in a dermatologist’s office (rather anonymously, if I recall correctly).
Absolutely no comparison between the adult brother of a sitting president using the latter’s fame and name to advance redneck, get rich quick schemes. Gimme a break!!!
Bristol was working as an Office Manager in Anchorage. Yes, even though her Parent's have plenty of money, she was working at one of those jobs us regular folks do.
She did not go after the DWTS gig. They called her.
Would you have liked her to say no to making more money doing DWTS than she could make in ten years working at her office manager job? Would you turn down that kind of money for 12 weeks work?
Don't lie to the rest of the Posters here when you answer those questions. It isn't very FR like.
I’m just about 100% sure that is not a real diamond, or engagement ring.
It is just way too huge.
I guess it’s what is called a “cocktail ring”. A really huge, flashy, ring. Worn just for decoration.
I thought Bristol came off great on the show. (We only watched the finale and the second half of the penultimate show.) Based on the very little that I saw I would have put her in second place and Kenny third. I also will note that it is hard to see Jennifer Grey as a real non-dancer since she had a lead role in one of the most famous dance movies of all time. I realize she is not a professional dancer, but still.
Even though Bristol didn’t win, to have made it to the finals is an amazing accomplishment.
I also think DWTS deserves to be commended, they seem to maintain a very supportive environment for all their participants. They also seem to strive for some TRUE diversity in their contestants. I also liked how they had not just Sarah Palin, but Joel Grey and Jamie Lee Curtis in the audience as parents at the finale and they never even mentioned it. It was just very cool. New York cool I would say.
Maybe folks like this show so much because of the show’s kindly, down to earth attitude, but with ballroom glitz! I mean, that’s pretty American, isn’t it?
Underage sex, teen pregnancy, unwed mother to a baby daddy who appears in sex magazines and whose mother is a meth dealer. Conservatives, except those blinded by a cult of personality, condemn such things.
Yeah, well tell that to my wife (my girl wife LOL)
I do fault Palin for the direction her children are taking. She has chosen career over family and that is always a bad decision. She is cheering her daughter's lewdness on DWTS.
But you do have to credit the Palins because some moral decisions are being made. Bristol didn't get an abortion. She appears to be trying to go in the right direction, however ham-handedly. There is wisdom in her not being married as opposed to being married into the immoral family of the lout who knocked her up. Though I must confess I don't follow that soap closely enough to know if she shacked up with him.
Conservatives, except those blinded by a cult of personality, condemn such things.
It is an exercise in choosing the lesser of evils. Right now the media is exposing every last speck of dirt they can find on Palin and her family. There is not a person alive who doesn't have plenty to be exposed, and it appears the Palins have far less than most. If Obama had even a tiny fraction of the scrutiny Palin has we never would have heard of him.
I am more concerned with what the press is hiding than what they have chosen to reveal. In fact, I am rather confident that if you knew everything you would find that the press only tries to destroy the best people.
Well said.
Billy Beer level? That’s being kind.
Besides, he probably can't even do the Texas two-step without staggering.....
Do you dislike all who are not Christian? Are you an antisemite?
I hope Mark gave it to her! ;)
He would certainly be a step up from the previous jerk.
my wife is not all that religious. theres your answer.
Do you know a thing about human nature ?
You can meet some nice baby boomers (many are devout christians now) here on Free Republic who really lived it up in the 60s. People grow up, people change.
Bristol has heard the truth. She is much better off than so many, trust me. shes blessed.
That’s hilarious! Thanks for making me laugh! :-)
“Underage sex, teen pregnancy, unwed mother to a baby daddy who appears in sex magazines and whose mother is a meth dealer. Conservatives, except those blinded by a cult of personality, condemn such things.”
Of course those things are condemned, but the person is not condemned. Bristol herself condemns those things and does not glorify them - in fact, she’s done exactly the opposite.
As far as Levi and his mother - are you saying Bristol is responsible for their behavior? Because if you are, you’re no conservative, but you’re certainly blinded by something.
