[a fool in paradise]

This liberal’s head never exploded when pranksters deliberately sought to keep bad singers in American Idols’ later rounds.

Waaaah. LOL.

It’s the power of the American voter, baby! Suck it up, Bristol’s a favorite on a “POPULARITY CONTEST” dance show—kind of like how “Survivor” isn’t really about SURVIVAL, but about “popularity” of a personality! :-)

Go, Bristol the Pistol!! All the way to the WIN!!! :-)

[DJ MacWoW]

that's about as believable as seeing Russia from her mother's house.

Well now we know that facts and intelligence are not Debra Yeo's strong suit.

And DWTS has ALWAYS been a popularity contest.

[Paved Paradise]

Bristol is not a very good dancer.

[a fool in paradise]

Jezebel quoted one site, FreeRepublic.com, that urged its members to "make liberal heads explode" by voting for Bristol, "even though she is not the best dancer."

A look at the past 20 years' Grammy winners for "best spoken word" album read like a who's who of liberalism. AS IF they had all recorded THE BEST spoken word albums. Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton...

Remember when comedians and poets used to win such an award?

[a fool in paradise]

Bristol is not a very good dancer.

Barack Obama is not a very good president.

Which harms more Americans?

[Grunthor]

Don’t the homo’s do the same with American idol everytime there is a queer they like on that show? Does anybody complain?

[Cringing Negativism Network]

LOL.

Get ready liberals.

2012 is right around the corner.

Bad journalist: Sarah Palin never said she could see Russia from her house, it was Tina Fey.

[Franklin Wright]

I must admit I wasnt too wild about this whole Bristol on Dancing With The Stars thing but now my opinion is doing a 180

[ClearCase_guy]

1) The voting algorithm aims at making this (in part) a popularity contest and (in part) a talent contest. Deal with it.
2) It's a ratings bonanza. The show is loving this outcome.

[pillut48]

...and Obama is not a very good president.

It’s all about the popularity. LOL.

[blondee123]

OH too bad, it's a dancing competition, not a vote for a National Election!!!

Let's talk instead about VOTER FRAUD in Nevada this past election!!!!

Oops, that would shut them up, now wouldn't it????

[pillut48]

GMTA! I posted before I read your comment, :-)

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Awwwww. Just another butthurt liberal whining.

[libertarian27]

DWTS is a pure Voting Democracy in action, apparently the “real” fans who are upset would rather have DWTS as a Republic with checks and balances and all that ‘nonsense’.

Teaching moment?

[ConservativeChris]

“”Jezebel quoted one site, FreeRepublic.com, that urged its members to “make liberal heads explode” by voting for Bristol, “even though she is not the best dancer.” “

Well, my liberal head is kind of exploding right now because Bristol made the finals on DWTS at the expense of a far superior dancer, Brandy.”

WAY TO GO FREEPERS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Now how do we make EVERY OTHER LIBERALS head explode?

[econjack]

Damn! I meant to watch DWTS, but I had to rearrange my sock drawer.

[Mobties]

Sore losers all sound the same. Whine whine whine
