Bristol Palin, Cheaters' choice.

Bristol Palin. What a terrible name. No wonder she's had so much trouble getting to adulthood. Got to feel sorry for that child she has macerating out there somewhere in Alaska-land. Bristol herself is about to win Dancing With the Stars, because, although billed as a dance competition, we have always secretly known it is primarily a popularity contest, pretty much like president of the united states.

Anyway the most fun part of this charade is that lots of rightwing sites have actually written and published online how they gamed the system for voting at DWTS, and cheated like crazy! People have said online that they have deliberately cheated so Bristol can win. That does explain how such a bad dancer could get to the finals.

It also explains everything you need to know about the rightwing in America. They yak endlessly about their principles, but when push comes to shove, they don't actually have any.

And Bristol, if she were actually principled, would not want to win this way and would disavow people cheating on her behald. Cue Bristol: " !" Yes, she has nothing. Nor does her mother, a true example of American womanhood as it has come to be respected by those who belief a wife should be subservient to her husband.

When you get right down to it all this crap is about money and power. The people that love Bristol and her mom are primarily sneaky selfish folks who would do whatever they could to improve their own position in life and society, even and especially, if it costs somebody else (preferably somebody "of color", as they might say; tho SP herself has been quoted using the "n word" as the MSM so coyly puts it anymore). The Tea Partiers are simply out to impose what they want on the rest of us and to keep from having to pay for any of the costs of living in the USA.

So when Bristol becomes Queen of the Hop all of America will look at her, one third with pride and glory, and two thirds with distaste. And another reality show will become that much less interesting. I quit watching after the first season when they stiffed the front runner for the sake of popularity. It was that guy who played the man who ran the company that Julia Louis Dreyfuss worked for on Seinfeld. He was a great dancer but he got screwed. It was clearly not right.

Nobody will be surprised when the cheater takes home the prize. That's America today. Cheaters often win, particularly Republican ones.

Bristol Palin, Cheaters' choice.
