A lot of occasions when I see Sarah's picture, and it's particularly true here, I am reminded of that old tv catchphrase 'zany sitcom'.

I hope he's not dating her, Mark don't be stupid, you see what happen to the last person she was dating. When you date her your whole life fall apart.

Please stop! During the show Palin was asked who her favorite dance was mid-way thru the 'competition' and there were crickets and a blank stare. Kind of took me back to Couric's newspaper gotcha question. Seems to be nothing going on beyond the winks and memorized tea-talking. On another note has Piper graduated school early or something?

Mama Grifter is teaching Piper the ins and outs of becoming a celebrity. No need for brain power.

Let's see, Bristol Palin, Tom Delay, and Tucker Carlson? I can't tell if ABC DWTS producers are in the tank for Republicans, or they put them on the show so that we can laugh at them.

I am all for Bristol Palin having her chance to shine, but why does SP have to use EVERY
opportunity to push her mug into the camera? What an opportunist and a user.

Doesn't want the girls to turn out like her?? Well, a Mom can be proud of your kids but the constant photo ops are enuf to make me vomit but I do harken back to her draggin the baby Trig all over with her while she was running with Mccain...she could have just stayed in the background while Bristol performed..yes, I know,can't miss the ole "15 minutes of Fame"...you betcha!!! Doesn't appear to be spending Quality time with the others,huh? "Best Mom in America" teehee!

You missed a photo - Ballas Stripping in (Anchorage) airport photos... with Bristol standing right there. Not to mention there were other 'real' people in the airport: http://www.bestweekever.tv/2010-09-24/dwts-mark-ballas-strips-at-the-airport-dumb-or-normal

Ugh ! Ok I am no fan of Palin-but she is usually photogenic. But in this photo she looks like she is trying for the Jan brewer/Sharron Angle look??

We need to ask Mark Ballas if a mama grizzly really does s**t in the woods....

I use to watch the show...NOT this go round. It's called dancing with the "stars"...since when does being a daughter make you a star? A star of what????

Sarah said that Bristol is "very independent" - yep, until she does something mama grizzly doesn't like and this is the crew who said Levi was a "famewhore"? give me a break

So $arah is now using makeup tips from the tammi faye baker school of cosmetics, Does she use a putty knife to apply it. Look at that first photo, is that a fake smile or what? I just love to dish on this family, they are sooooo deserving of my contempt.

Ms Bendy-straws did NOT get paid for this (I think since it's "all" about Bristol)

My wife and I really like watch DWTS but we are passing this evening. We cannot stand to even look at Palin, even if she's there to support her daughter.

Wow. You seem like a really nice person.

Why are liberals filled with so much raw hate?

[PaleMail]

Raw hate? Not caring to look at someone that reminds them of lying and hypocrisy does not translate into "raw hate". Calm down.
