'Dancing With The Stars' Wants Todd Palin

[RamboLiberal]

Bristol Palin's long run on 'Dancing With the Stars' was so good for ratings the show's producers are already courting her dad Todd for next season, E! Online reports.

"They want him big time," a source told E! "They'd love Sarah, but they don't think that will ever happen, so why not go for the dad."

The source said that producers think Todd, like Bristol, would be "ratings gold" and they also want Meghan McCain and Elliot Spitzer.

In October, Sarah Palin herself said that 'Dancing' producers had originally approached Todd, not Bristol.

Damn you John McCain for giving these grifters a stage!

1. Just Call it Dancing With The Fascists or The New Nazi Revue and be done with it.

Christ, it just keeps getting more surreal everyday......

[Auggie]

2. When it becomes "Stars Dancing off a Cliff", I'll watch

That's from a great Bizarro toon drawn by Dan Piraro a few weeks ago

3. why not go for kim jong-il ?

[onehandle]

4. Our North Korean ally?

The grifter/quitter loves that guy.

6. you betcha!

5. You know what would be great - both Sarah and Todd Palin competing against each other.

THAT would actually be interesting. Have each of them with a different partner competing against each other.

7. It would be just like their home life

:hide:

8. They should ask Sarah...

I'm betting that's why she was on the set the whole time Bristol was there. She's probably waiting to be asked!

[hughee99]

10. If she was willing to do it, she'd be there instead of Bristol.

I don't think the reason she wasn't on is that they haven't asked. She wants to be associated with the popular show without having to actually compete.

[JuniperLea]

21. I think that's a lot of assumption there...

Really.

[hughee99]

22. Do you really think,

given the choice between the two, DWTS preferred Bristol to Sarah Palin?

[JuniperLea]

23. I don't play assumption games...

Carry on.

[hughee99]

24. But you are playing.

From the OP: "They want him big time," a source told E! "They'd love Sarah, but they don't think that will ever happen, so why not go for the dad."

If this is accurate, if they'd "love Sarah", is it more likely to assume that she's been asked, or that she hasn't?

You're assuming she hasn't been asked, and is just waiting for her invitation.

[JuniperLea]

27. No, no I'm not...

Please point to anything I said that would lead you to that conclusion.

[hughee99]

29. Here you go.

"They should ask Sarah..."

You're assuming that they haven't asked her, but as we don't if they did or not, you're assumption that they didn't is no better that my assumption that the did. Given the statement that they'd "love her", I think it's more likely that she was asked, and declined.

"I'm betting that's why she was on the set the whole time Bristol was there. She's probably waiting to be asked!"

You're "betting", or in other words, "assuming" or "guessing", that's why she was always on the set.
She's "probably" waiting to be asked? So you don't know, you're just assuming she's waiting to be asked.

Your first post is ALL assumptions.

9. What tawdry treacle

:puke:

[sinkingfeeling]

11. Well, I decided that I would never watch DWTS again when they announced Bristol. I really didn't

miss it all that much this season.

[City Lights]

12. I suggest they change their name to Dancing with the Losers.

:puke:

[ejpoeta]

13. well i never watched the show before, and i don't intend to now.

as long as they get ratings for this bs they will keep doing it. i suggest people vote with their remotes. people will get bored of this sooner or later. i hope.

[snooper2]

14. That won't happen, dancing isn't "manly"

Everybody knows Todd is a "man's man" so you think old Sarah Poo would let her "man" on a dancing show?

[Hawkeye-X]

15. Tawwwwwwd! Thrown out the first week

Fuck the Palins.

[AngryOldDem]

16. Why not just merge DWTS and Meet the Press?

And throw in the panel from This Week as judges and be done with it.

[RamboLiberal]

17. Yeah Dances with Rove Gregory should judge nt

[RamboLiberal]

18. Margaret Cho claims Sarah forced Bristol to go on DWTS

"I heard from someone who really should know (really should seriously know the dirt really really) that the only reason Bristol was on the show was because Sarah Palin forced her to do it," Bristol's onetime fellow contesant wrote on her blog yesterday, in an entry titled "Pistol Whipped."

"Sarah supposedly blames Bristol harshly and openly (in the circles that I heard it from) for not winning the election, and so she told Bristol she 'owed' it to her to do DWTS so that 'America would fall in love with her again' and make it possible for Sarah Palin to run in 2012 with America behind her all the way," Cho continued. "Instead of being supposedly 'handicapped' by the presence of her teen mom daughter, now Bristol is going to be an 'asset'—a celebrity beloved for her dancing."

This theory, plus the one about Mama Grizzly's Tea Party supporters stacking the vote in Bristol's favor (until it really counted, anyway), equals yuck all around.

Cho, who was eliminated third, says she's sure ("but who knows anything really") ABC wasn't in on the mother-daughter pressure cooker and that Bristol herself is a "warm and incredibly supportive" person.

19. Oh for Fuh.... Why not get Trig on there as well?

[callous taoboy]

20. Dancing with the Czars

[nolabear]

25. Hope he doesn't. I halfway like old Todd.

I'm not sure why; maybe because he shuts the hell up and just lets that little Tasmanian Devil spin. I could see him in a paso doble (yum) but if he slaps anyone's butt or does that shoulder shimmy I might have to tear my eyeballs out.

[sadbear]

26. YES!!!

The sooner America tires of the whole failin' Palin clan, the better.

[PBS Poll-435]

28. Tawd!

May his success equal Tom Delay's.

[Raine]

30. That should finish off DWTS ... I can just see viewers

(except or the teabaggers) dropping that show faster than Palin drops her G's.
