Margaret Cho: Sarah forced Bristol to appear on DWTS

[kskiska]

(snip)

Why did Bristol do Dancing with the Stars? 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. 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. 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. I am sure the show wasn’t in on this (but who knows anything really).

Now I am scared I am going to wake up with a decapitated moose head in my bed.

1. Bristol is a fully autonomous human being.

2. but we all have something of our mothers inside. (luckily, in my case.)

7. Do you know that her mother doesn't have a hold on her?

Mothers have been known to do that, you know, well into adulthood.

17. If she were --

Bristol would have stood by her assertion that abstinence is unrealistic for teens instead of caving in to Mams and becoming Ms. Teen Abstinence.

You better believe there is great pressure on the kids to maintain the Sarah Palin Image.

3. I am sure it took a lot of convincing...

:sarcasm:

4. Caribou Barbie blames *Bristol* for losing the election?!

Did Bristol say she could see Russia from her house? Did Bristol ask "In what respect, Charlie?" For that matter, did Bristol forget how many houses she owns? Criminetly. :eyes:

5. I'd be surprised

if Bristol was eager to put her chunky body out on HDTV in a leotard. Of course she was pushed. It would be interesting to know if there was a deal between the Palins and the DWTS to carry her as far as she did.

6. oh for fuck's sake

Girls have enough problems with body image without this sort of bullshit.

Bristol is a beautiful young woman, even if I disagree with her mother's politics.

8. I second that OFFS!

I feel for Bristol, truly feel for her. I cannot imagine having Caribou Barbie as a mother! My mind quite literally will NOT let me go there.

9. I third it! n/t

14. I agree

Not a fan of the overly skinny girls myself

I think she's pretty hawt looking. I likes me some women with curvy bodies :D

10. Could you please post a photo

of your perfectly sculpted, Adonis like body so I can judge whether or not you're missing a sarcasm tag?

11. That sounds about right. Caribu barbie is starting to seem more like a disney villan to me.

13. Stage mother from the 10th circle of hell.

Early on things looked forced, and Bristol never really did give the vibe that she was truly having a good time. While I hate how her presence really screwed up the show, I do feel sorry for the kid.

15. "The Aristocrats".....strike again !!!!

[Ichingcarpenter]

16. Its a True Story .... she knows the TWTS behind the scenes crowd

and other shows In LA.... who hear the real shit behind stage.

I have Margaret as my avatar..
If anyone notices?........LOL

[Ichingcarpenter]

18. Any Psychologists Want to comment on what this relationship is?

I really wondered where this started with Sarah and her child?
Think about a mother that is what she is....her schooling, college and career stage, beauty pageant,
sports announcer, mayor of Methville, Deacon at the Church of Holy Rollers, Governor, VP nominee, Queen of the Media.

Hi....... I'm your Mom........
Bristol don't get pregnant with Thought?
