Don't Blame Bristol (Palin)

In Hollywood there is a hubbub over the success of Bristol Palin on “Dancing With The Stars.” The gist is: “How can this ignorant clod from Alaska who has done nothing with her life be winning every week?” That seems to be the composite consensus from the Hollywood media.

Let’s quickly start with the premise of “ignorant clod from Alaska who has done nothing with her life.” That’s easy, other than singing or playing a sport, what makes any of the other contestants any more intelligent? Based on their inability to put together coherent sentences on anything but their own careers, there is nothing that qualifies them more than Bristol. None of these “stars” who are supposed to be the spokesperson for any number of things has done anything to show they are worthy of being listened to beyond a recording studio. So, in that case, Bristol is on a pretty level playing field with any one of the contestants. Other than not being able to dance very well.

And I’m glad the media is able to recognize she’s from Alaska. Asking her critics in the media to find Alaska on a map would be much more challenging. They’re more likely to point to Greenland or Canada – and that’s presuming they can find the right continent.

The interesting thing that seems to be eluding the media is how the Palin name is so popular. Right now we are missing the candidates for the Republican run at the White House in 2012 and Sarah Palin is the only one who is stepping to the microphone to speak. We’re in a political vacuum right now. President Obama is EVERYWHERE speaking for the Democrats, but Palin is the only voice for the other side so far.

If you want to complain about Bristol winning you need to call the White House and complain to THEM for having such a far left president who is governing against the will of the people and causing such a reaction AGAINST him in American society that a little girl from Alaska is beating out “stars” who actually can dance. DWTS started during election season with the success of Bristol directly reflecting the success of the Republicans sweeping into the House of Representatives November 2.

What SHOULD be alarming Washington and the White House is that even after the elections Bristol continues to win – that’s an indicator they should heed. What this little television show SHOULD tell Washington is that the American voters are not taking the time after the elections for downtime this year. There’s no lull after the elections like in past election years where Congress can do what until they want until about January because no one is paying attention. The American voters are watching and are starting their march to 2012. America is speaking – the question is: Who is listening?
