Dancing With the Stars Spoiler Alert

I don't watch Dancing With the Stars, nor do I care who wins it. I even wrote a post recently expressing a small measure of glee whenever a silly reality show gets punk'd by its own rules. And while I seriously doubt anyone will land on this page who could possibly be spoiled for the revelation of who the winner is, I also don't wish to spoil anyone's fun. So, I'm putting the rest of this post low down on the page. Scroll on down to read more.

Now that you're here, I'd fist like to point out that Bristol Palin didn't win. Despite the best efforts and nearly mentally unbalanced effort given by conservatives such as Tammy Bruce and the whole of FreeRepublic.com, Jennifer Grey managed to pull out a win.  This doesn't give me any real joy. The results of the contest are usually completely off of my radar. But given the all out, insane push to stuff the ballot box as some delusional "payback" for the nonexistent voter fraud by the left in actual elections, I do have a small bit of satisfaction.

But what if Bristol had won? What exactly would that have proven? Nothing, not really. But it does speak to a trend.  One of the biggest reasons expressed by people voting 1,000s of times for Bristol was "to see liberals' heads explode." This was all about making the left angry, frustrated or otherwise get their panties in a twist. If you read any of the online chatter about it, you'll quickly find that there is far more talk about how many times they voted, and how great it would be if Bristol won--than anything about her skill as a dancer.  Check it out here if you don't believe me.  This situation is nearly exactly mirrored in just about any discussion around Sarah Palin's prospects for the Presidency.  They talk about her chances. They spin away her gaffes and malapropisms. They pump her up, and tout her as the ultimate candidate. But she's about as good a politician as Bristol is a dancer. No, scratch that. Bristol's better than that.
