Tonight’s the night. Will it be Jennifer, Kyle, or the Spawn of Evil? Will Jeralyn’s head explode? Will more innocent televisions have to die?
Tune in to ABC at 9 p.m. Eastern to find out.

Sarah Palin Wants Christine O’Donnell on Next ‘Dancing With the Stars’
Sarah Palin was not only playing the role of proud mama grizzly last night when she sat in the front row cheering on daughter Bristol Palin in the finale of ‘Dancing With The Stars’ — she was also playing casting director, lobbying the show’s producers to consider signing up her Tea Party pal Christine O’Donnell for next season.
“Sarah is a genius at marketing herself and her message,” an insider tells me. “She doesn’t care about all the old rules about how political people are meant to behave and act. Sarah believes the best way is to go directly to the people — use Twitter, Facebook, ‘Dancing With the Stars’ and ‘Entertainment Tonight’ to get potential voters excited and leave ‘Meet The Press’ and those boring Sunday morning shows to the old-school politicians.”
And with the huge success of her own reality show, ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska,’ and Bristol stunning everyone with the fact that she is still in the ‘Dancing’ competition, Sarah might be onto something. Plus, who else are the ‘Dancing’ producers going to get after Bristol?
“Christine is not a bad idea at all,” one ABC executive tells me. “After Kate Gosselin and Cloris Leachman, O’Donnell would fit right in. She certainly would be so controversial that the amount of press attention and buzz the show would get would be huge. Plus, you know they would make her dance in a witch’s hat with a broomstick.”
If Christine O’Donnell isn’t available, maybe they could get Carrie Prejean.
This is an open thread
What's the matter? Don't you like clowns?

You don’t see the difference between Sarah Palin, Carrie Prejean and Christine O’Donnell?
Fascinating.
What would you say is the most significant difference between them, politically speaking. I’d like to be fascinated too.
Republican politics I mostly disagree with, favorite female punching bag for fauxgressives. I don’t see much difference.
I would say that Sarah Palin has an actual record in office. Ms. O’Donnell did not get elected and Ms. Prejean is not a politician. Of course, Ms. Prejean’s view on gays are similar to President Obama’s. (Sorry, I believe Ms. Prejean married but I don’t know her married name.)
djmm
She married Kyle Boller – the Raiders 3rd string QB
myiq have you been in Akron recently? I wouldn’t like no stinkin clown accosting me on the crapper.

Hi cincy. Guess who else is from Akron.
Chrissie Hynde… Pretenders…. Ooohhhh.
Chrissie Hynde… Pretenders…. Ooooohhhh
Myiq2Xu hasn’t joined the TSA as far as I know, and I don’t think they are doing POTTY PAT DOWNS YET!
Well, I put most of my votes in last night and finished the rest this morning.
I’m hoping Bristol wins and if she doesn’t, ABC or someone from DWTS gamed the system to her disadvantage. lol Everyone I know voted for her just to mess with people. It’s less about skill (although, she has improved) and more about pissing people off.
On another note, I’m a TV and film junkie. There are always these reports that the national average of TV time is 8 hours or so. Well, I watch WAY more than that. It would be sad, if I weren’t so messed up in the head. lol
I’ve never watched the show, but I kept trying for three hours to get my votes in.
The web site was jammed with people trying to get their votes in last night. These two dances tonight are judges scored only and are all they need to “game” the system if ABC wants to pick the winner.
I normally don’t pay a whit of attention to DWTS.
But this Bristol Palin finale will be fun to read about tomorrow, especially if she wins. Will the left’s head explode? If she loses, will the right claim the left wing media manipulated the results? This is going to be juicy……
This whole mess is unworthy of attention– reminds me of Michael Jackson’s trial.
The 2004 cotton harvest in Turkmenistan was 3% greater than predicted.
I saw that. I don’t understand why people continue to think that it’s even remotely RELEVANT what a bunch of well-paid talking heads say about her. It clearly isn’t making a dent. PEOPLE LIKE HER. And apparently all the bloviating in the world isn’t changing it.
That woman’s voice gives me the chills…such cold, jealous, hatred in her tone, and words, of course. Who is she?
Actually, who cares. Let her remain nameless.
Hint: she was sent to jail
Shouldn’t have released her.
KAHHHHH-BOOOOOOM.
Ah, don’t get your hopes up, I’m just practicing.
What is the spoiler policy on this thread. Isn’t it going to be a couple of hours before people in California see it?
Please spoil it!!! I’m in California just waiting…
LOL – I’m west coast, too. If I don’t want to stay up for the results, I just watch the ABC website…go to the DWTS page and read the message boards. The East Coast viewers do a good live blog
I’m on the West Coast and I officially WANT to be spoiled. Maybe someone can email me?
Yahoo News will have the results as soon as their out.
they’re
I’ll use the SPOILER tag .. OK?
Highlight this whole row: …Like this…!
Hey! It worked!!
Damn it, The Onion is turning to crap!!!! Aaaarrrggghh.
Losing it’s wit. Plus.. Just read story about world leaders meeting to show each other their penises. Story was lousy and unclever and they had a photograph up close of a penis saying it was the pope’s I don’t care that they’re goofing on the pope- have at it.
But classless and stupid to show such a photo.
Onion- get back to being smart and funny.. Our country needs you.
I think showing each others penises about sums it up — metaphorically speaking.
And you thought we were boring? Why should you have all the fun down there?
It seems a politician went to a function in Quebec thrown in his honor, and somehow his coat was stolen. He wanted the local riding association to pay for it:
My absolute favorite part of the article (and no it’s not Onion, and it’s not satire):
Did spammy eat my comment??
Yep.
I’m pretty sure that DWTS figured Bristol Palin would end up like other conservative figures on the show, like Tucker Carlson and Tom Delay. Unlike them, Bristol actually wanted to try.
I don’t think I would be surprised if Obama ended up on DWTS next year. If you know the movie American Dreamz, it doesn’t seem to far-fetched.
Thanks Katie.
A priceless question from You-Know-Who:
(I still don’t know who won.)
Of course. Right after Obama gives back his Nobel Peace Prize.
Heh.
LOL, given that Bristol is obviously a horrible person, so sayeth Jeralyn, of course she won’t turn it down.
Some people are really showing their true colors, the true shallowness of their spirit…and I’m not talking about Bristol.
And the Democratic nomination.
And all of the other offices he won where he didn’t serve.
Peace Prize hell, how about the White House?
Ghost2 wins 10,000 Internets for that one!
Ugh, now they’re going to drag it out. This is why I only record these type of shows.
Brooke just said “we’re going to miss you” …what for the next 8 minutes???
Bristol has already won. She’s shown courage, integrity, and grace under fire. You know, all those qualities the left threw away back in 2008 when they lost the moral upper hand.
HONK!!!!!
honk!
HONK!
Honk x 100
You betcha!
Jennifer Grey won with her “ruptured disc” in her back.
Yea, yet another “injury”.
Do you know her history? Her age?
She’s 50 (she’s 1 week older than me) and she injured her back in a 1987 car accident in Ireland.
And, she just went through treatment for cancer in her neck.
She had a tumor in her neck. She had it removed. She is cancer free.
I’ve had a tumor removed from my neck. I’m also cancer free.
You’re not the subject.
Verb?
It’s over and the one with talent won… what an odd concept!!!
Well, the ringer won. Big yawn, no surprise.
Which makes for a boring ending.
Nobody puts Bristol in the corner!
The one with the dance training and the parents with the Hollywood connections won.
(insert eye roll here)
Sheesh – you sound like Jeralyn…just for a different contestant.
What did I say that wasn’t true?
You think Jeralyn is lying about something? I think you sound jealous of Jennifer Grey.
What an inane thing to say. Grow up.
Unlike the who won the 2008 Dem. nomination & the US Presidency.
I’m sick of Jennifer’s injuries! Just get on with it, girl!
I actually thought Kyl was the best and was rooting for him part of the way though the show. He was incredible. Jennifer was giving me the creeps I hate to day. Oh well.
Yawn.
Next Tea Party Target: Corporate America
They are primarily targeting corporations which supported Obama’s agenda but it should spread.
Did Spammy eat my comment?
And if yes, for Haruhi’s sake why?
I can’t seem to post anything. What’s going on here?
Spammy is really upset about what happened on DWTS – I think he’s been drinking.
My favorite thing about DWTS is we actually saw elitism over a game show. Now isn’t that something.
I personally am deeply offended over how many retirees have the gall to try to get on The Price Is Right. They should get out of the way of those college students who totally need that cruise and can tell you to the dime the cost of that dining room set!
Elitism must be everywhere and it has gone unnoticed. Over a game show sheesh.

Thanksgiving Heart Attack…
Bacon makes everything better.
HONK HONK!
Everything
I guess Jeralyn lucked out.
Suppose so. I wonder, though, if she realizes what an @ss she makes of herself when she talks about Bristol in terms only a mean girl in middle school would use. The name calling is so unattractive, yet she states Bristol has no class.
Yeah, but having your head asplode is really ugly.
She’d have to wear hats all the time to conceal the damage.
Well, that permanently curled upper lip is destined to be right in the middle of her face for all to see.
This past week has been high comedy reading comments on blogs of all sorts about a reality show.
I read hear everyday and usually don’t have time to read the comments and have only posted a couple of times but gotta say myiq2xu you are funny!!!
And I confess I loved reading how they bastardized katie couric’s name in every way possible to create email addresses to vote for Bristol.
Wonder if there exists a journOlist out there who will have the courage to really examine this cultural phenom.
The Fauxbots don’t realize the joke is on them.
Was it you who voted for Bristol under the email address “Jeralyn@talkleft.com”? She got an email confirmation from ABC this morning
Oopsie..
{{whistling and trying to look nonchalant}}
Actually it wasn’t me. Wish I had thought of it though.
When I read it had happened, I instantly thought it was myiq2xu
I am a simple guy who likes simple pleasures and as such reading way way over the top responses about a dance show gave me a WTF chuckle.
It’s freaking theater of the absurd. Obama I didn’t vote for the war–Hillary is a racist- Greek Pillars- Dave Matthews appearing for free on college campuses and sotero getting credit for the size of the crowd- MEchelle’s outfits- everyday American’s being groped by rent-a-cops and being out raged and the nightly news telling us over and over again that most American’s are okay with it- and on and on
I for one wish DWTS was going on for a little while longer so I could then at least laugh at the state of journalism instead of simply shaking my head in despair.
By the way love or hate Gov Palin her calling out reporters and members of the press is long over due.
Yes it is, and it seems to be getting worse.
Bristol the Pistol went out with a bang and danced best at the last- keeping up with the routine and not being outperformed by her partner. Politics aside, she should have tied with Kyle because he had more experience working the crowd but she had better technique and the chemistry between her and Marc was amazing.
