Okay, I admit it. I’m having way too much fun. But some people are taking this shit waaaaaay too serious.
“I’m a liberal Democrat, and I state that proudly. But I have no patience with my friends who believe there is a conspiracy keeping Bristol on the show. They’ll say, ‘Oh, well! She’s still on the show! She’s obviously not the best dancer! She gets the lowest scores!’ I’ll say, ‘OK, right. So who did you vote for instead of Bristol?’ ‘Uh, well, I don’t vote!’ ‘Well, then, f**k you,’” he griped to Movieline.com. “I have no patience for that! If you don’t participate to create a different outcome — and this can be true in national politics or a TV reality show — then don’t piss and moan if you don’t like the way it’s playing out. I think Bristol is clearly not the best dancer here, but she’s a charming young woman who’s shown an incredible growth from week one to this week.”
Tonight’s the last night of competition on this season’s Dancing With the Stars. It’s gonna be craaaaayzeeeee!
The number to call or text (AT&T customers only) your vote for them is 800-868-3407. You can also vote online by going here. You get to vote several times, several different ways.

Tuning in now. LOL.
Tom Bergeron:
“Please, don’t shoot your television.”
LOL !!
(crowd noise)
Clothes-watcher report: Bristol’s outfit looks freaky weird! This is going to be fun.
My 13yo says she must have Bristol’s skirt, but in purple.
Her shoes remind me of my HS days.
I’ll have to take another look — I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like her outfit.
(as I sneak off to change into “lounging clothes”
Oooh, Sarah’s in the audience!
Someone in TL must be gnashing her teeth.
She’s in Denver – the show doesn’t come on for two hours there.
LOL – the post tonight should be flaming! Can’t you just see her screaming BOOOOOO at her television?!
I got an e-mail and no account!?!
Ok: 5 votes for Bridget and Mark, on your behalf. 🙂
That felt Sooooooo good ! 🙂
Who’s Bridget?
She’s a French animal rights activist and a former fashion model, actress and singer
🙂
Ever hear her duet with Serge Gainsbourg, “Je t’aime… moi non plus” ?
He re-recorded it years later with Jane Birkin – the song was banned in the US after about a week on the charts.
Oops. Meant Bristol. LOL
I thought Bristol looked good.
So far the judges gave both the dancers straight 9s
Will they do the same with Jennifer?
This is what I meant by “way too serious”
I’m gonna take a wild guess and say these threats didn’t come from a Tea Partier
I’m just wondering if the threats came from some place in Denver?.
They can track that stuff down. If they’re not arresting people, …. well they should.
And, those threats are coming from people who call themselves democrats, I would guess. I’m sure JM would probably craft one if she thought she could get away with it.
The internet voting area is so full, it’s slow as snails. I did read some of the boards, though, and it appears ABC may have stopped the unlimited voting with multiple email addresses from the same computer. Bristol won’t win if they fixed the problem.
You’re assuming that she only won due to freeping – maybe she really has lots of supporters.
Actually, I do think she has lots of fans. A whole crop of teenage girls from christian families think her abstinence message is worthy of admiration.
But, ABC appears to have responded to the claims that tea partiers are voting for hours with fake email addresses.
It’s a reality television show, not a Democratic caucus.
Yes, it sure would be funny if the government got involved, but not when it was a violation of voters Voting Rights.
May the best person win and if it is myiq2xu’s gal, i hope she enjoys herself after having to put up with Ricky Hollywood Jerk!
Levi Johnston is a powerful argument for abstinence.
He is literally a dumb fuck
My guess would be Boulder as a possibility 🙂
Trust me, Ralph – the worst someone from here could do is bore her to death.
VINDICATION!!!!
Today was a day of vindication for me–bitter-sweet that it is. I posted earlier about the conversation I overheard in a coffee shop. Two older guys talking about what a disappointment Obama is, and that he is “out of his league, and too inexperienced. But you were all gung-ho. We should have elected Hillary.” It’s everywhere, I thought.
But tonight…was the icing on the cake.
I have an old friend from high school who was the epitome a “creative-type” Kool Aid chugger. She and her husband (a Yalie) are both in the entertainment industry in L.A. and she went as far as to have Organizing for America get-togethers at her house. Several times we got into very heated arguments about Obama, and there was risk of losing the friendship. She loved Hillary, but had that particular brand of Obot infatuation that made me apoplectic. They would not, or could not, see who he really was. She read his books, repeated Axelrod’s every talking point and refused to investigate new information. It was nauseating.
She just called me, and I had to come here to share it with you all. She said she and her husband were watching the news this week, and she turned to him and said: “Frannie (me) was right about Obama.”
Her husband muttered: “Frannie was right about Obama.”
I can’t tell you what a watershed moment that was–both personally and nationally. If she feels that way, and is willing to speak it out loud, Obama has completely lost his core supporters. I think we should start a contest: “Who will be the last Obot standing? It could be a reality show. Will it be Oprah? Frank Rich? Spike Lee?
ABG
Among the non-celebrities I think an idiot Obot (yeah, I know it’s redundant) on the Doors’ board’s Politics and Current Events forum is going to rank pretty high.
I’ve regularly posted links to TC and BAR but he simply dismisses every argument against Obama for lack of “objectivity” (!!) and of course his CDS is off the charts. I’m sooo not wasting any more time on him.
You mean “Gooberhead McFailbot”? 😛
Woot! That is GREAT!
HONK HONK HONK!!!
Awesome fif. Of course you were right!
Love my Confluence tribe 🙂
Not that it makes us happy to see the country sputtering for life, but there is a certain sweetess that comes from that kind of confirmation. They tried to intimidate us, harass us, humiliate and shame us, beat us down, & exile us, and now they cannot deny the truth.
That’s so great fif! I have some die hard obot friends, too. For the last several times they’ve come over, they mention Hillary. As in “you must be so happy about how Hillary is doing.” Or, “Hillary has the highest polling of anyone in the administration…”
I just agree and rattle on a bit about her wonderful accomplishments and isn’t great how a prepared and committed person can function so beautifully on the international level. Haven’t had the heart to ask them how disappointed they are in 0. But I have a feeling they will be bringing it up any day now.
Oh, how fun. I know how you feel.
My sister (an O fan) told me the other day that she wishes Dad (a Hillary guy) would back off … that she’s as unhappy with Obama as anyone.
So in my family that’s 1 … and 4 to go.
Jeez, I love reading that!
OMG That was the perfect freestyle song & dance for Bristol.
Levi must be shaking in his flip-flops.
The judges gave her low scores — don’t they know that will make the TP vote more for her?
Nice twirl with Jennifer!
That was awesome.
Jennifer is sure fun to watch!
Okay, but i have to vote for jennifer number 1 cause i have loved her since ferris bueller and dirty dancing. I have been so excited to see this season cause this is like my dirty dancing two that never got made. I do have to say i have been happily surprised with bristol when she smiles. And jennifer just carried a watermelon:) yay!!!
You own your vote
What was the watermelon thing about?

Well Bristol is very courageous, on many levels. Haven’t seen the show before so hard to take it seriously. But I hope Bristol does win. She probably had more fun in the beginning before all this political atmosphere.
I doubt she cares about the politics at all. She’s just trying to get by and doing a good job of it for someone of her age.
But dealing with the pressure from all that mocking and hate from the political media, the threats, news stories about people blowing up their TVs because of her. She hears about all that. Like she said in the show, she didn’t enter the contest because she was dying to win it all. She wanted to have fun, being herself. She’s obviously an honest good kid, and that says something about her parents.
Bristol does have good footwork but i have enjoyed the routines where she is smiling more. For me this isn’t at all political, and i don’t like how some people have made it political. Vote for who you want to vote and i would hope politics could stay out of my entertainment. Like how all those entertainers were fawning over obama, that totally made me see them differently after that and i didn’t like how i saw them all googoo for obo…
🙂 Tom Delay was a contestant a few seasons ago. Now, THAT was political.
JM said she enjoyed watching him.
I had to be physically restrained from clawing my eyes out
(snort) That would have been bad.
(screaming)
AAAAGGGGKKKK!!!
(claws eyes out)
Sally Quinn:
You know, this wouldn’t have been a problem if two years ago you backed an actual Democrat.
Yes.
OK, 60 votes for Bristol. Man, ABC makes you work hard. Did I go over the top? I can never tell.
Oh puh-leeze, you’re lying through your tooth.
I know you created a program to auto-vote for you.
No, did it by hand. If I made a program, I’d probably go for 20, maybe 30 thousand. 🙂
By hand isn’t hard, it’s just that ABC is so hosed, it takes forever.
Don’t you mean “IT would go for 20, maybe 30 thousand?”
🙂 yep. Unless it has a mind of its own and would do something else. I’m calling it skynet. What could possibly go wrong?
Really? Can I have a copy?
Shouldn’t you wait until she dances!?!
They were dancing?
Bwahahahahaha!!!
This is FUNNY:

Damn You Autocorrect
It’s going on the blogroll
Good — we need more funnies!
I like this … A friend offered to meet me here for ice cream sometime:
http://richmondsfblog.com/2010/11/14/pranksters-promise-a-new-do-it-yourself-crematorium-on-geary-25th-avenue/
Captain Spaulding is gonna be so mad he didn’t think of it first.
He was planning on opening a cryogenic facility called “Kill ’em and Chill ’em” but he couldn’t get the EPA permit.
Maybe he could sign up for a franchise?
What about a mobile crematorium?
(The Captain can’t stay in one place too long)
Did you notice the company’s name is
SGI for Solient Green Industries.
🙂
SGI normally stands for Silicon Graphics, Inc.
No, I was too busy thinking about how it’s about 1/2 mile down Geary from Kaiser Hospital where I was born.
How convenient is that?
I used to work for a company on Geary.
At the DT mortuary, we answer the phone with you stab ’em we slab ’em.
“Don’t let them spend your inheritance. Call Captain Spaulding and say ‘It’s my money and I want it now!‘”
Hey, that’s right next to where I used to have Dim Sum every weekend. The freshest Dim Sum in San Francisco.
I almost died laughing at those.
Finally looking at this (laughing)
“What does invaginate even mean?”
HaHa!
For some reason this song seems oddly appropriate:
The captain could open Koolaid for koolbots stands
a la Jim Jones and kill off the little pests.
Hell, I’d give the captain seed money this minute!
Shhhh!
Some of them read this blog – we don’t want to warn them.
Obots were piling on a Jake Tapper’s thread just now with their latest favorite meme: “the majority of Americans are idiots.” I left this comment which seems to have shut them up.
Idiocy, like koolaid delirium, is an entirely non-partisan affliction.
Obots are idiots, so you should have said “It takes one to know one.”
Guess who?
Gaming the system? How about the 10s Jennifer Grey got for standing there & watching Derek dance for her freestyle?
Jennifer Grey was totally overscored by the judges to ensure that Bristol doesn’t win & she still isn’t f*cking satisfied.
I was feeling bad about not voting for Kyle because he really is adorable, has improved week to week & is not a ringer (like Jennfier), so under normal circumstances I would be voting for him. But after reading that from Jeralyn, I’m very glad I gave all of my votes to Bristol, just so Jeralyn can cry herself to sleep over a cheesy DANCE SHOW.
Hey! I’m in moderation!! Free me!!
I’m still TRYING to vote. ABC won’t let me log in. GRR.
Bristol was every bit as good as Kyle. Neither approached the standard set by Jennifer but she was taught to dance by Patrick Swayze, himself. Of course, she’s fabulous!
Patrick Swayze did teach her, but she was “taught” to dance by her professional dancer mother & at the school she attended to specifically study dance & acting.
I didn’t know that. She’s a triple ringer when you consider who her papa is.
And don’t forget her father Joel Gray….
FTW:
Ouch! LOL.
Kahhhh-Boooooom!
Jeralyn,Jeralyn, calm yourself girl. DWTS is supposed to be gamed. The score is one half from the judges and one half from the fans. Jeez.
Yeah, the judges are doing their best to sink Palin’s fans.
Joan Walsh retweet:
I think Bristol would have been awesome on #TeenMom where she could beat Levi and date a convict from the Snow Prison.
Joan Walsh can kiss my @ss.
And mine!
(rolling eyes) And to think I was a Premium Subscriber to Salon for years……
I feel ya, kb — I was a premium subscriber too.
Me three
Me 4
For special occasions, I’d give subscriptions to others. I shouldn’t call other people dumb asses. I are one too.
Ugh, me as well. I left as the campaigns started ramping up, when the misogyny in comments (and occasionally the articles, including Broadsheet) just got overwhelming. Do you think Joan is modeling herself after Jeralyn?
Prob. the other way around — Jeralyn strikes me as the star-struck one.
Thank goodness I let that go a long time ago!
BTW, anywho feels the need to shoot their TV, please, please consider turning the gun on yourself to spare the rest of the world from your stupidity.
Thank you.
Yeah, don’t waste a perfectly good television.
… or bullet.
Gah! I can’t believe I went to some of the DWTS message boards — people are actually saying that Bristol hasn’t lost that much weight so she must not be working hard!!
F*ck me.
Say what?
😯
Exactly — WTF? They are judging the poor girl on her weight — how totally unexpected. Bristol isn’t a typical Hollywood size 0 cannot be more than a size 8 and that really isn’t a lot.
Well who would have thought they could be so shallow 😉
What a bunch of maroons.
The camera adds pounds. That’s why movie stars starve to be size 0
The camera does add *some* weight, but not enough to make most of those skeletons in LA look healthy, imo.
Dr. Grumpy:
WTF??? ATT says voting is closed in my time zone. Can’t create an account at ABC because my e-mail addresses are already registered….again WTF???
Try signing up through your Twitter account, if you have one.
Kyle had the best performances tonight, but I voted for Bristol because of the over-the-top hate from some. She’s only 19 or 20 years old, for chrissake! I thought Jennifer’s selection of a Dirty Dancing was cheap and unnecessary. She danced very well, naturally, but not as great in the free dance. Bristol did fantastic in the free dance — better than her jive, which is a very difficult and grueling dance!
Bristol ain’t no skinny Minnie. She’s a big girl but I don’t mean she’s fat, I mean Amazon. She’s probably taller than half the boys she went to school with. Officially she’s only 5’5″ but if you look at family pictures she’s gotta be at least 5’8″ in her bare feet.
But she’s still very pretty. She reminds me of the cheerleaders in this video:
No way. She can’t be taller than 5’5 same as her mom.
nope. palin is WAY taller than that….I have proof! MJ wouldn’t lie!
North Korea shells South Korean island
Nuclear North Korea: timing is everything
That’s interesting. I assumed it was a good time because the US is mired in wars all over the Middle East and has a weak president.
I wonder how China will react. They are heavily invested in the US and many US trading partners are US allies. The potential for financial consequences for China are very high.
Don’t forget that this all started with Bush the Lesser.
This republican resurgence is a testament to how poorly Obama, Pelosi and Reid have governed these past 4 years.
Whoa, I was finally able to vote for Bristol this morning at 2 am PST!
I have never watched this show and didn’t watch last night. But the visceral reaction to this young woman is over the top and scary.
I thought the original idea of this show was to guage the “improvement” of the “amateur” performer over time.
My 13yo voted for Bristol (her idea). This morning she tells me, “I don’t think Bristol is losing. I had to call 30 times to vote 5 times for her.”
Anyone who watches a program like this is in need of some serious self reflection. Seriously.
