"A rural Dane County man believes Bristol Palin should not be on 'Dancing With The Stars.'
"He demanded his wife get his pistols to emphasize his point.
"The result: A 15-hour standoff Monday and Tuesday involving hostage negotiators, a dog team and other law enforcement authorities on one side and the Town of Vermont man on the other.
"The only casualty: The man's television."

I don't think it's fair to shoot your TV unless it can shoot back.

I remember hearing at some point she was going to be on that show but had no idea that
a. It was this season
b. The season was underway and
c. She was still on the show.
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
Oh boy...she shouldn't have been kept on the show, that's for sure. But to kill your TV...that's 'killing the messenger' for sure!
Shooting the TV I can empathize with, but that's no reason to tie up the cops for 15 hours.
The contestant that was sent home was a much better dancer.
There is an aspect of that show that includes phone calls to vote for certain contestants. We should feel very lucky... things might have been much different if Sarah's supporters had been so kind to her.
One of my facebook friends who is both a) liberal and b) a big DWTS fan posted a piece speculating whether tea parties were gaming the system. They don't have anything resembling solid evidence although they do point out how it could be done.
The other interesting thing in the article is simply demogragphics....the show is more popular among Republicans (true before Palin was on there).
