Sarah Palin Reportedly Lobbying To Get Christine O'Donnell On 'Dancing With The Stars'

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/23/sarah-palin-christine-odonnell-dancing-with-the-stars_n_787434.html

Sarah Palin reportedly lobbied producers of the ABC hit show "Dancing With The Stars" on Thursday night to bring failed Tea Party-backed U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell on as a contestent to the next season of the program.

According to the entertainment website PopEater, the former Alaska governor assumed the role of "casting director" when cheering on daughter Bristol as she competed in the show's finale. Rob Shuter writes:

"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."


How about Sarah lobby for O'Donnell to move the hell out of my state of Delaware. We aren't keen on dumbasses.

4. Of Course They'll Do It
How could they possibly say no after the ratings boost her daughter is producing.

6. They have one right-winger on each season so I am not surprised or will be surprised
if they put her on. One season they had Tucker Carlson, next season Tom Delay and now Palin's daughter. Shows you who ABC is and I haven't watched it since Carlson and won't. If they want their right wingers let them have them and let them support their advertising.

The show is a farce anymore anyway.

8. What on Earth would she dance to, "Springtime For Hitler?"
Edited on Tue Nov-23-10 03:35 PM by TheWatcher
At this rate, they just need to rename the Show "Dancing With The Fascists" and be done with it.

Or how about "The New Nazi Revue?"

Goot For Der Homeland!

9. Because being a "Star" is, after all, what it's all about.
Presitainer hopeful Palin knows whereof she pimps.

10. I'm loving her thought process of
MORE airtime + LESS credibility = MORE credibility.


The sad part is, in America, it might actually be true.

14. Maybe Palin has found a new job - Talent Agent
It may be the first gig she's qualified for.

17. If this doesn't kill Palin as a credible candidate for 2012 I fear nothing will
Someone needs to remind Palin that Obama was pilloried for being a "celebrity" vs. a politician during the campaign. That someone then needs to ask her how in the hell she's any different at this point.

People are astounded that she doesn't follow protocol, and it gets attention.
