It would be a good occasion to say to the audience that her mother knows no shiit about politic….and wouldn’t give a damn about it if it was free to work for…

But did she only kinow what her mother’s ideas…:)

# 2

She’s a cute girl and she looks very sweet and I’m not a hater, but the truth is that she’s only on the show for be the knocked up daughter of a failed nominee for vice president. She is not a celebrity.

# 3

It’s easy to grin from ear to ear when there’s nothing between them. There’s a special place in Hades reserved for John McCain for introducing the Lower 48 to the whole deranged Palin family.

I love Mark Ballas, I hope he wins again.

Excuse me, last time I checked this is a forum for Hollywood gossip, not a place to vent your rage about the political climate. If you want to express your political opinions, write a letter to the editor of the Washington Post, Weekly Standard, WSJ, LA Times, whatever. Leave politics off this forum please.

She’s a 19 year-old-girl who has nothing to do with politics. Stop with the cheap shots.

she’s cute, I hope she does well.

@nanny825: It’s an open forum. If the poster wants to make that comment s/he can. If JUST JARED doesn’t like it, he’ll remove it. And, newsflash, the H-wood gossip aspect of the site and the obvious political connection are relevant AND interrelated. Time time fire up the synapses, hon’.

I am so disappointed with Dancing With the Stars. Bristol Palin was a teenage unwed mother. What makes her a star? If this makes her a star I have about 200 more stars for you to choose from. This just lets everybody know that we continue to have double standards. Her mother may be a star to some of us but Bristol certainly isn’t. I know that it doesn’t mean very much but I won’t be watching the show this season. This is absolutely ridiculous. What kind of message are you sending to our young teens?

@Elaine Robinson:

some might consider the brats in the WH, stars, get over yourself

Too bad she doesn’t seem to have any of the charisma her mother has. I think she’ll have one of those stiff, awkward, stunned Kate Gosselin things going on

Not a fan of the show since they got rid of ORIGINAL female host and former ET reporter Lisa Canning. Her charm and experience as a reporter was great addition.
BUT last season drew me in with a very competitive cast. Won’t be watching this season.
It should be called Dancing D-listers.

she seems a sweet nice pretty girl. i hope she wins.

Who did Sarah pay to get her daughter on the show? She’s not even a reality show celeb. Poor Mark; another losing season for him.

@missy:

Please can you leave the White House out of this. I did not call anyone out of their name and now the Obama children are brats. Get over yourself! You are entitled to your opinion and so am I. I shouldn’t respond to you but the comment about the children in the White House was totally unnecessary. They have nothing to do with Bristol being on Dancing With the Stars!

Yeah, why is she a “Star”? For having a child out of wedlock while she was a teenager? Nice message. Whatever. That family:” so hypocritical. Media hungry hillbillies.

@nanny825:

IF this 19 year old girl has nothing to do with politics, then she has nothing to do with being a celebrity…. or anybody special for that matter…. shes the daughter of a failed politician, deal with it.

I would also have to agree. Having a child out of wedlock is not an easy situation and instead of spending time dancing and trying to be a “celebrity” she should be focusing on her family and trying to rectify the differences between her and the father of the child.

@nanny825:

RepubliKKKans suck!!!

She’s a pretty girl, she seems to be taking care of her baby (unlike Kate Gosselin and her kids). I don’t remember Dancing with the Stars being anything more than D list anyway, it’s not like you are seeing Halle Berry – also an unwed mother – or any other really major celebrities dancing.

making a career out of being an unwed mother.

Just another right wing hypocrite. She does what she wants – but Bristol and her mother want to tell YOU how to live YOUR life because they think you are too stupid to make your own decisions.

@she is:

I agree.

she agreed to do the show, which means she is setting herself up for criticism. if she wanted to stay out of the political arena, she should not have done appearances, etc. for her mother, a career politician. does anyone really believe that any teen mom can get on dancing with the stars on her own?

Agree #9

And wow! What great mom! She has a very young child and still plans to rehearse hours a day for weeks? How fantastic!

Between her and Audrina it’s hard to choose which one I want gone first. Let’s hope they leave one right after the other.
