Bristol Palin reportedly joining 'Dancing With the Stars'

Forget the pitbull with lipstick! It looks like her pup is about to learn some new tricks.

E! Online reported Thursday that Sarah Palin’s 19-year-old daughter, Bristol Palin, will compete in the 11th season of “Dancing With the Stars.”

It’s all rumors at this point. The full lineup will be revealed Monday on ABC during, uh, “Bachelor Pad.”

If true, it will mark Palin's second stint with ABC. She guest-starred last month on ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.” 

How long before Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, who we confirmed would be fist-pumping (or maybe hip-shaking?) this season, makes the move on Bristol?

I'm a moderate, and wondering why Bristol Palin or "the Situation" qualify as "stars" for this program. If the show was renamed "Night of the Living Attention Whores," then I could see the appropriateness of the casting. Oh, and for the "righty" Tom: Bristol, by virtue of her NOT allowing idiotic, hypocritical, self-promoting blather to seep from her mouth like sewer gas, is already 100 times the person that her mother could ever hope to be.

The fact that Bristol Palin has no known dancing talent doesn't necessarily mean she'll crater. Also, the lack of any known dancing talent hasn't kept Buzz Alrin or Kate G off the show. The reason why politics has seeped into this discussion is the only reason she was even considered is that she is a newsmaker (note that I did not state newsworthy) because of her mother. Why did I post here if I don't watch the show? Sinple, I knew the lefties would be spewing their hatred at a 19 year old who is no threat to them.

By the way Brett, I am not a "righty", nor a Republican. I simply get incredible joy out of watching extreme left wing individuals go absolutely insane in their response to Sarah Palin. While she is indeed a political force to be reckoned with, I just don't see the appeal, other than the fact that she is not from the extreme left, not a democrat, not a Washington insider, and not an Ivy Leaguer. I won't vote her, but she sure provides me with lots of entertainment by provoking the lefties. She actually would have been a more entertaining choice for the show (because she would have figuratively placed her foot in her mouth), though I wouldn't have watched it. The best bill would to have put Bristol and Levy on the SAME cast, though not as partners.

Oh GOOD,...one less show I need to watch!

The winds of change are blowing across this great land. Sorry fellow Southern Californians, but the blue is turning to red everywhere you look.

I think Bristol might be what the Situation calls a "grenade"

So what has Bristol done to become a start other than get knocked up and have a stupid mother?
