But all of a sudden the NY Daily News has a story that Bristol called her dancing partner some names. And then there is the rumor that somehow Bristol or her mom manipulated the Tea Party to get them to vote for her.
So is this an important story? Even with the twists - probably designed to get everyone to look in for the final event - it is just so much hype. I understand that many in the liberal side of the aisle are absolutely paranoid about Bristol's mom. Get over it. The chances of her ever being president about tiny - if not non-existent. Sarah's gift is to annoy the left - just like Ariana Huffington is to annoy the right. Both are relatively attractive and have a gift of the gab. But would the American people choose either to run their government? Not a chance.
I am one who a) flies a lot and b) thinks one of the biggest mistakes of the W. Administration was agreeing to move all those security personnel into federal jobs. But even with that why does anybody care. I'm reasonably convinced that the full body scan is not necessary to figure out who the terrorists are. But once you agree to having the government do this job you also implicitly agree to having bureaucrats make decisions which may or may not include anything relating to how to achieve the results we all want (safe air travel).
For me the bottom line is not whether Bristol makes it through the finals of Dancing with the Stars or whether the TSA has an outrageous new procedure to annoy air travelers. When you think about what we should do about the deficit or how we should organize our health care system or how this country should respond to Islamic fanatics - these stories deserve to be put into the dustbin of history even before they are written.

Just a note; the picture you have posted is of Maks Whatsis, who is NOT Bristols partner. And how come we don't have the radio frequency body scanners I read about in the paper this morning?
I corrected the picture. Shows how much of a fan of DWTS I am!
