Despite her HORRIBLE dancing Gay "Comic" Cho apparently blames Bristol for making her lose DWTS. Ughh NO CHO your awful dancing and dressing like a GAY Parade Float made you lose...In addition to probably having no one VOTE for you!

I guess to her being Gay is the TRUMP CARD that should have won her the competition? So Bristol made a joke....The Calls of "Homophobia" are already being made. Libs can sure dish out the Insults but cant even take a joke without being offended....

[mockingbyrd]

How is it homophobic? Not that homophobic’s even the right word, but how is it offensive in any way, shape or form?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Liberals love smearing people, calling Conservatives every nasty name in the book, but when they get a little joke directed at them, they can’t take it. What a bunch of hypocrites

[nascarnation]

what a great zinger
is Mom writing her stuff?
the Palins are unequaled when it comes to making liberals heads explode, LOL

[I see my hands]

"Libs can sure dish out the Insults but cant even take a joke without being offended"

Even worse is the right hiding behind the claim of a joke as if it weren't the truth.

[DemforBush]

I thought the zinger at the end was hilarious, though naturally the poll is running 3-to-1 than Bristol’s remarks were “homophobic.”

Homophobic apparently defined as “you have to agree with everything we say 100% and without question or we’ll lump you in with pedophiles, klansmen, and people who actually and genuinely do want to hurt gay people, kind of like a lot of fundamentalist Muslims - except we’re way too afraid to criticize those folks.”

[FrankR]

Bristol didn't tell a joke, she was just reading one of Margaret's tattoos.

The only thing Cho does worse than dancing, is comedy.

I can't imagine anything Bristol could have done to make Cho any worse than she already was/is.

[GeronL]

lol.

Everyone knows I have been critical of Bristol but I fail to see the problem with this.

That is actually kind of funny.

[r9etb]

Somebody needs to tape Bristol Palin’s fingers shut. This is petty high school freshman stuff. She’s not helping herself or her mother.

CHA-CHA-CHA to CHO-CHO-CHO--HERE'S A HINT: THREE DOG NIGHT

I met so many interesting people on Dancing With The Stars. It was an incredible experience that I will cherish the rest of my life. I have explained my own motivations for accepting the invitation to dance, which included the simple fact that I was ready to get out of my comfort zone and try something new and challenging. I thought dancing would also be a great way to exercise--and it was. I thought it would boost my confidence--and it did. Notably absent from this calculus were political considerations. You want to talk politics, talk to my mom. You want to talk rumba, waltz and the beautiful Spanish paso doble, I'm your girl (but if you want to talk to the expert, call Mark).

So with this in mind I was somewhat taken aback to read about me in a blog by my friend and fellow contestant, Margaret Cho. In a post she called "Pistol Whipped" she wrote that "the only reason Bristol was on the show was because Sarah Palin forced her to do it. Sarah supposedly blames Bristol harshly and openly . . . for not winning the election,and so she told Bristol she "owed" it to her to do DWTS . . . ." Let me shamelessly steal from Saturday Night Live: "Really, Margaret? Really?"

I will give my friend credit for creativity, and extra points for getting so many "facts" wrong in so few sentences. Let me be blunt: my mom did not "force" me to go on DWTS. She did not ask me either. The show approached me. I thought about it. I made the decision. After first worrying for me in terms of being exposed to those who hate us for what we believe in, both my mom and my dad became my number one supporters. Anyone who watched the show could tell I performed better, and I felt better about myself, when they were in the audience. I wanted to make them both proud, but politics had nothing to do with it. Loving my parents had everything to do with it.

It saddens me that people would think that my mom would "blame" me for anything that occurred in the 2008 election--much less "harshly" and "openly." I think that canard (there, I said it again), has been floating around since then also. I will set the record straight, though my mom already did in her bestselling book "Going Rogue"; there were a number of reasons President Obama won in 2008, but the primary reason was that the economy was starting to falter and the majority of voters thought Obama could do a better job than my mom and John McCain. It turns out, two years later, the majority of voters were wrong, but we can talk about that another time. The point is, I seriously doubt anyone who considers herself a student of American politics truly believes I impacted even one vote in that election.

There you have it. Why do I want to set the record straight? Because it is this type of hurtful and false narrative that people promote to make my mom look bad. For 20 years my mom had my back--and for the rest of my life I will have hers.

To my friend Margaret Cho, if you ever have a question, call me girlfriend. Don't ever rely on "sources" who claim to know me or my family. You will be taken every time. And we need to talk. You say you "don't agree with the family's politics at all" but I say, if you understood that commonsense conservative values supports the right of individuals like you, like all of us, to live our lives with less government interference and more independence, you would embrace us faster than KD Lang at an Indigo Girls concert.

P.S. If you want to baby-sit Tripp, I could use a night off.

~Bristol Palin~

Bristol the Pistol !!!

[Secret Agent Man]

Good one. We would have also accepted “would embrace us faster than KD Lang at a ‘Lilith Fair’ festival.”

[ari-freedom]

Cho? ughhh
And now for something completely different:

[swatbuznik]

Hahaha! And if Leno had made the joke, nobody would have batted an eye.

[jimbo123]

Bristol is pretty damn funny.

[RichInOC]

It’s not mean, it’s to the point, and I at least thought it was funny. And I guarantee you Margaret got it.

[IoCaster]

Some of you folks would be well advised to lighten up. I personally applaud Bristol for confronting these chumps. It serves no good purpose to just sit back and pretend to occupy the high ground when it doesn’t even exist in our modern society and culture. The best defense is a pointed and well executed offense in the all encompassing culture war. There’s nothing these socialist scum like more than taking cheap potshots with the firm belief that they’ll never have to respond to or defend their idiotic utterances. Give them hell and never back down. Don’t retreat, just reload. Go Palin Clan!

[Liberty Valance]

LOL! Bristol got a zinger in on a supposed comic. I'm sure Cho laughed. ;o)

[Aria]

I think Margaret was saying that Sarah blames Bristol for losing the 2008 election, not that Margaret blames Bristol for being voted off DWTS.

Maybe I’m wrong but that’s what it looked like to me.

[PoloSec]

I would enjoy the joke more if I knew who or what; is KD Lang and Indigo Girls.

[tumblindice]

This drunk staggers into a lesbian bar, and it was a rough one—think `Rosie O’Donnell’ types with butch haircuts, trucker wallets on chains, etc.
Margaret Cho raises her arm to get the bartender’s attention and she’s wearing a flannel shirt with cut-off sleeves.
She buys drinks for her table of dykes, and the drunk is taking it all in—his head weaving, bobbing up-and-down.

This goes on for the rest of the evening, Cho buying more drinks ... finally the drunk stands up and says,
“I want to buy a drink for that ballerina!”
The bartender was a rough butch and she demands,
“Whaddya talkin’ about buddy? There’s no ballerinas here.”

He’s bellowing by this time, “Huh! That broad over there (hic) has gotta be a ballerina.
Only a ballerina could—urp—raise her leg that high!”

[G Larry]

GOOD!
It’s about time somebody let the “proud” know they’re not a protected class.
