On delusions, priorities and DWTS

  While it has been posited that the Left is pretty delusional at times (Michelle O knows how to dress, Obama is smart, so smart you're stupid if you don't realize it, we need to partner with the TSA), some extreme examples are emerging that are somewhat, well, disturbing.
  A week or so ago, some doofus shot his tv up because he was really mad that Bristol Palin kept winning in Dancing With The Stars. (In an act of extreme mercy, Sarah Palin offered to buy him a new one.) So this 67 year old guy gets so involved in the show that he shoots the tv and then aims the gun at his wife. They claim he's bipolar.
  Then the hysteria went further and broke out on the Left that it was unfair, I tell ya, UNFAIR that the terrible Bristol should be winning this much. The hysteria peaked last night when the ABC website crashed; even the old army and marine guys had a crusade that we all should vote for Bristol, not because we 
1) cared about the show   
2) had seen the show  
3) thought Bristol was really good   
4) thought Bristol should win   
5) loved Sarah Palin but 
RATHER because we'd like to watch the Left's heads explode (in a figurative, rather than literal, way. 
  (Please. Don't exaggerate, as usual.)
  So everyone's voting like crazy. Hillbuzz, those priceless true hearts, had a thread going that everyone was excoriating. Why? Because the thread encouraged everyone to vote for Bristol.
  So today, the RELIGION EDITOR (Sally Quinn, who never met a Washington power broker party she didn't like) claims that it is unholy that Bristol should have gotten as far as she has. 
  Quinn's in hysterics. She's crying. (No, really. And she actually admits that her favorite story about DWTS is this stupid guy who shot up his tv. ) 
  She's claiming people cheated, people who claim to be patriotic CHRISTIANS... and HOW COULD THEY CHEAT? 
  Read this at WaPo:

The final straw was when Brandy - a fabulous dancer -- was eliminated last week.....We were having a dinner party and I made my guests leave the table to watch the final half of DWTS. Norman Lear was with us. Norman is not a DWTS follower but got caught up in the moment too. As the music started and I waited breathlessly to see Bristol be told she was out. I was squeezing Norman's hand when Brandy, not Bristol, was sent home. I couldn't believe it. Neither could the judges and studio audience. Derek  and Jennifer's mouths dropped open. Boos could be heard.

It seemed Bristol and her partner were just as surprised. Brandy cried. I have to confess I teared up. It just didn't seem right.

 Read the whole thing. It's judgmental. It's hysterical. It's irrational. It's, well, it's head exploding. (Heh. Sorry.)
  This is unholy?
  This is what you determine is unholy? 
  With all the evil in the world you determine THIS is unholy?
  Hey, get a grip, old Sally.
  Have you never watched one of these shows? I confess we caught some of American Idol last year. 
  Everybody knew that Adam Lambert was the better performer. He was fabulous. His vocal range was marvelous, spectacular, amazing.
  That other guy, the Kris guy, wasn't a Las Vegas type performer the way Lambert is. 
  But, um, the problem was that lots of people didn't actually like Adam Lambert.
  And a lot of people really liked the Kris guy.
  That's the way these shows work.
  It isn't cheating if the show arranges that you can fake email addresses.
  It isn't cheating if you can vote 5 times.
  It isn't cheating if you actually like the person you're voting for, even if you think she can't dance.
  Quinn herself admitted she has SIX phones in the house and she voted on all of them.
  But she viewed as cheating the fact that the show allows people to vote as often as they please and that people, those tea party folks, go ahead and do it. 
  Um. Follow the rules. Go by the guidelines. Do what it takes (according to the guidelines) to win. 
  Because tea partiers have morals, are patriotic, follow the rules, they shouldn't employ the traditional methods of the rest of the public.
  Hm.
  This reminds me of another incident.
  Here's this family. They want the deals, the Black Friday deals. The tvs. The stereos. So nine days before the sale, they decided to camp out in front of Best Buy. Just wait.
  For what? For a tv? For a stereo?
  This is delusional. This is a waste. This is a waste of energy. 
  I want to ask. What's wrong with you, that you can't deal with these small things? What's wrong with you, that you can't be realistic about the world and its games? What's wrong with you that you want the deal so much that you'd sacrifice precious moments of your life for...stuff? 
  Meaningless...stuff.
  What's wrong with you, that you have standards for one group of people and not for another. 
  What's...wrong....with....you....
