They say, “Don’t Mess with Texas.” But I think these days the more appropriate saying should be, “Don’t Mess with Alaska!” More specifically, it should be, “don’t mess with Bristol Palin” because she will not hesitate before firing right back at ya!
Now, Bristol has aimed her focus on comedian and fellow Dancing with the Stars cast member, Margaret Cho. In a recent note posted on her own blog called “Pistol Whipped,” Cho wrote, “I heard from someone who really should know (really should seriously know the dirt really really) that the only reason Bristol was on the show was because Sarah Palin forced her to do it.”
“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….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.”
So, what does Cho think of Bristol’s letter? Here is what Cho sent in response via Twitter:
Margaret who? Never heard of her before the show. Great response from u. Loved Mark’s post recently. I think u really made a great impression on him. Bristol, u r a beautiful young lady, more beautiful than most of the female contestants both current and past. U have a beautiful smile and your personality caps it off.
