According to the complaint, Cowan and his wife were watching “Dancing with the Stars” when Cowan jumped up and swore as Bristol Palin appeared, saying something about “the (expletive) politics.” Cowan was upset that a political figure’s daughter was on the show when he didn’t think she was a good dancer, the complaint states.
Cowan went upstairs for about 20 minutes and returned, demanding his pistols, which had been taken by his daughter about a month ago for safety reasons. He was carrying a single-shot shotgun, which he loaded and fired into the television.
Cowan continued to yell, demanding his pistols. He re-loaded the shotgun and pointed it toward his wife. She left the house and drove to Black Earth, where she called 911. She told police she was afraid for her safety.
This is the kind of angry response that the Palins have been inspiring for over two years now.
However I do believe this is the first time that anybody became so incensed that they assassinated one of their appliances.
I wonder how many other household electronics will meet an untimely demise before Bristol is finally removed from the show?
She looks like a cross-dressing clown with a giant head, walking down the street. Good God.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Thanks for that laugh, Gryphen!! It's a good start to my morning. You are so funny. Poor TV gets a dirt nap because of Palin rage. What's to follow?
ReplyDeleteSomehow I think if Sarah Palin, or any of the Palins, heard this story, they would take great delight in it. They LIVE for the controversy they can stir up.
ReplyDeleteI cried from laughing...
ReplyDeleteAdmitted, the man has mental issues, but at least he killed his TV, not a person. : )
I've had the same insane thoughts every time Twitler is mentioned on TV...
OK I don't watch DWTS or anything else that features a Palin, but this Guy needs to get a life and he seems pretty disturbed to begin with if the family hid the gun on previous occasions. Personally i think the show needs to review how the voting system works, it is ripe for shenanigans.
ReplyDeleteNot surprised to see that it was Maksim that was voted out last night. Wasn't he the one Bristol targeted yesterday with the He doesn't like me interview? Told a friend he had a target on his back. Interview today which dancer will it be. Have to have a message for the puppets. Kind of scary when you think about it. What if they just outright asked these people to kill someone. I think the pbots would do it.
ReplyDeleteSad the TV had to take the hit. Turn it off and quit watching America. If it goes off the air,Oh well just another thing the Palins have crapped on.
LOOK! It's her mother's light blue windbreaker and a scarf! The Palin Pregnancy Apparel! Some things never change.... clothes.
ReplyDeleteBristol looks like a female impersonator in that photo. Reminds me of the man who married Liza Minelli. I tuned in to the very end of "DWTS" to see what happened. After a perfect dance the night before, Brandy was eliminated!!She had put her heart and soul into this show, danced her heart out. What a farce. I will never watch this show again.
ReplyDeleteThere should be a caption under this photo "Do all these chins make me look FAT??"
ReplyDeleteYup, Sarah Palin had me crying last night when I read what she wrote in her new book about American Idol and talentless contestants:
ReplyDelete"Chalk some of them up as victims of the cult of self-esteem. No one they have encountered in their lives - from their parents to their teachers to their president - wanted them to feel bad by hearing the truth. So they grew up convinced that they could become big pop stars like Michael Jackson. On American Idol, of course, these self-esteem-enhanced but talent deprived performers eventually learn the truth. After they've embarrassed themselves for the benefit of the producers, they are told in no uncertain terms that they, in fact, can't sing, regardless of what they have been told by others. But in the wider world, these kind of instances of hard-truth-telling are increasingly rare. Instead of eventually confronting the limits of their inflated egos when it comes to paying the rent and putting food on the table, Americans are increasingly told not to worry about it. Someone else will provide for them.
(...) Instead, a growing chorus of voices is trying to convince our kids that hard work isn't necessary any more, that they are entitled to a lengthening list of benefits paid for by others, and that they don't have to accept the consequences of their actions when the consequences are bad."
---------
How and when will this end?
This reminds me of the bartender in lower Manhattan who threw a glass at the window when Obama was giving his inauguration speech. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Gryphen. I'm not so sure about the pointing the shotgun at his wife...but the rest was classic. Can't....stop...laughing!
ReplyDeleteAlma
Do you think she will be eliminated. If I have to hear one more time about her having a baby and she's not there because of her mother, I am going to puke. Without Quitter Granny, she would be working at Costco still trying to get her GED.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, all the baby and belly talk aside, and no snark or sarcasm: I just cannot fathom why she dresses like she is cleaning her house or washing her car. She is dressed in rags compared to the well dressed attractive women who accompany her. She is going out to eat and she knows the paps will be there taking her picture! Seriously, in spite of the condition of her belly why doesn't she want to dress smartly, stylishly, and you know just appear well dressed.
ReplyDeleteTime for someone (like you) to get rid of her before she does more damage! What are you waiting for??
ReplyDeleteIf you watch the video on x17online.com from the same time, one of the papps asks what Bristol will do if she wins DWTS. She says "I'm taking Tripp to Disneyland". When she starts to get on the elevator, one of them calls out "I hope your baby likes Disneyland" and the others laugh and one says "Oh good one". They KNOW she's preggo. Some of those people have been following her every day and they KNOW. Why does no one ask her? Why isn't this in the tabloids?
ReplyDeleteThis might be the first documented case of weight gain resulting from a dancing competition.
ReplyDeleteEven for the snark factor, I am very sorry for this man's family. His daughter had the good sense to hide the pistols but his poor wife was afraid for her safety.
ReplyDeleteThis is the America that the Palin's typically appeal to, second amendment folk; however, his visceral reaction to Bristol's longevity (despite the talent necessary to make her a player) is a surprise. You'd think he'd be a Palin supporter.
Not certain posting this does our side any favors. We appear very crazy! The Palinbots will eat this up!
ReplyDeleteHow is Bristol's aged cousin / auntie more trim and fashion conscious than a 20 y/o? Who, according to Willow is still HOT? Of course, the look is too young for that raisened bag of bones.
ReplyDeleteBristol honey, the genius trick your mom perpetrated to 'hide' her GMILF 'pregnancy' was to let the scarves 'cover' her belly. Not tie it up around her neck which only makes your moon face shine all the more and does nothing to make your jacket look less like you borrowed it from Piper.
I'm all for comfort, but black t-shirts and leggings in L.A. aren't helping diminish the size of your belly and thighs.
Bristol's got a secret, it is more than why she's still on the show.
ReplyDeleteHer next 'joy' and 'blessing' is due in a few months, in time for average single mom Bristol to come out with a tell-all book about her sacrifice for Life. . .again.
I feel his pain.
ReplyDeleteRemember that scene in Tommy Boy, where Chris Farley took David Spade's little business jacket and put it on?
ReplyDeleteSing, "Fat man in little coat, fat man in little coat."
Only, replace "man" with "girl."
Bristol - Believe me, I wouldn't pick on your weight if you'd just come clean with your pregnancy. You are pregnant and sticking it to the public every Monday and Tuesday night of the week!
How can Bristol be so smug and arrogant?
ReplyDeleteShe is a LOSER. No education, no talent.
Sarah... your kids are FUCKED UP.
At some point you have to sit back, take a deep breath, put the shotgun down, and let the universe do its karma thing. The Palins have always climbed up the ladder of "success" by using cheating and lies. That will never change as long as a Palin is standing. Is it "dirty wrong" as Jezebel said? Sure it is. But the world is filled with dirty wrong, and tearing our hair out doesn't make it go away. The Palins have already stolen too much of my time and energy. Until the knee-quaking chickenshits decide that Sarah won't actually have them murdered if they speak up, this spectacle will just continue. I've stopped posting in on Facebook, stopped blogging about it. Stopped making barbie photo shoots killing off Sarah, mostly stopped commenting on blogs (this is my first in a while). I still make the rounds of the Alaska palin blogs, but if I notice myself exhibiting even the slightest tendency to gnash my teeth or wring my hands, I walk away. That trashy excuse for a family is not going to steal my energy like a horde of succubi.
ReplyDeleteHey just a guy exercising his Second Amendment rights.
ReplyDeleteOh, but as long as I'm commenting, I'll throw in something catty. Bristol looks terrible with bright lipstick and double chin. Somebody should put some neutral makeup on that girl. I don't even wear makeup, but I sure know when it is done wrong. Just makes her face look more like a giant moon.
ReplyDeleteMakes us look as loony as the Palin supporters!
ReplyDeletePoor guy, poor TV!
ReplyDeleteFor Palins: be careful what you wish for!
I've worked in the dance biz a long time. Clearly Bristol is undeserving of still being on the show. I feel bad for the other hard-working dancers (do they have a fraud clause in their contract? Do they get more $$ the longer they stay in?) BUT, when I really thought about this, there's part of me that hopes she stay's in to see the proof of her pregnancy and ballooning waistline and face. It will be hard to disappear after winning the show! Any normal person would either have stayed out of the limelight (or lost weight from all the training).
I do feel for her partner though. Despite what he says, can it be worth it to his bulging hernia and likely bad back lugging her around? Does he have a weight limit in his contract so he does not have to injure himself lugging a hugely overweight partner around? It's no accident dancers are thin....their male partners wouldn't last that long due to injuries. Normally, a female dancer works hard to make it easier for her partner and so it all flows effortlessly. Her partner is the only one making all the effort. He should be doubly, triply compensated for that and I hope DWTS is picking up the bills for his hernia surgeries and the the time it will take for him to recover.
I also think it will come back to bite DWTS. I've never seen the show, just the clips online since the BP controversy began. I'm sure BP has lifted their ratings, but at the same time doomed the show. It'll probably be hard to get other stars on the show now
that we all know they have a huge problem in their voting system and I also believe in their judging system.
No wonder this guy went nuts!
OT, but just in case anyone's in doubt about Sarah Palin's intentions to "run," here's an uncritical listing of those who are riding the gravy train. You can be assured they will all jump, profits in hand, at the first instance of the train wreck. Grizma better get a grip on those girls.
ReplyDeleteI love womanwithsardinecan!

That's funny. In Wisconsin, you have to understand, brandy is king. I mean "brandy" the drink. When Wisconsin went to the Rose Bowl, they actually ran out of brandy on the plane.
ReplyDeleteSo it doesn't surprise me this guy would be upset "Brandy" got eliminated. Of course, the fact Bristol stayed probably had something to do with it too.
Instead of saying it makes "us" look bad, i see it another way. Many Americans are feeling so powerless about the demise of our culture/society. And Palin represents the dumb of America holding us back. America is falling behind in every area- education, medical research, manufacturing, technology. People are suffering financially. Then we are seeing absolute ignorant people like Bristol get paid thousands for what??? What has this girl ever accomplished? The Palins are NOT role models for America. There an example of what's wrong!
ReplyDeleteI can see how someone could get so angry watching this and being subjected to PALIN everywhere you turn. Everwhere!!! They represent ALL that is wrong with our country and I'm sick of it too!! Many Americana have done everything"" "right"- graduated high school, college, worked hard, bought a house, had kids etc. Now people are losing their jobs and homes, and we watch a stupid kid like this step in others,( like her mom) and CHEAT to get ahead.
She's not a "star." Why is she on this show!?
If you really want to be furious go read excerpts from Scarahs latest book on other Blog(pG) I was so mad reading more outright lies and bull from Sarah, I wanted to break my TV too. I don't have a gun.
Just imagine this man at home- life sucks for him- and he sees this nonsense. I'm not making excuses for him and he lost it and needs help, but I can understand this anger.
I can't stand the Palins and the BS nonsense her and these other nutjobs are holding America back! They want to return to the 50s not go forward.
America is doomed and will continue to decline if Sarah or anyone like her gets near the WH! And the gall of Palin to actually say Obama wasnt vetted!! What a stupid bitch.
If DWTS made you angry, wait until you see het new book of bullshit.
I hate Palin and her family. They are lying cheating frauds.
God help is if this ignoramus keeps getting her way.
It is infuriating.
I entered this on another post here but think it bears repeating:
ReplyDeleteBP is NOT a single mom. She has a large extended family to help her, can affords nnies and day care, AND her child's father Levi Johston pays child support, and he and his family have sought to be involved with the child.
A single teenage mom that I knew was the victim of sexual abuse. Her father abandoned the family when she was young. She hooked up with a drug-addicted young man, and then had a beautiful child. The relationship crumbled and she found herself alone with and infant. She went to work in a factory and put herself through college while raising her daughter by herself.
She went on to write a book about her experiences as a teen mom (reviewed favorably by the New York Times) and later went back to school to get a PHD. Her daughter grew up to be a beautiful young woman who is educated and married and the mother of 2 children.
I'm sure many other young women have also performed heroically raising children by themselves, with or without the New York Times' accolades. They are content that their children turn out well and do not seek 'credit" or 'sympathy" for loving their children and trying to be good mothers in difficult circumstances.
To the TROLL that has been posting at IM telling us how beautiful the Palins are, and what sweet kids they have, and how they are great wholesome family..
ReplyDeleteFUCK YOU!
OH MY GOD! ! Is she homely! Did she look in the mirror before she went out in public looking like that?
ReplyDeleteObviously not!
Cross-dressing transvestites look BETTER than that!
Anon5:10am the contestants on DWTS were all required to sign a confidentially agreement to NOT talk about B... they want to avoid lawsuits.
ReplyDeleteI am leaning toward wanting B to stay on the show, just to have very public video record of her increasing weight and movements.
If she "wins" the Pbots will have won a battle, but lost the war.. clearly, B is NOT a talented dancer (or even one who is willing to put much effort into learning to walk through her routines) so cheating is the only way she continues to stay in the game.
Glad to see you, WomanWithSardineCans! Yes, I have spent too many hours of my precious life following this vulgar, trashy woman and her dysfunctional family and enablers.
Like you, I sometimes need to walk away, and remind myself that karma is in effect every moment, and all things Palin are working toward a certain outcome.
(P.S. I see B is wearing a jacket and piling a scarf on top of her shirt and leggings, while her companion has just enough material on to cover her breasts, crotch and a few inches of upper thigh.) Meow!!
Sarah: Ya see, Piper, we had a good day. We watched old fatty stay another week and he shot out his TV. We win!
ReplyDelete@4:39 a.m.
ReplyDeleteYou are comparing someone throwing a glass at a window, to some shooting their t.v. with a shotgun? Lame.
Well - the bots got Bristol the Pistol to the finals However, no doubt if Bristol does not win, it will be considered a Left Wing Liberal Hollywood conspiracy.
ReplyDeleteGryphen,
ReplyDeleteThe book excerpt quoted by Forever Anonymous @4:23 REALLY deserves its own post.
Of course, in Bristol's case, the judges are oddly choosing to bolster Bristol's mistaken impression that she can actually dance. Hope whatever they got paid was worth destroying their professional credibility.
Bristol has no idea what a real single mom does.After my divoce 31 years ago,when my DD was 9 months old ,I found loaded everything I owned in a UHaul(including my ancient tiny car!) and drove 1000 miles to my parents home.My dad had a job waiting for me,a building fiberglass bathtubs and pools in a factory.My mom let me stay until I got a paycheck,said she would babysit,but after 2 days I returned home from work to find "it was just too much" and my drug addict sister in law was babysitting.The next day I found an old trailer to live in,and a night job in a 24 hour daycare center where my DD could go for free.I worked 40 hours a week at each job and slept when or if I could.Lived on Rice Krispies and tea,mostly.
ReplyDeleteBristol has no clue.

ReplyDeleteVote For the Worst is campaigning for Bristol.....
In all fairness, Mr. Cowan apparently is bipolar (this information from my aunt who lived a "hop & a skip" from the Cowan's for many years). I would also hazard to guess that he is NOT a Republican, or at least not a Palin fan!
ReplyDeleteIf you were to look up "trailer trash" in an encyclopedia, you would see that picture of Butterball Bristol.
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard and felt terribly guilty for it.
ReplyDeleteI, too, love womanwithsardinecan! Thanks for adding 'succubi' to my vocabulary. And Gawd, yes, the red lipstick is horrible!
Perhaps the poor man was suffering from a new version of PTSD: Palin Traumatic Stress Disorder. I know, because I suffer from it as well. All started in September, 2008: nightmares, flashbacks, disassociation from reality, frequent nausea and full-blown panic attacks when confronted with pictures/videos of the Palin family. There is a cure I've heard, but so far, researchers are holding the cure in secret. Please help us now and end the suffering.

Thank God, it was only a TV, not a person.
ReplyDeleteIt's not fair Bristol gets two identical costumes every week while the the other dancers gets one costume.
ReplyDeleteBristol gets to wear one costume on Monday and then she wears the other identical costume on Tuesday.
The difference between the two costumes is Tuesdays costume is about two dress sizes larger than Mondays costume to compensate for Brisket's buffet stye eating at the Cheesecake Factory.
The Navy paint patterns on their big ships to try to camouflage it and reduce visibility. I think Bristol is trying to camouflage her big gut and giant butt with the scarves and jackets.
ReplyDeleteYou left out the best part of the story. Like Bristol's mom, the TV shooter is bipolar. That has to feel weird. Let's see this guy didn't like something I did. He and mom have the same mental condition. I wonder if Track still has his bullet proof vest.
ReplyDeleteAt least we know it was justifiable homicide.
ReplyDeleteYou have to find the clip of tonight's (17th)- episode of George Lopez. He had a brilliant opening and then one of the judges was a guest and he brought up her weight gain!! It was fucking awesome!!
ReplyDeleteSend that pregnant no dancing behind home. Momma my steal that ball for you but you will never be considered a Ballroom dancer. She is fat thats why she had to get on a chair to get on Mark's shoulder. He was not able to lift her up on his shoulder. NOPE not breaking my back.
ReplyDeleteAs $arah Palin would say, "Don't retreat... RELOAD".
ReplyDeleteWhere is Kanye West when you need him. He should have interrupted the announcers and said "I'm sorry Bristol but Brandy is the better dancers".
ReplyDeleteTake a look @ :50 the camera caught her from the side and there is CLEARLY a baby bump
ReplyDelete
