Curious George said...: All I can think of is that at one point they both had a pussy.; 8/30/11, 8:17 AM
Quaestor said...: I'm willing to bet Nancy Grace still has a pussy.; 8/30/11, 8:26 AM
traditionalguy said...: They are from the extremes: Chaz is a sexual rebel, while Nancy Grace is a legalist that wants all rebels convicted of a crime, preferably a sex motivated crime.

Grace will probably find a rule that Chaz has violated and have her tossed out of the competition.; 8/30/11, 8:26 AM
Scott M said...: What do they have in common? Oh, I don't know...panem et circenses maybe?; 8/30/11, 8:35 AM
Curious George said...: Shouldn't this be called "Dancing with the Freaks, Has-beens, and Never-weres"; 8/30/11, 8:36 AM
Quaestor said...: Nancy Grace is hottish. A bit too haughty and prosecutorial for my tastes. A demure reticence, even if a mere put-on, I find provides a welcome balance to the career-driven woman. Ms. Grace is just too flinty to pique my interest.

Chaz Bono looks just like what she is: a roly-poly woman with a mannish haircut. So she's got an artificial dick grafted right to her crotch, and her boobs have been deflated, it makes no difference. An elaborate disguise is still just that.; 8/30/11, 8:36 AM
Scott M said...: Who are these people?

Willing gladiators in the games to distract an ailing culture so decadent that it believes it putting arms in a blanket is necessary because it's just so damned hard to stay cozy AND use a remote.; 8/30/11, 8:44 AM

Shouldn't this be called "Dancing with the Freaks,

heh-

I was going to write that initially-

MadisonMan said...: If they're going to rip on Nancy Grace, maybe I'll tune in.; 8/30/11, 9:01 AM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: American pop culture has official descended into the pre-collapse mode of the Roman Empire. Freak shows and intentionally cruel bread and circus extravaganzas to distract the peons from the imminent destruction.

We are so screwed.; 8/30/11, 9:18 AM
Carol_Herman said...: Isn't Chaz Sonny & Cher's daughter who became a man? Isn't he fat? Will Cher show up the way Sarah did for Bristol?

Now, how is Law & Order going to handle next season? Especially if Nancy Grace is limiting herself to "just dancing?"

Who is gonna play the maid?; 8/30/11, 9:25 AM
Greybeard said...: Will Chaz be paired up with a man or a woman?; 8/30/11, 9:27 AM
CJinPA said...: "Hey, let's watch that Dancing Stars show."

'But I don't have an interest in any of those people.'

"What if...they're dancing??"

'Oh, I'm in!'; 8/30/11, 9:28 AM
Known Unknown said...: As for what those two have in common, I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. Or poll. Or pol. Are there any ten foot tall pols? Yao Ming? Anyone?

Sixty, here's a seven and a half foot Pole; 8/30/11, 9:31 AM
traditionalguy said...: This could be interesting. Dancing is a social moment connecting two individuals at an intimate level.

Dancing with a dominant male partner who leads her wherever he wants her to go could bring out a repressed fetishist in Nancy Grace. These Macon, Ga women are awaiting such a fate.

As for Chaz, she was only six when her mother divorced her daddy to marry a Macon, Ga musician. Will Chaz beat the Nancy Grace woman from Macon, Ga to get her revenge?

But will feisty Nancy start an argument with her partner during the dance if she thinks he is doing it wrong??; 8/30/11, 9:45 AM
ndspinelli said...: I don't watch any of these "reality" theatrics. However, if the show was Dancing on Nancy Grace's Grave, I might just tune in.; 8/30/11, 9:49 AM
ndspinelli said...: Or..if there were a reality show Boxing Carol Herman I would be a contestant. However, I would be standing in a long, motherfucking line!; 8/30/11, 9:52 AM
edutcher said...: Chaz used to be Chastity, so that's going to be odd, but Nancy Grace - there's a freak show.

Browndog said...

One hates men, the other hates not being one?

There's no evidence Nancy Grace likes men or women.

My guess is her one true love is the iron maiden in her basement.; 8/30/11, 10:01 AM
Scott M said...: There's no evidence Nancy Grace likes men or women.

Maybe she's a closet Morrissey fan.

WV - redboid "Hey...youz guyz see dat red boid over der?"; 8/30/11, 10:03 AM
KCFleming said...: What could they possibly have in common?

1) Trivial Pursuit questions in 2019.

2) Examples of our Weimar Republic era.

3) Both have testicles, but only one pair is real.; 8/30/11, 10:11 AM

Jerry Rice! Oh my.; 8/30/11, 10:53 AM
SJL said...: This blog is so entertaining, thanks to the commentators!; 8/30/11, 10:53 AM
Pragmatist said...: God, this show has really jumped the whale. It has turned into more of a carnival freak show than a dance contest. Old jocks, Right Wing talking heads, has been actors, never was reality "stars", blue hairs and thought-they-were-dead's, teen (backseat) activists and other assorted tabloid flotsum and jettsum. Someone put it out of its misery.; 8/30/11, 11:22 AM
robinintn said...: Jabba the Hut can dance?; 8/30/11, 11:29 AM
Kev said...: (the other kev)

Not much, unless Chaz has killed someone.; 8/30/11, 11:39 AM
ricpic said...: Chaz Bono and Nancy Grace are both manly men. Everyone knows that.; 8/30/11, 11:50 AM
coketown said...: Chaz Bono came out of the closet then had a sex change. Is he going to come out as gay now, then reverse his sex change to become Chastity again and be back where she started? Because, you know, South Park already did that with Mr. Garrison.; 8/30/11, 11:57 AM
traditionalguy said...: A gracious local boy who made good at QB for UGA and now catches passes for the Steelers won the last Dances With The Stars.

Dancing is exciting on several levels.

It is a great way to make a new female friend because it combines social skills with an intimate presence in a safe place

It is great exercise.

It takes intense cooperation and a good attitude.

It is beauty in action to watch two attractive humans coordinate their movements in a lively way.

If a man can dance well, he will never be without female companionship.

It can be a test that the man or woman is emotionally normal and free of irrational jealousies.

But Baseball is still the best game ever invented, as Trooper points out.; 8/30/11, 11:59 AM

ricpic said...: trad guy goes over to the Carol Herman Side.; 8/30/11, 12:15 PM
ricpic said...: Try saying pre-Peloponnesian five times. Fast.

I dare yuh.; 8/30/11, 12:17 PM
traditionalguy said...: ricpic...Carol has gotten into my personality like the old Steve Martin Comedy could always do.

I promise to takea 12 step program to break her hold.

But you remain my favorite witty commenter to read. Are you related to Steve Martin?; 8/30/11, 12:26 PM

Hey...who put a Punic hair on my diet Coke?; 8/30/11, 12:28 PM
ricpic said...: trad guy - I sorta thought I put you out when I criticized something you posted. Can't even remember what it was at this point. Glad it weren't so. Steve Martin? What happened to him after the arrow through the head days?; 8/30/11, 12:35 PM
Crunchy Frog said...: ricpic: Steve Martin now has an act where he sings and plays the banjo. No comedy.

No joke.

traditionalguy: keywords - two beautiful people. Human freakshows need not apply.

Tho Nancy Grace is kinda sneaky-hot, up until the point where she opens her mouth and words pour out. She should stick to putting things in.; 8/30/11, 1:09 PM
Trooper York said...: I happened to meet once of the Dancers from Dancing with the Stars when they filmed an episode of What Not to Wear.

Let's just say she had a real sense of entitlement. We wanted to say "Hey Baby you are Dancing WITH a Star...you ain't a Star!"

But it wasn't worth it.; 8/30/11, 1:22 PM
traditionalguy said...: Crunchy Frog...LOL.

Beauty used to mean outer beauty of youth to me, but as I went past age 60 I found myself growing more interested in a person's child like inner grace and goodness with a smart mind. (See, Althouse, Ann.)

Only selfishness annoys me, as Trooper pointed out above.

Silver hair now looks beautiful to me on the right woman.; 8/30/11, 1:58 PM

William said...: I've never watched an entire show, but I've seen the snippets. The women wear hot dresses. That's something....There's an undercurrent of dadaism to the choices. They are not so much catering to the lowest common denominator as telling us who the lowest common denominator is. They aim low. I don't see how they can possibly burrow under these choices next season. Maybe they can work out a parole thing for Bernie Madoff or Charley Manson. I bet they're both very good dancers.; 8/30/11, 11:06 PM
