Allegedly set off by Bristol Palin’s appearance on “Dancing with the Stars,” a rural Black Earth man kept police at bay outside his home for 15 hours Monday and Tuesday before he surrendered to police.

Steven N. Cowan, 66, railed at the television as the daughter of former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin appeared on the ABC program, his wife told police Monday after she fled from the town of Vermont house, according to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court.

Cowan had also been under stress because of a financial situation and was receiving care for a mental health problem, the complaint states. Cowan’s wife, Janice, told police that her husband had been drinking, but she did not think he was intoxicated.

The complaint charged Cowan with second-degree reckless endangerment.
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.

My wife watches that show. She said Bristol did so well that she tried to vote for her but the lines stayed busy.

If the DUmmies are going to get that upset, I'll pay the phone bill and not complain.... :-)

At this point, you probably know that Bristol Palin has moved to the finals on Dancing with the Stars. You also might know that some don’t believe she deserves it and aren’t happy about it. What you probably don’t know, is that one of those people got so angry he shot his TV with a shotgun and then had a 15 hour standoff with the police. If Bristol Palin doing well on dancing show can make the guy this angry, lets hope he never tries to watch the news.

I'd say the obligatory "What's his DU name?" but I'm not sure you're allowed to own a shotgun & be a member of the DUmp.

Thundley, I just searched for it--are you sure it was already posted? Can't find it. Did you mean that other, more general discussion of Palin on DWTS I started?

Keep an eye out for Levi Johnston on next season's show.  Of course he'll get voted off the first week, but I wouldn't put it past ABC (what channel is this show on?).

Has anyone spotted an 'I need a new TV' fundraiser at the DUmp?

Best not to beg at the DUmp during a quarterly fundraiser.  That might piss $kimmer off.

I really can't decide what I want to happen here--I honestly do think Jeniffer Grey deserves it, she's been the smoothest dancer this whole season...and she stopped the blubbering 2 weeks ago, except for the occasionaly joyful/maudlin tearing-up...but the prospect of seeing so many lib heads explode...oh man...


Well, I will keep voting for her (Bristol), but after all it's unlikely that she'll win. The judges get a final judging on the second night of the final WITHOUT a counterbalancing audience vote. It's just amazing that we were all able to keep her in to the final.

I also thought it was the judges who made the final say so it would be nice to see her take the mirror ball home.

NOVEMBER 17--Like most Americans, Steven Cowan has been perplexed by Bristol Palin’s curious ability to keep advancing in TV’s "Dancing with the Stars" competition.

However, unlike other viewers, Cowan, 66, allegedly became so enraged by Palin’s success that he actually fired a shotgun round into his television, triggering a 15-hour standoff with Wisconsin cops.

According to a criminal complaint, Cowan’s wife called police Monday evening to report that her husband had blasted the TV and was threatening to kill himself. Cowan, who had been drinking, became angry while watching Palin, 20, perform on the ABC program....more

I'm afraid to look, is he a hero at DU yet?

This is interesting; I never really understood how this (the scoring) works. It explains a lot:
