Why would Sarah Palin let her daughter go on 'Dancing with the Stars'?

I'm sorry, the family is trash. Yes, Americans love themselves a regular guy. But there's a difference between the redneck you like to drink with, and the family you want in the White House. This isn't just a sign of Bristol Palin's ongoing weirdness (not to mention, remember the whole "Leave Bristol Alone" thing - gee, guess the Palins got over that one fast), it's a sign that Sarah Palin is out for one thing, the money and the fame. The entire extended family is one big train wreck of a Playboy spread. I still can't understand why Republicans are always so willing to put trash on such a pedestal.
