America Chooses "Dancing With the Stars"

by David Hancock


American voters circled their wagons around their own and sent a Frenchman packing on "Dancing With The Stars: All-Stars" Tuesday.  They also reelected Barack Obama. 
Barack Obama is voted back into the Oval Office; GOP challenger Mitt Romney
 and Kirstie Alley are sent packing by the American public.  

With the elimination of points laggard Kirstie Alley all but assured, the big question on double-elimination night was who the second unlucky contestant would be to fall short of making the semifinals.  Also, did the electorate think Mitt Romney was a giant douche bag? 
Genial Gilles Marini, the suave French actor who spoke softly but carried a big six-pack, was the first big gun to go as the all-star edition of the show whittles itself down to the final few. It's a big loss of a performer who combined skill, sex appeal and real artistry.  Florida is still counting its presidential ballots, p.s. and by the way.  

As part of the hijinks, the stars also assigned each other weird dances to perform next week to cryptic titles yet to be explained. Here's the zany lineup for next week:


  • "Surfer" Flamenco -- Kelly Monaco
  • "Caveman" Hustle -- Melissa Rycroft
  • "Espionage" Lindy Hop -- Emmitt Smith
  • "Big Top" Jazz -- Apolo Ohno
  • "Knight Rider" Banghra -- Shawn Johnson
