BUSH-GORE LAWYERS POISED TO ENTER 'DANCING WITH THE STARS' VOTING CONTROVERSY
"If they declare Bristol Palin the winner, it's on like Donkey Kong," David Boies says
HOLLYWOOD - Teams of lawyers, all veterans of the 2000 Florida recount battle, are ready to "take whatever action is necessary" when a winner of 'Dancing with the Stars' is announced Tuesday night.
Vote manipulation and even fraud started to be discussed when the daughter of Sarah Palin continued to move forward every week, despite low scores and an obvious lack of talent. Some of even gone so far to suggest a Tea Party conspiracy.
Kimberly Fishman of northern Californian is among those supporting the conspiracy theory. "It's all politics," Fishman complained, who describes herself as a Jennifer Grey supporter and "liberal" on dancing. "I didn't bother to vote, but I am bitter about this."
Others claimed that voting procedures were confusing. "Somehow I ended up voting for Pat Buchanan," said Miriam Fleischbaum, an elderly Jewish woman from Miami. "We should be allowed to re-vote."
Former Senator Alan Simpson, taking a break from trying to save the nation from its massive deficit, has little use for the controversy. "This is all hysterical babble," Simpson says. "It's just a TV show."
