Ironically, Bristol’s partner Mark Ballas chose the tongue-in-cheek classic "Mama Told Me Not To Come" for Bristol Palin’s first dance of the season. Her maiden Cha Cha voyage was done without the lead Pink Grizzly mama Bear Sarah Palin, who had announced earlier in the week that she would be there to support Bristol. No doubt a more lucrative fund raiser presented itself.
Bristol did extremely well for a first time dancer, an accomplishment which may well give her confidence in her often bumpy life as the daughter of the Tea Party ‘rock star.’
