A rural Dane County town supervisor believes Bristol Palin should not be on "Dancing With The Stars."
He demanded his wife get his pistols to emphasize his point.
The result: A 15-hour standoff Monday and Tuesday involving hostage negotiators, a dog team and other law enforcement authorities on one side and the Town of Vermont man on the other.
The only casualty: The man's television.
Dane County prosecutors have charged Steven N. Cowan with second-degree reckless endangerment in the incident that made his wife worry he would shoot her, according to a criminal complaint.
Cowan, 67, and his wife were in their living room Monday night, watching the dance competition program that features the daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin as a competitor this season.
As Bristol Palin danced on the screen, Cowan raged.
"The (expletive) politics," he yelled, according to the complaint. Cowan, a Town of Vermont supervisor, was upset that a political figure's daughter was on the show when he didn't consider her a good dancer, his wife told authorities.
Cowan went to his bedroom and came back about 20 minutes later, demanding that his wife find his pistols. Cowan's daughter had taken two handguns for safety reasons, according to the complaint.
Cowan tracked down a single-shot shotgun in the house, he "slapped" shells down onto a TV tray, loaded a round and took out the TV, the complaint says. more
Sorry for the long quote but I couldn't find a nice place to end it because it's gold. This man was so outraged he took his guns and shot up his TV...amazing. And the funny thing is that it has to deal with the Palins too.
I've been mad at a TV before, game 7 vs the Lakers, last weeks Steelers/ Pats game, playing Call of Duty however, never once have I thought to break the TV. Well... actually that's a lie, my girlfriend made me watch Glee and that was pretty awful. I don't get how anyone could like that show.
