A SWAT team posted up outside a home in Wisconsin yesterday -- after a shotgun toting 67-year-old man blasted his TV because he was so enraged with Bristol Palin's performance on "Dancing with the Stars."
Local authorities claim Steven Cowan (left) told officers that he felt Palin was not a good dancer and that she was only on the show because of her famous mother.
Officials say Cowan was so pissed after Monday's show -- that he fired at his television set and then aimed the gun at his wife ... though she managed to escape the house.
The SWAT team surrounded the home -- but negotiators were able to talk Cowan into surrendering early Tuesday morning. Authorities claim Cowan suffers from bipolar disorder.
Cowan was charged with 2nd degree reckless endangerment and could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

boy, these deranged liberals really hate the palins... wow.. sick liberal guy there.
I completely understand. Maybe his wife is a b a g g e r as well? In that case, it's too bad he missed. :/
Who can blame him? Imagine a teen age mom making the finals and a murderer didn't?
Yes, Stacy, all liberals shot their TVs last night. What an insipid comment from an equally insipid person. Perhaps you can create issues between people with brown and blue eyes.
CLEARLY HE DID NOT AIM LOW ENOUGH SHE IS STILL ON THE SHOW!!
REALLY BRANDY GETS KICKED OFF AND THIS NO TALENT, NON- DANCING POLITICAL GROUPIE IS STILL ON THE SHOW!!! REALLY!!
Best story I've heard all year (except for pointing the gun at his wife). I like Bristol but there's no way she should be in the finals. She's like a walrus floating around the dance floor. Audrina, Kurt and even Florence Henderson were much better. Damn, where's Kanye West when you need him?
Yeah, yeah...another bipolar disorder defense. Yes, we all know that Bristol is there because of her mother...duh...but people just gotta ACCEPT that DWTS is NOT a dance competition...it's a variety show/quasi-competition. The popularity contest aspect is what makes it the show it is. So, let's all stop shooting our tv sets and whipping up conspiracy theories!!!
