Dancing with the Dictators
By Patrick Poole

To take a break from watching election returns Tuesday evening, I settled back to enjoy ninety minutes of non-political prime time viewing (mercifully sans political ads) by turning on ABC’s hit show, “Dancing with the Stars.” Imagine my surprise that in between Mario Lopez’s tango, Emmitt Smith’s cha-cha and Joey Lawrence’s rhumba, program host Tom Bergeron directed viewer’s attention to a special guest in the studio audience – Kenneth Kaunda, the former Stalinist president of Zambia.
After recovering from the initial shock at ABC’s promotion of the deposed brutal dictator (of course, ABC never bothered to mention his credentials other than identifying him as the former President of Zambia), I did some digging as to why a major television network would be fêting the well-fed, grinning Marxist on one of their highest rated programs. I was surprised to learn that in addition to Kaunda’s many accomplishments, such as his record as one of Africa’s longest serving autocrats, responsible for cratering Zambia’s economy, imposing one-party rule on his own nation, torturing and murdering innumerable political opponents in the process, and sponsoring murderous Marxist terrorists in neighboring countries, Kaunda is also an avid fan of ballroom dancing. Are any of us really amazed that this made sense to some ABC executive?
