Hannity mentioned this yesterday. Apparently the cameras focused on Sarah Palin while the boos were going on, but actually the booing was for a dancer whom the audience didn't think got high enough marks.

Fans Booing Palin or Judges?
Was the audience booing Sarah Palin on Dancing with the Stars or not?
During Monday nights performance on Dancing with the Stars dancers Derek Hough and his partner Jennifer Grey were in the process of being interview while they began to hear booing. When the host and dancing asked why there was such a reaction the camera cut to Sarah Palin and host Tom Bergeron. It would seem that we had our answer as to why the crowd was booing.
The following night during the results show co-host Brooke Burke stated that the reason there was booing in the audience was because of Hough’s and Grey’s scores. I find that hard to believe since the pair scored the highest out of all the contenders, receiving eights from all the judges.
Bergeron went on listing the same reason during his appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show Monday evening. To give an answer the controversy the show has even produced unedited footage showing that the crowd was in fact booing the judges.
The footage showed exchanges between themselves and members of the audience. There is also a few screams for “nines” that are heard, which weren’t audible during Monday nights viewing.
I have to admit when I first watched Monday night, I was almost positive they were booing Palin. Both Bergeron, Palin and her youngest daughter had awkward looks on their faces, which showed discomfort, and gave audiences a reason to assume the booing was intended for the previous vice presidential candidate.
I was quite upset Monday, I am by no means a fan of, or support Sarah Palin, but left me feeling bad for Palin’s youngest daughter.
While Dancing with the Stars has answered the questions as to why the fans were booing, I am sure there will still be some who are doubtful about the explanation.
