Tom DeLay Dropping Out Of Dancing With The Stars

Tom DeLay's brief reality television career is coming to an end. Citing stress fractures in both feet, the former House Majority Leader will announce tonight that he is leaving "Dancing With The Stars," according to E! Online:

I just got word that the former Republican congressman will announce on tonight's results show that his injuries have left him no choice but to drop out of the competition.


With stress fractures in both of his feet, the 62-year-old Texan performed the samba last night against the advice of his doctors and DWTS producers.

1. Good.

My eyes are still bleeding from those clips of his "Wild Thing" performance. :puke:

[emmadoggy]

13. OMG, mine too.

He makes my skin crawl every time I have to look at him on that show.

15. Tom Delay belongs in JAIL. Not dancing on tv

[sinkingfeeling]

2. You mean to tell me he wasn't VOTED off this week?

[Howardx]

4. quitting before he gets fired most likely n/t

[Frustratedlady]

3. I didn't know snakes had stress fractures. He still wearing his high heels?

This will give him an "out" rather than losing. He can always say he was winning, but had to drop out.

He makes my skin crawl.

5. another 'quitter' republican

6. You mean he wasn't VOTED out?

I guess they don't call him "The Hammer" for nothing?

9. It was the preemptive quit. nt

[HubertHeaver]

7. At 62 years old, are not stress fractures a pre-existing condition?

[Wickerman]

8. Quitting, first Palin, now Delay, soon it will be one of their famous "virtues" n/t

[frogmarch]

10. Why was he allowed the dignity of quitting?

Why wasn't he canned right at the start?

For that matter, why was he on the show in the first place?

11. Off to prison now! Go shoo get outa here!

[bluedeminredstate]

12. My eyes!

I tuned in last night just at the moment when they showed Delay explaining why he was going to continue to dance and "party." Then it went on to the live performance of Delay in his bright red, high waist-y sans-a-belt slacks and heels and I almost threw up all over the sofa.
Ewww. Just ewwww.
Nice of him to appropriate a patriotic theme in his dancewear considering his practices in the House were hardly democratic...


:puke:

14. Typical Republican - quits before they are given the heave-ho!

:eyes:

[xocet]

16. Vacation...

I hope that Cheryl has a nice vacation and that, if she returns next time, she is not saddled with a Republican idiot as a partner.

[Arugula Latte]

17. Off to the glue factory with him.

[durablend]

18. Poor thing

Walk it off, asshole. Wasting the public's money by going to a "doctor", the nerve!

[lunatica]

19. Maybe his health insurance Co. will say it's a pre-existing condition

Since he insisted on dancing on his twinkle toes after the fractures.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

20. The bar wasn't an open one. n/t

[Raine]

21. I guess he believes he's tainted the jury pool

enough now to keep him out of the slammer. x(

[Sheltiemama]

22. You can't call what he did last night "the samba."

Or "dancing," for that matter.

[busybl]

23. he's usually sitting on his bubble butt

feet aren't used to that much movement.
