At the end of Monday's World News, ABC played a new Tom DeLay-focused promo for Dancing with the Stars, featuring a twirling and swirling former House Majority Leader. The new season will premiere on Monday, September 21.
The announcer, over brief video of DeLay doing a solo dance act that is better seen (watch the accompanying video of the promo) than described:
For the first time ever, the Republican hammer moves to the left. Tom DeLay is Dancing with the Stars. Live, three-night premiere, next Monday, 8, 7 Central, on ABC.

Thats' hilarious! I
September 15, 2009 - 06:24 ET by motherbeltThats' hilarious!
I kind of thought he would make a fool of himself but he actually looks like he can pull it off!! (I'm not saying "win" just "do it")
No matter how bad, he couldn't be worse than Tucker Carlson sitting in a chair! But Tom looks like he will actually enjoy it.
My friend who keeps up on all that stuff, she watches ET and those shows, said that he had been trying to get on there.
I think he will surprise everyone. I can't wait to see him!
It'll be fun watching DeLay
September 15, 2009 - 06:27 ET by FeynmanFanIt'll be fun watching DeLay get down with his own bad self.

TUCKER...
September 15, 2009 - 06:53 ET by danybhoyI am kind of pissed that Tucker no longer wears his bow ties anymore. The would be like seeing ZZ Top with Billy & Dusty clean shaven, it would suck.

Politics is showbiz for ugly people
Awesome point! You'd never
September 15, 2009 - 07:46 ET by Roger the ShrubberAwesome point! You'd never see a flaming liberal like Jerry Springer embarrass himself on a crap show like this.
In other words: politics does not matter when it comes to being stupid enough to go on this show.
And don't forget Mark

September 15, 2009 - 19:42 ET by Cool ArrowBut failed to catch a reciprocal Jackass joke from you about the Dems.
Was there just no natural lead-in on any of the threads?

Has anyone heard that Delay
September 15, 2009 - 19:43 ET by bigtimerHas anyone heard that Delay got hurt somehow during one of these shows?
Seems like I heard some little tidbit somewhere early this morning, forgot about it until now.

I'd Rather See Him Swirl Around In A Jail Cell With Nancy Pelosi
September 15, 2009 - 22:56 ET by The7SticksAs far as I'm concerned, the only one who comes close to being as repulsive as Nancy Pelosi is Tom DeLay. When I saw that spectacle about trying to intervene in the Terri Schaivo incident as if it were his business, I wanted to literally defecate. I was that livid. That was the kind of stuff that preceded Pelosi's reign where she went after our government prosecutors who were trying to do their jobs investigating terrorists. If it were up to me, I would send both of them up the river to Chowchilla Prison and let them share the same jail cell. Well, that's my two cents.
Delay always looks lieka
September 16, 2009 - 09:39 ET by Roger the ShrubberDelay always looks lieka sleazy televangelist at worst, and a slimy scumbag politician at best. Too slick, that wicked smile....
