Tom Delay to be on Dancing with the Stars

I'm not kidding.

Maybe it's just me, but I thought this guy's fifteen minutes of fame ended long ago.
Apparently, these guys had a last minute cancellation or something.

I can't decide whether the rest of them are good or not.

Quote :

Other hopefuls include entertainer Donny Osmond; singers Mya, Macy Gray and Aaron Carter; actors Melissa Joan Hart, Debi Mazar and Ashley Hamilton (son of George); models Joanna Krupa and Kathy Ireland; reality stars Kelly Osbourne and Mark Dacascos ("the Chairman" on Food Network's "Iron Chef America"); mixed martial artist Chuck Liddell; professional snowboarder Louie Vito; Olympic swimmer Natalie Coughlin; former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin and the 62-year-old former congressman from Texas.

Tom Delay? Get out of here.

That Tom Delay is going to be on Dancing With the Stars is not bad. That there's another season of this sad waste of TV is bad.

You're just pissy because they won't ask Jerome Bettis to fill the "retired NFL player" slot they have every year.

"I love to see a fat guy score."

"Why's that, John?"

"Because when you see a fat guy score, you get to see a fat guy dance."



The Replacements aside, that'd still be a bad idea.

He couldn't do it anyway. He's under contract to NBC.

Oh noes! Tom Delay has injured his foot and won't be in the show!

Number of people who care: 0.

Sources tell PEOPLE that the former Republican House Majority Leader will withdraw from Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday’s live results show due to stress fractures in both of his feet.
DeLay was advised by doctors and the show’s producers not to perform on Monday’s show, but decided to go ahead with his samba with partner Cheryl Burke, saying on the broadcast, “What’s a little pain when we can party?”
By the end of the night, though, DeLay told PEOPLE he was paying the price
for the performance. “They’re starting to tell me I shouldn’t have done
this,” he said of his feet, which were dressed in orthopedic booties
after the show. “I ice them. I’ve got a bone stimulator machine that I
put on them.”
The politician was lauded by the judges for his effort but did not score well, finishing second-to-last with just 15 points.
A rep for the show declined to comment.----------------(spam link removed)

Yeah, he's got a bone stimulator machine and he isn't afraid to use it! To stimulate his, er, bone.

Ah, Dancing with the Stars...I use that show as proof as to why I'm not in stock market analysis. When I heard about it, my kneejerk reaction was, "Who's going to watch a bunch of D-List celebrities dance?" And of course, I was proven wrong.

That was one hell of a delay.
