Tom DeLay to Dance With The Stars
The Hill ^ | 8-17-09 | Eric Zimmermann

Posted on 08/17/2009 1:56:39 PM PDT by kingattax

Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay (R-Tex.) will be back in the spotlight this fall, but not because of political involvement. The conservative Texan will be a contestant on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars."

ABC announced this season's cast today on Good Morning America. DeLay will join the likes of singer Macy Gray, former supermodel Kathy Ireland, former NFL star Michael Irvin, and Donny Osmond.

This should be….weird.

Meanwhile the Democrats STILL haven’t brought their “ethics” case against Tom DeLay to court.

Looks like a larger-than-normal number of “designated stiffs” in this group....

What a total dork. All these politicians want to be rock stars. All about ego.

Just heard CNN’s Cafferty saying Delay should be dancing in a prison. When Wolfe Blitzer reminded him Delay had not been convicetd of any crime, Cafferty, with an astonished look on his face said, “Oh”.

Or maybe he just enjoys dancing. Why not, I think the show is fun and a challenge for those who participate.

“Look at me, I’m a caricature of my former self. Will somebody please pay attention?” cried Tom. (and who the heck watches that crap?)

Chris Bell, a lameduck Democrat and 3 time loser, was the chump who filed the ethics charge on his way out of office. He did it because he was angry about the redistricting of Texas (but that wasn’t what the ethics charge was about).

Despite the Left’s claim that the redistricting was simply to put more Republicans in Congress, Chris Bell lost his seat to a black Democrat. He’s a closeted bigot.

And prosecuter Ronnie Earle (D) has resigned from the case, if not office.

It was a simple show trial and it accomplished the goal. It ousted Tom Delay from office and it handed Congressional leadership to the Democrats over a bogus charge of “a vast culture of corruption in the GOP that extends all the way to the top of the party”.

Pelosi promised us the most ethical congress in history. Fell far short of that.

The Vegas Line has DeLay as a 3:1 favorite over Robert Byrd.

I watch it - wouldn’t miss it. I’d even ignore a speech by the so-called president to watch it...I’d much rather watch Tom Delay make a fool of himself than watch that disgrace sitting in our White House make a fool of himself.

Donny Osmond

That show revitalized his sister's career. Because of it, they both now do a nightly act in Las Vegas.

Before "Dancing," Marie was selling dolls on QVC. Since "Dancing," she closed up her Provo office and moved the family to Vegas.
