This season is going to be soooooooooo bad. We will probably watch the first couple episodes to see if anyone stands out but I’m not counting on it.
Tom Delay on DWTS ping . . .
oh mi god please no
Now he proves he has no balls OR dignity...
Mark Dacascos is also an actor - he was in “The Crow:Stairway to Heaven”, TV show. He also has been in movies, and was my first experience with Capoeira. Interesting guy - wondered where he went to.
Unless there’s another Mark Decascos, I don’t know about...
Most pols are good tap dancers.
There are going to be not a few ladies interested if Mark participates. Well known in the martial arts film world.
Great, just where we need him. /s
The Hammer!
Why in hell would he do this?
This takes away any seriousness, credibility, professionalism he has ever had in my mind.
This is a joke and he will be portrayed as silly, non professional and rightly so.
Everytime we turn around it is something else with the pubbies....amazing. Simply amazing.
Lord, have mercy. Tom, please retire quietly and peacefully.
I hope Chuck Liddell kicks him in the face.
What an unfunny joke this will be.
If you happen to be in the audience, and you get a chance, could you ask him why he pressured Republicans in the House to go on such a massive spending spree that those six years of Republican rule go down as the second biggest domestic spending administration (adjusted for inflation) in US history — second only to LBJ’s great society programs. Is that why they called him the hammer? Are all Texans big spenders?
Ah, the allure of Hollywood.
Even “The Hammer” can’t say NO.
Lame...Lame...
Oh gee, it’s great,
At last we’ve got a congressman who can
Really sing and dance!
We can’t expect America
To win against it’s foes
With no one in the congress who
Can really tap his toes.
Apologies to Tom Lehrer
“The Hammer!”
yeah imagine if he gets to dance with rahm emmanuel...
Michael Irvin?
huh?
