Tom DeLay Gerrymanders Foot: Stress Fracture Could Sideline “Dancing” Debut

I’d excitedly set my TiVo to catch Tom DeLay make his lightfooted debut on "Dancing with the Stars" on Monday, September 21. But now Tom’s terpsichorean triumph may be, um delayed because of stress fracture in his foot. The toe tapper tweeted:

But then he waffled and recanted in a later tweet, saying

No stress fracture. It’s a pre-stress fracture. I live for another day.

I am breathless in anticipation….

Oh Gawd!

I hope he’s OK for the rehearsals and the contest. It would be a terrible shame if he entered prison without a skill.

Damn.

I was sure that “Dancing with the Stars” was Sarah Palin’s next stepping stone in her career.

Though, I guess they would have to rename the show “Dancing with the Black Holes” or “Dancing with the Dunces” or something like that.

I just want to see him in a tutu.

It’s the derriere fracture he’d have to watch out for in prison.

With so many compelling reasons to avoid watching ABC, Tom DeLay is just the icing on the cake. Must-miss TV.


tbsa | Wednesday September 16, 2009 07:46 pm 8

I want to see him make a fool of himself at least once. I agree with you ratfood. I usually avoid ABC as well.

More like Dancing With The Fucking NutJob.

Why is he still roaming the streets…ah, dance halls?

I’ve lost count of the number of right-wing extremists we could ask that question about.

I never watch ABC.

I guess the case against him fell apart. Well, at least it got him out of congress.

But ABC offers so much… bad reality shows, bad scripted shows, bad news shows, etc..

I consider “bad reality shows” to be needlessly redundant.

And it’s all owned by Disney. Even as a little kid I didn’t like Disney; scared the sh*t out of me, most of them. Then we took our son to Disney World when he was 4. Hated that too.* Then I found out about Disney’s politics. All-in-all, quite a losing combination.

*My favorite one-liner was waiting at the mini-train station for the mini-train. There was a squirrel on the tracks. I outlouded: Of my god, there’s a squirrel on the tracks. It’s a real squirrel. It’s the only thing that’s real in all of Disney World.

Yet another aspect of pop culture that leaves me completely baffled.

I loved Peter, Paul and Mary, and so did my students just last year.

When I took my oldest to The World she walked up to Mickey and said, “Hi Mouse” and turned to me asking to go home now.


Hugh | Wednesday September 16, 2009 08:00 pm 22

OK, if no one else has asked. What in the world is a pre-stress fracture? It sounds like some jazzy way to say his foot hurts. How many of us have had pre-stress fractures (in both feet) after a long day of doing whatever?

A long day of pre-walking.


marymccurnin | Wednesday September 16, 2009 08:03 pm 24

I wonder if everything about Delay is premature?

Alright Tom , break a leg !

Why isn’t this Racist Nazi Traitor in Jail instead of being rewarded with a national we forgive you show. The only thing good coming out of this is… Myself I am watching the sponsors and as soon as they are identifies I am boycotting them.

Why is 28 moderated but not 27? It’s got violence and all caps.


robspierre | Thursday September 17, 2009 09:41 am 29

Maybe he could go on “Dick Cheyney’s Wild Kingdom” instead.


Gasman | Thursday September 17, 2009 01:03 pm 30

Delay should know better than to continually stick both feet into his mouth. He’s pretty much lived his entire life with at least one of his feet in his pie-hole, but even his gaping yaw couldn’t take the second one in there too. That’s what happened.
