It looks like former Congressman Tom DeLay won’t have to face the voters after all: EW.COM reports that injuries will force the Hammer to drop out of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” tonight.
Although the network would not comment, stress fractures in the former House Majority Leader’s feet had led to speculation that he might not even perform Monday night (he did — a Samba). We’ll never know, but DeLay’s injuries might have been a moot point; he and partner Cheryl Burke had stalled in the vote talley, regular placing second lowest and in constant danger of elimination.
The show airs at 8 p.m.

Now, if he would just depart. How nice it would be to live in a political and Christian world where his warped ideology would not be allowed credence, or even need to be acknowledged.

I couldn't figure out why he was dancing with the star (Cheryl Burke) anyway.

A life of collecting the public dime will leave you with a body unable to handle the rigors of dancing. What a wimp!
