Damn, why’d ya have to go do that to us?  What’d we ever do to you?  Now I have to go soak my eyeballs in acid.

This performance demands a good response...

As an Illiniosan, let me express my profound gratitude to DeLay. He has eclipsed the “most embarrassing reality-show turn by a disgraced ex-pol” record set by Patti Blagojevich.

(And no, I don’t think it’s inaccurate or sexist to call Patti an ex-pol, even though it was her husband who held office. She is the daughter of a prominent Chicago alderman, and played a very active role in her husband’s political career both before and after his election.)

I’m just going to put my faith in sheer political apathy on this and hope that DeLay doesn’t make it out of the bottom five just because the audience can’t bring itself to give a rat’s ass about who this guy used to be.

‘Scuse me, must go gouge out eyes. BRB….

I’m not a fan of DeLay, but maybe one should not call him “felon” until he’s convicted.  Even he’s innocent until proven guilty.

Well, given that we had Rodney Hide on Dancing With The Stars doing pretty well back in 2006, I wouldn’t harass Delay about it too much, even if his politics are repulsive.

Then again, even though Hide is the leader of the right-most minor Parliamentary party, ke’d probably count as a moderate-to-conservative Democrat in American terms.

“I’m not a fan of DeLay, but maybe one should not call him “felon” until he’s convicted.  Even he’s innocent until proven guilty.”

Pandagon is not a court of law, and he has been charged with multiple felonies.  He may not have been convicted yet, so he’s not a “convicted felon”, but calling that bag of sleaze a felon is certainly within the rules of fairness, especially considering how Tom and the rest of the rethugs have verbally bullied everyone else for decades…

“Watch felon Tom DeLay…”

Nah.

Ok, accused felon, certified asshole.  Seeing Tom DeLay with his track pants hitched up to his armpits is a nice reminder of the GOP’s significant fun gap.

Aint’ gonna watch that, nosirree.

Poor Cheryl.  No trophy for her this season.  The devil on my left shoulder tells me that DeLay is going to hang on for a while, unfortunately.

“accused felon, certified asshole.”  —  works for me too.

Can’t push the button…just can’t.

They just played this on MSNBC, and I made it no further than the closeup on two shakes of his middle-aged conservative ass.

Which has ruined this song for me, like, forever.

Please god, he was voted off? Like immediately?

I just violently hurled up my spinal column. Please donate it to the Dems.

ABC apparently just got YouTube to yank the video.

Sorry, judybrowni, I doubt he’ll go this week; routines like his get fan support, plus there are two men scored lower than him.  I could see him getting to week five, especially if the women tonight aren’t better than the men.  Though at that point, the celebrities who can’t dance are expected to leave; the judges might even deliberately try to kill him, the way I’m pretty sure they did Cloris Leachman.

I’ve always found that when I needed to lose a couple of pounds quickly, skipping dinner for a few nights was a relatively painless way to do so.  Now, thanks to this post, I don’t even *miss* dinner!

The seams of my formerly-too-tight skinny jeans are grateful.

My mom loves this show, so I get all the dirt from her. She didn’t mention DeLay specifically, but did say that all the men were worse than she had expected, and all the women were better.

I’m hoping he gets voted out fast fast fast!

And now, live from Asuncion, Paraguay, a very special Dancing with Stars, featuring . . . Martin Bormann!
