DeLay Tangos a Little Too Hard on Dancing

Despite low score, the Hammer vows to dance on injured foot 'till it breaks'

Share

(Newser) – Former House majority leader Tom DeLay showed off a dignified tango last night on Dancing With the Stars, performing the dance faithfully, if a bit robotically—until the end, when he dipped partner Cheryl Burke, stumbled, and almost dropped her. Though he scored an 18, tying for last with Kathy Ireland, Delay seems determined, the Wall Street Journal reports. He was in obvious pain from a pre-stress fracture in his foot, but he vowed backstage to “dance till it breaks.”

Shouldn't really be too surprised. He did an awful lot of stumbling and dropping when he was House majority leader. Reply

He's cockeyed as hell. Nothing wrong with that, but considering he's an idiot, he'd do better trying to follow in Marty Feldman's footsteps rather than Fred Astaire...

Bit of an insult to Marty Feldman there, who despite his goofy eyes was one of the most clever writers in the 1960s.
