Tom DeLay Appears on "Dancing With the Stars," Surprisingly Light on His Feet

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) appeared on "Dancing With the Stars" with his dance partner two-time winner Cheryl Burke. I must say, he was surprisingly light on his feet. Much like the way he danced around the allegations of wrongdoing that has dogged him in recent years. He spent about 30 years in the politics and I seriously doubt he will make it to the end on the show.

On the premier night of Dancing With the Stars, he came out on stage in a not so conservative outfit, looking like Mr. Furley from "Three's Company." His brown vest was accented by "wild" faux animal print, which went just dandy with his first dance to the song "Wild Thing". A bit of a stretch for this conservative politician.

Tom DeLay didn't impress the judges with his first dance tonight on Dancing with the Stars. Carrie Ann Inaba was the kindest, giving the team of Cheryl Burke and Tom Delay a "6," while Judges Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli were uninspired by Tom DeLay's Cha-Cha and they both gave him a "5" rating.
