DeLay Quits "Dancing With The Stars"

It looks like America won't have Tom DeLay to make fun of on Dancing With The Stars anymore. After performing his last dance on the show, a ridiculous Samba, Delay made it known that he is quitting the show. He says he has developed stress fractures in both of his feet, and therefore could not perform at his best.

DeLay said, "If you can't practice you make a fool of yourself out there." I don't know why that would stop him though, since he's been making a fool out of himself for many years. I'll bet a lot of Republicans are happy today though, since his bad dancing was making the whole party look bad.

For his last dance on the show, DeLay wore red pants and a striped barbershop quartet-style shirt with an elephant on the back. His partner wore a blue dress with multiple stars and a donkey on it. The dance was supposed to symbolize bipartisanship between the two parties (a myth killed long ago by Republicans).

Perhaps the best comment on this final dance is by Dr. Zaius of Zaius Nation:

Delay was dressed as one fourth of a barbershop quartet with a GOP symbol of an elephant on his back, a cultural reference that only those members of the audience that are over 65 would probably understand. In this particular outfit, I felt that his costume did a really good job of representing his party and how they are viewed by the American public right now.

His dancing partner, Cheryl Burke, wore a blue dress with white stars and the Democratic symbol of a donkey on her dress. True to form to the metaphor created by the dance number, the Democrat was younger, hipper, better looking, and did all of the work while the Republican got all of the attention.
