Why Yes, Tom DeLay *Will* Samba The Shit Out Of “Why Can’t We Be Friends?”


Do you know how many candy canes were killed in order to make Tom DeLay’s dance outfit he wore on the dancing show the other night? This is a rough estimate, but… ~all of them. Anyway, bitchin’ rhinestone elephant decal on the back! It really catches the light, especially when Tom DeLay throws his arms up, mid-samba, to throw what appears to be dollar bills at his dance partner, a Job-like figure named Cheryl Dance. Ooh, and note how the light show is in red, white and blue, the official colors of candy canes who have been murdered. [YouTube]

    How come that clown from The Apollo hasn’t shoved this turd sausage off the stage yet?

  2. PoignancySelz says at 3:02 pm, October 6th, 2009

    His dancing is so brave. It’s like he interrupted his legal concerns to volunteer in Vietnam.
    I’m not saying the two are the same, but, Keep fighting Tom, you gay gangster

  3. SayItWithWookies says at 3:04 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Tom Delay — the forgotten Huckabee.

  4. freakishlystrong says at 3:04 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Gawd what an oily, smug gasbag that old hack is. And her partner looks like an old lesbian…

  5. AbstinenceOnly Ed says at 3:06 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Lovin’ that inverted cross on his chest. Look at this queen sashaying about! You go, Auntie Christ!

  6. ManchuCandidate says at 3:06 pm, October 6th, 2009

    What a feeling (I am vomiting now), bein’s believin’ (I am dying now)
    Douchebag comes alive, you can dance right through your crimes
    What a feeling (I can really have it all)
    What a feeling (Tom Delay stays alive when they call)
    I have seen it all (I really have seen it all)
    Have it all (Tom Delay stays alive when they call)
    (call, call, call, call, what a feeling) He can have it all
    (Bein’s believin’) bein’s believin’
    (Take your douchiness, make it happen) make it happen
    (What a feeling) what a feeling… [to fade]

    Tom Delay insisted that if he wore a totally gay outfit on the show, that he be allowed to put the emblem of the republican party somewhere on his backside. Love the red, size three dancing pumps, Tom!!!

  8. CorkPopper says at 3:08 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Those are some mighty high heels on his red dancin’ shoes, is all I’m saying.

  9. BobTheBuilder says at 3:08 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Pretty cool that Tom took this opportunity to debut the new, official GOP dress uniform.

  10. sanantonerose says at 3:09 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Dear sweet heavenly Lord…could the judges cram their tongues any further up his slimy ass?

    He’s. bought. every. single. last. one. of. ‘em. Or has something on them. Most likely the latter.

  11. Jukesgrrl says at 3:14 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Where on earth does one procure red Sans-a-belt pants in 2009?

  12. RoscoePColtraine says at 3:19 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Jukesgrrl: If anyone would know, it’d be Tom. He had to tell the costume designer, as a matter of fact.

  13. Aurelio says at 3:29 pm, October 6th, 2009

    They are gonna love him in prison.

  14. Evil Dr. Puma says at 3:31 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Has DeLay yet done “The Twist,” “The Hustle,” or “The Perp Walk?”

  15. norbizness says at 3:32 pm, October 6th, 2009

    MAKE ME A ROOT BEER FLOAT YOU OILY LITTLE SHITSTAIN

  16. greywindz says at 3:38 pm, October 6th, 2009

    la la la la laa bamba…

  17. vladster says at 3:39 pm, October 6th, 2009

    He needs 12 hours with Sully. SWEET JESUS!!!

  18. lampadadog says at 3:41 pm, October 6th, 2009

    The hip rotation he’s achieving is unbelievable.

  19. If you watched the whole show, you’d know that Tommy Twinkletoes has a note from his doctor certifying that he has actual cloven hooves.

  20. MLHencken says at 3:48 pm, October 6th, 2009

    It hurts my eyes.

  21. Aurelio says at 3:49 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Since when is “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” a samba? “Desafinado” is a samba. “The One Note Samba” is a samba. If “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” is a samba, then anything can be a samba, except maybe a waltz.

    But Tom’s cellmate won’t care what Tom calls it, will he? Just so long as Tom keeps moving his buttocks that way, he can call it anything he wants.

  22. Aurelio says at 3:51 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Guard: What are you guys doing in there?
    Tom: The samba.

  23. Blue_in_VA says at 3:53 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Gah, I hope he never gets voted off. Best part? He was panting before the music even started.

  24. greywindz says at 3:53 pm, October 6th, 2009
  25. Rutherfraud B. Hayes says at 3:55 pm, October 6th, 2009

    How could they leave out the vital, subliminal, arch-Conservative message of right-wing Funkaspiracy band War?:
    “I see you standing in the welfare line
    I see you standing in it every time”
    Delay is dancing with communism.

  26. Blue_in_VA says at 3:56 pm, October 6th, 2009

    We should also note the odd synergy between barbershop quarter and samba. Such as.

  27. PoignancySelz says at 3:59 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Aurelio: your on a roll, aurelio. I wonder if he’ll refuse his presidential pardon from Palin

  28. Blue_in_VA says at 4:00 pm, October 6th, 2009

    See? This is why I never post on Wonkette. That’s barbershop quartet.

  29. RoscoePColtraine says at 4:05 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Delay is dropping out. I just learned it on FACEBOOK.

  30. eclecticbrotha says at 4:14 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Worst.
    Cover.
    Of.
    A.
    War.
    Song.
    EVAH.

    I’m so glad this assclown hung up his dancing shoes. Slipping out of the GOP’s standard issue clown shoes is probably what caused the stress fractures. Also.

  31. DangerousLiberal says at 4:22 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Aurelio: Well, he looks great in stripes.

  32. nightshift says at 4:51 pm, October 6th, 2009

    I think I saw Liberace wear that outfit once, minus the elephant on the back.

  33. randomsausage says at 5:28 pm, October 6th, 2009

    say what you will, but wingnuts have great natural rhythm

  34. Darkness says at 6:53 pm, October 6th, 2009

    Somehow, this guy is SO gay, he’s all the way out the other side into idiotically, blithely straight.

  35. bozofish says at 7:44 pm, October 6th, 2009

    According to People Magazine, Dancing Tommy has hung up his death-dealing, high-heeled red shoes which have pulverized his feet into fractions of fractures. On doctor’s advice, he has “a bone stimulator machine that I put on them.” Um, yeah. But it’s not his long-suffering partner Cheryl who will now be a life-long Democrat. And who knew the Delay loves The Pixies.

  36. donner_froh says at 8:59 pm, October 6th, 2009

    bozofish: This is what a yahoo gossip site sez:

    In addition to being a generally disgraced politician, he is one of the creepiest old white dudes with a t-shirt tucked into his sweatpants we have ever seen. Everything about him on this show makes us uncomfortable.

    They list him as the second worst contestant ever.

  37. AutomaticPilot says at 9:21 pm, October 6th, 2009

    If Obama was dancing it, would it be called the Sambo? (at least Sarah Palin would think so)

  38. nightshift says at 9:51 pm, October 6th, 2009

    bozofish: Wha? He likem the Pixies? I’ve been a fan of theirs for 15 or so years? What does this say about me? I have something in common with Hot Tub Tommy?

  39. Cold War Unicorns says at 12:26 am, October 7th, 2009
  40. artbot2000 says at 12:38 am, October 7th, 2009

    He was saving the Texas two-step for last.

  41. artbot2000 says at 12:47 am, October 7th, 2009

    norbizness:

    Win.

  42. Rascalcat says at 10:39 am, October 7th, 2009

    Dear Jesus,

    Is there anything I can do to remove the images of Tom Delay shaking his flabby-ass, from my tortured soul? I know that “good taste” should have caused me to avert my eyes, but I was weak and am now willing to perform any pennance to have this dance blasphemy erased from my simple mind.

    I promise to never watch such a thing again.

    The “Cat”

  43. ms_mcgee says at 12:56 pm, October 7th, 2009

    He makes Steve Wozniak look GOOD.

  44. jinxykb says at 1:24 pm, October 7th, 2009

    Delay can always get a job working at Farrells Ice Cream Parlour.

  45. Hu Jardon says at 2:30 pm, October 7th, 2009

    Is it my imagination or is that an up-side-down crucifix being worn by Tom Delay? Is this Republican advocating Satan?
