TWO RESIGNATIONS AND COUNTING

Tom DeLay RESIGNS From Dance!

When the producers told Tom DeLay not to dance, Tom DeLay danced. When the Cheryl person was like, “Seriously… just. You know what, it’s really okay?” Tom DeLay danced on. When the doctors reminded DeLay of his equal parts vague and debilitating foot injury, Tom DeLay chose samba, not fear. But the ambiguity of the foot injury has simply become too much to bear! And now he hath danced too much and there is no more dancing left in the world. DeLay: “If you can’t practice you’ll make a fool out of yourself out here, and I don’t want to do that to Cheryl.” No… avoid that for sure. [HuffPost]

  1. Smeg.

  2. Oldskool says at 9:59 am, October 7th, 2009

    Lucky for him he can hobble in front of the judge at his sentencing. But he’d be better off with a cast on his soon-to-be-sore ass.

  3. greywindz says at 9:59 am, October 7th, 2009

    Long live Twinkletoes, at his suavest and chivalric best…

  4. ManchuCandidate says at 10:00 am, October 7th, 2009

    It appears that even Tom’s feet hate him.

  5. takes12no1 says at 10:02 am, October 7th, 2009

    Thank Gawd! But too late on not making a fool out of anyone Tom.

  6. bitchincamaro says at 10:02 am, October 7th, 2009

    What? Snakes with feet?

  7. Maybe there is a god, after all.

    Nah.

  8. phineas_bounderby says at 10:03 am, October 7th, 2009

    Very disappointing. I viewed DeLay as the next Ginger Rogers. Or at least Arthur Treacher …

  9. KilgoreTrout_XL says at 10:04 am, October 7th, 2009

    Hmmm, you’re going to discard your precious publicity for the sake of another person, Tom? This doesn’t sound like the man who shamelessly pimped a terribly suffering and terminally ill woman he’d never met for political gain (pod person?)

  10. QUITTER! But still more plausible than Piven’s mercury poisoning.

    bitchincamaro: big LOL

  11. phineas_bounderby: Not Ginger Rogers or Fred Astaire, but Fred Rogers.

  12. bitchincamaro: I don’t know. I don’t think the bug man is that advanced on the evolutionary ladder.

  13. Crank Tango says at 10:08 am, October 7th, 2009

    Work like you don’t need the money, because you are corrupt, Love like you’ve never been hurt, because that’s what hookers are for, dance like you’re not under indictment, and don’t shed a tear for the hammer.

  14. hobospacejunkie says at 10:11 am, October 7th, 2009

    Tom Delay’s mother sucks cocks in hell. Or sells socks that smell. One of the two.

  15. Rascalcat says at 10:14 am, October 7th, 2009

    On the bright side, the lovely and lithe Cheryl, has agreed to tour with the flabby-assed Delay once his delicate feet have healed.

    They are doing a remake of “Beauty and the Beast”.

  16. facehead says at 10:14 am, October 7th, 2009

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

  17. chascates says at 10:17 am, October 7th, 2009

    I just wished someone had slapped him and made both of his eyes focus on the same spot.

  18. phineas_bounderby says at 10:17 am, October 7th, 2009

    TGY: “It’s a beautiful day with the lobbyists, a wonderful day in the smoke-filled room … please grease my palm … please grease my palm …”

  19. Monsieur Grumpe says at 10:20 am, October 7th, 2009

    He needs to get back to what he’s good at; poisoning things.

  20. chascates says at 10:22 am, October 7th, 2009

    Juli, any new pictures of SKS’s little critter?

  21. ttommyunger says at 10:24 am, October 7th, 2009

    Which answers the age-old question: how many fat-assed turds can dance on the head of a pin? NONE!!! by the way, too late on embarrassing your partner, mission accomplished there the first time she showed up next to you, Hot Tub.

  22. phineas_bounderby says at 10:26 am, October 7th, 2009

    Monsieur Grumpe: Yes, and I think his samba would have been much more impressive if he’d done it with one of those hand pressurized spray tanks strapped to his back. He could’ve danced to a syncopated version of “La Cucaracha”, and all the other bug men would’ve appreciated the in joke.

  23. bfstevie says at 10:26 am, October 7th, 2009

    He’s not quiting. A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket… and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can WIN. Also.

  24. The Huffington Pogue says at 10:28 am, October 7th, 2009

    He’s always one step behind Todd in trying to win over Sarah Palin’s heart.

  25. geminisunmars says at 10:30 am, October 7th, 2009

    He was just unDeLaying the inevitable.

  26. norbizness says at 10:31 am, October 7th, 2009

    I’ll start following Tom on Twitter when they can cram a criminal indictment into 140 characters or less.

  27. magic titty says at 10:33 am, October 7th, 2009

    geminisunmars: that’s just really bad.

  28. Joshua Norton says at 10:39 am, October 7th, 2009

    Gad! If Tommy Boy ever did the Samba his man-boobs would have knocked him senseless.

  29. Extemporanus says at 10:40 am, October 7th, 2009

    Goddamn pussyfoot.

  30. Jumping Jim says at 10:43 am, October 7th, 2009

    If there’s one thing Tom DeLay knows, it’s that if someone points a gun at your feet and says “Dance” you dance.

  31. freakishlystrong says at 10:44 am, October 7th, 2009

    Hopefully, he can use his new dance skills to get out of being the wife when he gets to prison.

  32. chascates says at 10:48 am, October 7th, 2009

    S.Luggo: Lad growed up fast. And has a suspiciously looking Newell/ginger-type of hair.

  33. hobospacejunkie says at 10:48 am, October 7th, 2009

    S.Luggo: Newell as baby billiken — that is frightening!

  34. Gopherit says at 11:07 am, October 7th, 2009

    S.Luggo: So young to have no soul.

  35. Yes You Can Own A Piece of History says at 11:09 am, October 7th, 2009

    chascates: There’s still time!

  36. BigBrainOnBrad says at 11:09 am, October 7th, 2009

    I sure hope Tom doesn’t have some rare form of foot cancer that will spread through his bones and kill him slowly with a lot of pain. That would be very sad.

  37. Gopherit says at 11:09 am, October 7th, 2009

    All those years of carrying around those giant cans of bug poison finally caught up to him. He can call it his war injurty.

  38. zenferret says at 11:29 am, October 7th, 2009

    He is quitting for the troops!

  39. Accordion-o-rama says at 11:50 am, October 7th, 2009

    Rascalcat: How about “Cheryl and the Cyst”?

  40. Barrelhse says at 11:53 am, October 7th, 2009

    Cheryl must be one vapid airhead to partner with that asshat. Birds of a feather, don’t you know.

  41. geminisunmars says at 12:03 pm, October 7th, 2009

    magic titty: Thank you. He just brings out my best.

  42. yargisbargis says at 12:18 pm, October 7th, 2009

    zenferret: NO he’s quitting to save the the taxpayers money…somehow….

  43. zenferret says at 12:44 pm, October 7th, 2009

    Barrelhse: Just paid to do the show and drew the obviously short straw.

    Rotund straw.

    Portly straw.

    Ancient straw.

    Depends wearing straw.

    Quit before getting kicked off straw.

  44. ms_mcgee says at 12:58 pm, October 7th, 2009

    “I don’t want to do that to Cheryl.” Hmmm. Was there a horizontal Samba going on here?

  45. CaptWillard says at 1:00 pm, October 7th, 2009

    First Kyle Busch doesn’t make The Chase, now this. I has a sad.

  46. greywindz says at 1:11 pm, October 7th, 2009

    ms_mcgee: You copied my photo…copyrights!!!

  47. AbstinenceOnly Ed says at 1:50 pm, October 7th, 2009

    The hammer done shattered like glass.

  48. hiphophitler says at 1:51 pm, October 7th, 2009

    The real problem was the Tom was too sexy for his shirt.

  49. ShortShadey says at 4:36 pm, October 7th, 2009
  50. PlanetWingnuta says at 5:12 pm, October 7th, 2009

    she should kick him in the nuts and get another celeberity to dance with her cause she aint a quitter like sarah palin..whut?

  51. OzoneTom says at 5:22 pm, October 7th, 2009

    Hey hey Tom DeLay!
    God gave you
    feet of clay.

    Yes she did.
